Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Canned young green jackfruit
- 1 block Extra firm tofu
- 6 tablespoons Hoisin sauce
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 4 stalks Green onions (thinly sliced)
- 1 medium Cucumber (julienned)
- 1 medium Carrot (julienned)
- 16 small Chinese pancakes
Instructions
Drain and rinse the jackfruit. Shred the jackfruit pieces using your fingers, removing any seeds you encounter.
Drain and press the tofu to remove excess moisture, then crumble it into small pieces.
In a large bowl, mix hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, maple syrup, sesame oil, ground ginger, and garlic powder to form a marinade.
Add shredded jackfruit and crumbled tofu to the marinade, stirring well to ensure even coverage. Let it sit for 15-20 minutes.
Preheat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated jackfruit and tofu mixture to the skillet, spreading it out evenly.
Cook the mixture for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is slightly caramelized and the edges are crispy.
While the mixture is cooking, prepare your vegetables. Julienne the cucumber and carrot, and thinly slice the green onions.
To warm the pancakes, either steam them for about 1-2 minutes or warm them in a dry skillet for 10 seconds on each side.
To assemble, place a spoonful of the jackfruit and tofu 'duck' mixture in the center of a pancake.
Add a few slices of cucumber, carrot, and a sprinkle of green onions on top of the mixture.
Roll the pancake around the filling tightly, folding in the sides as you roll.
Serve immediately with additional hoisin sauce on the side for dipping.
