Method

  1. 1 Boil unripe jackfruit for 15 minutes, then shred it along the grain; shredded jackfruit will absorb the sauce better, just like meat.
  2. 2 Fry the diced tofu for 4 minutes until golden brown.
  3. 3 Mash the red fermented bean curd and stir-fry it with chopped lemongrass for 3 minutes to remove the strong smell.
  4. 4 Add the jackfruit to the pan, coat it with sauce, then pour in 200 ml of water and simmer for 15 minutes.
  5. 5 Pour in the coconut milk and add the tofu, simmering for another 8 minutes without boiling vigorously, then sprinkle with herbs.

With an appliance
