Start by preparing the young green jackfruit. Drain and rinse under cold water to remove any brine or syrup. Cut into smaller pieces if necessary and set aside.
In a large pan, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent.
Add the minced garlic, ginger, and green chilies to the pan. Sauté for a minute until fragrant.
Stir in the shrimp paste and cook for another minute, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Add the prepared jackfruit to the pan, stirring to coat with the aromatic mixture.
Pour in the coconut milk and let it simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and cook for about 15 minutes, allowing the jackfruit to absorb the flavors.
After 15 minutes, uncover the pan and add the salt and pepper. Adjust seasoning as needed.
Stir in the coconut cream and let it simmer for another 5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Add the spinach leaves and cook for 1-2 minutes until they wilt.
Remove from heat and serve your Keto Ginataang Langka warm. Enjoy it as a flavorful, keto-friendly meal paired with cauliflower rice or on its own!
