Ingredients
- 300 g Young jackfruit
- 2 Vegan chicken stock cubes
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Dried sage
- 100 g Plain flour
- 100 ml Soy milk
- Vegetable oil to fry
Seasoning mix
- 1 tsp Sage
- 1 tsp Oregano
- 1 tsp Ginger powder
- 1 tsp Thyme

- 2 tsp Salt
- 2 tsp White pepper
Instructions
- Make the boiling liquid by mixing in two stock cubes, two tablespoons of soy sauce and one tablespoon of dried sage with boiling water.
- Drain the jackfruit and boil in the stock for 10 minutes. This helps to soften and flavour the pieces. Leave to cool in the liquid until completely cold.
- Now to make the kfc style coating make the dry batter by mixing the seasoning mix with the plain flour and stir well to combine.
- For the wet mix add 3 tablespoons of the dry seasoned flour into a separate bowl and mix in the soy milk to make a wet batter.
- Now drain the jackfruit pieces and pat dry.
- Dip the jackfruit first into the wet mix and then into the dry piece by piece and place on a plate spaced out evenly.
- Heat up the oil and fry the pieces in small batches until golden brown.
- Serve up with your favourite dipping sauce and enjoy!
Notes
Frying- This recipe calls to deep fry the jackfruit but you may also shallow fry just be sure to space out the pieces evenly to ensure they don’t stick together. Small batches are best for this.
Flavouring the jackfruit- This recipe states to boil and drain but if you make this a day ahead you can boil and leave the jackfruit pieces to soak in the broth overnight giving them and even more concentrated chicken flavour.
