Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups green jackfruit (canned or fresh, rinsed and cut into bite-sized pieces)
- 1 medium-sized green papaya (peeled, seeded, and sliced into wedges)
- 2 cups moringa (malunggay) leaves
- 5 cups vegetable broth
- 2 inches ginger (peeled and julienned)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 small red onion (sliced)
- 1 tablespoon neutral vegetable oil (such as canola or avocado oil)
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce alternative (e.g., soy sauce or liquid aminos)
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Sauté the garlic, onion, and ginger until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the green jackfruit to the pot and stir to combine with the aromatics. Cook for another 2 minutes.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil.
Once boiling, add the green papaya slices. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook until the papaya is tender but not mushy, about 10-12 minutes.
Stir in the fish sauce alternative, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasonings to taste as needed.
Add the moringa leaves and simmer for another 2-3 minutes, or until the leaves are just softened.
Remove the pot from heat and let the soup sit for a minute to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve warm in bowls, either on its own or with steamed rice. Enjoy your Vegan Tinola!
