Young jackfruit salad, originally a rustic dish with seemingly humble ingredients: young jackfruit, pork skin, peanuts. Surprisingly, over time, it has undergone transformations while maintaining its essence and has become a beloved 'specialty' dish. Firm and chewy young jackfruit combined with crispy fragrant peanuts and tender pork skin, all placed on a crispy sesame rice cracker, makes it a dish that's hard to resist.
Ingredients:
- Young jackfruit: 400g
- Pork belly: 100g
- Large shrimp: 100g
- Coriander, basil, roasted peanuts, dried shallots
- Seasonings: salt, sugar, fish sauce, vinegar
- Lime, chili
How to make young jackfruit salad:
Step 1:
- Blanch the jackfruit in boiling water, drain, and cut into bite-sized pieces.
- Wash and drain the fresh herbs, coriander, and Vietnamese balm.
- Peel and thinly slice the dried shallots, then fry until fragrant in hot oil.
- Rinse the pork belly thoroughly, then drain.
- Place pork belly in a pot of water with 1 teaspoon of delicious fish sauce and 1 teaspoon of salt to enhance the flavor. Boil the meat until cooked, then remove and let it cool before slicing thinly and finely.
- Clean the prawns thoroughly, peel, remove the heads and black veins on the back, then rinse again (leave the tails for presentation). For large prawns, cut them in half; for smaller ones, keep them whole.
- To preserve the natural sweetness of the prawns, it's best to steam them instead of boiling. Steam until the prawns turn a reddish color, indicating they are cooked.
Step 2:
- Prepare the salad dressing: Mix 1 tablespoon of delicious fish sauce, 3 tablespoons of sugar until dissolved, then add 1 tablespoon of lime juice concentrate and stir well. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.
- Place jackfruit in a clean bowl, pour in half of the salad dressing, mix well to marinate the jackfruit. Add shrimp and pork belly, pour in the remaining half of the salad dressing, mix well. Chop fresh herbs finely, sprinkle roasted peanuts on top.
This dish can be enjoyed with grilled rice paper for added flavor. With easily accessible ingredients like these, I hope you'll bring a hearty Central Vietnamese dish to your family.
