In this video you'll learn how to make northern Thai jackfruit curry with pork ribs and tomatoes and lots of healthy greens.
Have you ever cooked with young jackfruit (or green jackfruit)? It's a vegetable you can probably find at your Asian grocery store, and in Northern Thailand it is used in this healthy curry with pork ribs and tomatoes. It's a water-based curry so there's no coconut milk, making it a light curry, much like a soup. The curry paste is the easiest paste you could possibly make. It's also naturally gluten-free, and if you don't eat pork, try it with chicken wings!
The curry uses wild betel leaves and climbing wattle (cha-om) as the greens, but if you can't find it, check out the blog post for more about substitutions. hot-thai-kitchen.com/northern...

We also eat pork with young jack fruit curry in Myanmar too. I guess you don’t really need to cut jackfruit into small pieces. As it becomes tender after cooking and jackfruit soaks up the soup which makes it delicious.. But we dear curry paste and pork first then add jackfruit and make stew kind of soup

In the Philippines, we cook young jackfruit (langka) with coconut cream (gata) and shrimps and the recipe is called Guinataang Langka and it's best if it's a bit spicy so we use green chillis (not so spicy) and bird's eye chillis (the spicy ones) 😊💕 We always have it with steaming hot rice because rice is life, we're Asian! 😂

[@marvinharms1891]

Oooh! That sounds delicious. I'm on the east coast of South Africa, and we have jack fruit growing all over. Gonna try this. Well, obviously my way with the ingredients we have👌

I've never cooked this before, but I've just peeled on and I'm curious how the flavor changes when cooked like this? Is it still sweet lol

Shrimp paste makes a world of difference in these Thai dishes. I made her laksa dish once without the shrimp paste and it sure was missing that funky savory note.

[@Peter-cm8vi]

What a great video. I must try this recipe. As an aside, my first experience with a young jackfruit dish was from Jogjakarta in Indonesia called gudeg. Wow, what a great dish. To me, it tasted like a potato curry so I didn't mind the core part of the young jackfruit.

[@NekaMusaraj]

Loved the jackfruit introduction never thought it could be used as vegetable when not mature yet 👌👌

[@fairysilva3404]

Can't wait to try this dish! In the Philippines, we also have a dish that uses young jackfruit and we cook it in coconut milk and chilies

Tong ho is a very popular, or even a staple vegetable for hot pot in Taiwan. We eat tons of it during winter time. We don’t have it now in May. But next time I definitely will try this curry recipe when I see tong ho.

Im going to try this and i think your grandmother and i would get along well i like cooking things until they are homogenized pretty much so all the flavors mix up well and you can take a damp towel and put over half your mortes and the onion will go to it instead of making you cry im liking these curry and sower soups ive been making lately i hope you continue to show how to make these foods

Fresh jack fruit has been used to cook with chicken as a curry dish for many many years in the villages in Asian countries like Spore, Msia, Thailand, Indonesia and Phillipines. They sell it in hawker stalls too.

In Hong Kong that type of "tong-ho" is called "皇帝菜", literally "emperor greens". By "tong-ho" we mean something that is from the same family but has less wavy edges and a stronger flavour. Both kinds are winter veggies and can be a bit more difficult to find in summer, so how about replacing them with Chinese celery, which I think has a quite similar fragrance?

[@PailinsKitchen]

That's not a bad idea, especially for people who like celery flavour :) Thanks!

Young jackfruit (langka in filipino) is usually cooked with coconut milk. I usually buy it in a carinderia which sells it very cheap. If i try to cook it myself, it would take a month to be consumed.

How timely that you posted this receipe, since 2 weeks ago I had a Jackfruit Curry at my favorite South Indian Restaurant for the first time. I loved the South Indian verion of this Curry and now, I really want to try your Thai version of the same. I will make your Thai version and then, return to this page with a contras and comparison of the two versions... in fact, I will purchase the South Indian version to compare side by side with your Thai version and report my impressions. I expect your Thai Jackfruit Curry will be different... maybe, but Jackfruit Curry vs. Jackfruit Curry... it should be intersting,. I Love your Cooking Channel...

[@glennsepulveda4856]

The broth reminds me of Nilat-an, a regional dish in the visayan region of the Philippines..It uses Jack fruit, pigeon pea (Kadyos)..pork belly, Batuan fruit (Garcinia morella) as a souring agent, Finger chillies, ginger, tomatoes and onions..🤔

[@muhammadalfath8432]

In Indonesia young jackfruit is also popular commonly as a side dish, in some region they have own style how to cook young jack fruit. In Padang-West Sumatra they cooked young jackfruit as a Gulai Nangka, we can found it in Padang Restaurant all over in Indonesia. In Java style young jackfruit cooked as a Lodeh Nangka, meanwhile in Jogjakarta we can found young jackfruit cooked as a Gudeg Jogja.

Hi pailin how do you like the misen knives??

[@cjinasia9266]

Love jackfruit curry. We eat it all the time in Chiang Rai. It is not normally so red as yours, more grey tinted like the shrimp paste. It is also not heavily chili spiced. No dried chilis at all but maybe a few fresh bird chilis in the broth. Think pork broth with garlic, shrimp paste and fish sauce. We don't cook it that long so it stays in big chunks that we can pick up with the sticky rice. Sawtooth coriander is a common green. The falangs in Canada do not want to play with Palao. It stinks like last years sweat socks if you can find it at all. Save it for som tam Issan.

FYI for South Asians the Betal leaves are also known as “paan”.

[@2eyedrav3n12]

Just an FYI, the betel leaves used here are wild betel leaves, which is a total different species, but in the same PIperaceae family. Totally different flavour profile, betel leaves taste much stronger than wild betel leaves.

[@PailinsKitchen]

Wild betel leaves used in this recipe is actually not paan. Slightly different species, this one will not have any psychoactive effects.
