Ingredients:
Jackfruit
- 1 tin Jackfruit
- 1 Tbsp Brown Rice Miso Paste
- 2 Tbsp Tamari Sauce
- 1 Tbsp Maple Syrup
- 1 Tbsp Sesame Oil
- A little hot sauce
Tofu sauce
- 1 Tbsp Sesame Oil
- 20g dried Shiitake Mushrooms – rehydrate in warm water for about 3 hours
- 1 pack Silken Tofu
- 2 Tbsp Coconut Cream
Filling
- 2-3 Burger buns / 4-6 slices bread
- Slices of Cucumber
- 2-3 piece of Sushi Ginger, and/or pickled Gherkin
- 1 small pack seaweed nori sheets
- slices of vegan cheese (optional)
Method:
Frying the Jackfruit:
- Drain the Jackfruit, use your hands and pull the Jackfruit into small bite-sized pieces.
- In a large frying pan on medium heat add 1 Tbsp Sesame Oil, then the pulled Jackfruit, stir and fry for a few minutes.
- Meanwhile in a small bowl, add 2 Tbsp Tamari, 1 Tbsp Miso, 1 Tbsp Maple Syrup, and a little hot sauce, and mix together.
- Pour the sauce on to the jackfruit and cook for a further 3min or until the water from the jackfruit has evaporated. Transfer to a bowl and keep warm. (Save this frypan for toasting the buns).
Cooking the Tofu sauce:
- Add 1 Tbsp sesame oil to another frypan, and fry the rehydrated Shiitake mushrooms on a medium heat for about 5-8 minutes until starting to golden.
- Open and drain the water from the Tofu pack, and with your hands, crumble it into the pan and stir.
- Add 2 Tbsp coconut cream and season with 2 Tbsp Tamari.
- Take off the heat and place the sauce into the blender or food processor until relatively smooth.
Assembling the burger:
- Toast the bun / bread for a few minutes in the pan you fried the jackfruits.
- Spread 1/4 -1/6th of the creamy sauce on the base of the bun. Add a layer of nori sheet.
- Use your hands and place a generous amount of the jackfruits.
- Then the layer of pickled ginger, gherkins, and cucumber.
- Spread some more of the tofu sauce on the top bun, and you’re ready to go.
