Ingredients
- • jackfruit (canned, in water): 2 cups, drained and shredded
- • zucchini: 2 large, spiralized into noodles
- • red bell pepper: 1, sliced thinly
- • carrots: 2 medium, julienned
- • green onions: 3, chopped
- • fresh ginger: 1 tablespoon, grated
- • garlic: 3 cloves, minced
- • soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free): 3 tablespoons
- • sriracha or chili sauce: 1 tablespoon
- • sesame oil: 1 tablespoon
- • lime juice: 1 tablespoon
- • sesame seeds: 1 tablespoon
- • cilantro: 1/4 cup, chopped

Instructions
- 1 In a large skillet or wok, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the grated ginger and minced garlic, stirring for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- 2 Add the shredded jackfruit to the skillet, stirring occasionally, and cook for about 5 minutes until it starts to brown slightly. Season with salt and pepper.
- 3 Stir in the red bell pepper and carrots, cooking for another 3 minutes until they begin to soften, yet still retain some crunch.
- 4 Lower the heat to medium and add the zucchini noodles to the skillet. Pour in the soy sauce, sriracha, and lime juice, tossing everything together until the noodles are evenly coated and heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
- 5 Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions, sesame seeds, and cilantro. Serve immediately, adjusting the seasoning with additional soy sauce or sriracha if desired.
Serving Suggestions
- • For a well-rounded meal, pair this Spicy Jackfruit and Zucchini Noodle Stir-Fry with a side of steamed edamame or a simple mixed greens salad. For an extra burst of freshness, top the dish with a squeeze of fresh lime juice or additional cilantro. To complement the spicy and slightly sweet flavors, consider serving with a refreshing drink such as a chilled cucumber mint water or a light green tea.
Storage Tips
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To maintain the texture, reheat gently in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of water if needed to prevent sticking. Avoid microwaving as it might make the zucchini noodles soggy.
