Ingredients

  • about 570 g Young green jackfruit
  • 1 large Onion
  • 1/2 medium Red bell pepper
  • 1/2 medium Green bell pepper
  • 2-3 Chili peppers (siling labuyo)
  • 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons Calamansi juice (or lime juice)
  • 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons Vegan mayonnaise
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

  1. 1Place the about 570 g young green jackfruit in a large heavy-bottomed pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the jackfruit is tender. Drain the jackfruit and let it cool completely on a plate. Once cool, use two forks to shred the jackfruit into small pieces.
  2. 2While the jackfruit is cooling, prepare the vegetables. Finely chop the 1 large onion. Cut the 1/2 medium red bell pepper and 1/2 medium green bell pepper into small, 0.635 cm pieces. Mince the 2-3 chili peppers (siling labuyo).
  3. 3Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a 30.48 cm skillet over medium-high heat (190.6°C / 190°C). Add the chopped 1 large onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it begins to soften and become translucent.
  4. 4Add the chopped 1/2 medium red bell pepper and 1/2 medium green bell pepper to the skillet. Continue to cook for another 4-5 minutes, stirring often, until the peppers are softened.
  5. 5Add the shredded about 570 g young green jackfruit to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the jackfruit is lightly browned and slightly crispy in places.
  6. 6Stir in the minced 2-3 chili peppers, 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 3 tablespoons calamansi juice (or lime juice), and 2 tablespoons vegan mayonnaise. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until everything is well combined and heated through.
  7. 7Season the mixture with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Taste and add more salt or pepper if needed. Serve the Jackfruit Sisig hot, ideally on a sizzling plate or over cooked rice.
