Before mixing jackfruit salad with shrimp and pork, the ingredients are well done by being boiled or stir-fried.
The most important stage is to mix the jackfruit, shrimp and pork, with fish sauce, sugar, lime juice, fragrant knotweed, basil, chili and spices. The salad is topped with ground pepper and crushed peanuts. The salad will taste best when served with toasted crispy rice crackers. The flavours of all ingredients form a great harmony for the dish.
Expatriates always long to eat the traditional food of their hometown and jackfruit salad is definitely a must-eat dish for people coming back home./.
