Teriyaki flavoured jackfruit is a versatile alternative to meat. The crunchy lemon marinated apples mixed with noodles and nutty peanut butter offer a flavour balance to the slightly sweet jackfruit. This is a healthy lunch option that my family love making.

INGREDIENTS:

Teriyaki flavoured Jackfruit ( I used Amazonia Tender Jack)
220g bag rice noodles
1 cup lemon juice
1 small red delicious apple
1/2 cup mixed crunchy sprouts
1/4 cup grated carrot
3 teaspoons peanut butter
1/2 cup crushed peanuts

METHOD:

1. Place half the packet of Teriyaki Tender Jack in a fry and pan, put to one side.
2. Cook rice noodles as per packet instructions, drain place to one side to cool.
3. Thinly slice apple and place in a bowl with the sprouts and grated carrot.
4. Pour over lemon juice and leave to marinate for 1/2 an hour.
5. Then drain, keep drained lemon juice for noodle dressing.
6. Put 3 tablespoons of lemon juice and 3 teaspoons of smooth peanut butter in a heavy bottomed pan, heat to combine don’t bring to the boil, once combined quickly stir through noodle mix.
7. Heat Teriyaki Tender Jack as per the pan instructions on the packet.
8. Divide noodles between bowls ( serves 2 as a main meal – 4 as a side dish).
9. Top noodles with a dollop of warm Jackfruit, sprinkle generously with the crushed peanuts and serve.

Left over Tender Jack Teriyaki works well heated in a taco shell with lettuce, fresh avocado, tomato and some rice.
