Ingredients
Directions
Heat a wok or a large saucepan over medium-high heat, add the avocado oil, if using and shredded jackfruit, and sauté for 2–3 minutes or until the jackfruit softens.
Remove the jackfruit from the pan and set aside. Reduce the heat to medium, add the curry paste, water, maple syrup, and coconut aminos. Mix until well combined and bring to a simmer, about 1–2 minutes. Add the lime leaves and cook for a few minutes more.
Return the jackfruit to the pan and mix until the jackfruit is well covered, you may need to add 1 tablespoon of water or vegetable broth to loosen up the sauce. Cook the jackfruit with the sauce for 1–2 minutes, then add the green beans.
Toss the green beans and jackfruit together, cover with a lid, and steam until the green beans are soft with a bite about 5–8 minutes. If you notice the jackfruit is sticking, add one more tablespoon of water or vegetable broth.
Once the green beans have softened remove them from the heat, taste for seasoning, and adjust to your liking.
Serve over brown rice or your favorite whole grain of choice.
Chef's Notes
Substitutions
In place of jackfruit try tofu, tempeh, or your favorite plant-based protein.
In place of fresh makrut lime leaves use 1 to 1 ½ tsp of dried leaves.
In place of green beans try sugar snap peas.
Finding Jackfruit
If you cannot find fresh jackfruit in the grocery store, look for canned jackfruit. It will say “young jackfruit,” meaning it’ll not yet be fully ripe, making it an ideal substitute for meat in recipes. It should also be canned in brine and not syrup.
Storage
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
