Vegan Jackfruit Bulgogi

(10)
"This is my #vegan version of one of the most popular Korean dishes. Bulgogi, literally "fire meat" is made of thin, marinated slices of beef or pork grilled on a barbecue or on a stove-top griddle. Here I used young Jackfruit, for its meaty texture, marinated overnight in the traditional bulgogi marinade. Cooked in on stovetop on high flame by adding just a hint of liquid smoke and vegan BBQ sauce to give it a smokey flavour - it's SO SIMPLE, you literally just have to throw all ingredients at once in a wok and it's ready in no time."
