Your prep station before cooking begins

Units

Ingredients (0/14)

The finished dish tastes watery.

Drain wet produce well, add dressing gradually, and hold juicy ingredients until the final toss.

The seasoning tastes uneven.

Toss longer than feels necessary, then adjust with acid, salt, and herbs in small rounds.

Once jackfruit is prepared, pour your marinade in the bowl with the jackfruit and thoroughly mix. Fold in the rest of your chopped purple onions and scallion (1 stalk).

Ingredients are evenly combined with no dry pockets.

OPTIONAL

OPTIONAL (RECOMMENDED) STEP: Once fully covered, set aside and let sit to marinate for at least one hour. Letting this jackfruit marinate overnight is even better as THYME ⏰ is an ingredient! 😉

👩🏾‍🍳 Chef's opinion : This dish tastes best dehydrated. The texture and feel is transformed in the dehydrator, yet will still be delicious if paired well in in delicious taco with yummy toppings, or on a full dish of other food items, if you choose not to dehydrate.
