Healthy Teriyaki Jackfruit Donburi with roasted peppers 

  • 1 sweet pointed red pepper (roughly chopped) 

  • 1 yellow pepper (roughly chopped) 

  • 1.5 cups Japanese rice 

  • 1 tin of jackfruit (~224g) drained and shredded 

  • 1/4 cup dark soy sauce

  • 2 tbsp brown sugar 

  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar

  • Small grated knob of ginger 

  • 1 tbsp garlic oil 

  • 2 handfuls of fresh lambs lettuce 

  • 2 medium carrots (cut julienne) 

  • 2 chopped spring onions 

  • Fresh coriander (optional) 

  • White sesame seeds (optional) 

Ingredients (serves 2) 

Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 200 degrees. 

  2. Cook the Japanese rice according to packet instructions (it typically takes longer than standard rice). 

  3. Place the chopped peppers in a roasting tray. Drizzle on some olive oil, salt and pepper and roast for 20 minutes.

  4. In a large bowl add your shredded jackfruit, soy sauce, sugar, rice vinegar, ginger and garlic oil. Mix well and set aside. 

  5. Prepare the rest of your raw vegetables. 

  6. 5 minutes before serving place the jackfruit and the marinade into a very hot frying pan. Fry for 5 minutes. The marinade will start to thicken and stick to the jackfruit. 

  7. Plate up your dish. Add some of the rice to the bottom of a bowl. I add dash of soy sauce over the rice. Add the jackfruit, roasted peppers, salad and vegetables. 

  8. Add your optional garnish ingredients. Enjoy!
