Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans (20 oz each) canned young green jackfruit
- 1 cup non-dairy milk
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup olive oil
Instructions
Drain and rinse the canned jackfruit thoroughly. Pat dry with a paper towel and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the non-dairy milk and apple cider vinegar to create a vegan buttermilk mixture. Let it sit for 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, cornstarch, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt.
In another shallow dish, place the panko breadcrumbs.
Take each piece of jackfruit and dip it into the vegan buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge it in the flour mixture, ensuring it is coated all around.
Dip the floured jackfruit back into the vegan buttermilk, followed by rolling it in the panko breadcrumbs until fully coated. Gently press the breadcrumbs to adhere.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the breaded jackfruit pieces into the skillet. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the fried jackfruit 'pork chops' onto a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or side dishes.
