Preparation

Step 1

Press the garlic with a crusher and mix with the tomato purée, mustard, smoked paprika, Kikkoman Soy Sauce, sriracha and chipotle sauce to make a marinade.

Step 2

Drain the jackfruit from the tin and shred it coarsely with a fork in a bowl. Add the marinade and mix thoroughly. Leave to marinate in a cool place for 30 minutes.

Step 3

For the coleslaw, mix the cabbage with the vegan mayonnaise, lime juice and pepper. Stir well.

Step 4

Drain the marinated jackfruit of excess marinade and fry in a pan for 5–10 minutes.

Step 5

Carefully cut the burger buns in half and optionally roast them in a dry pan. Spread approx. 13 g ketchup on the bottom half, then add a lettuce leaf, 150 g jackfruit and 50 g coleslaw. Top with the other half of the bun. Garnish with 1-2 g of the microgreens and serve.

Tip:

Adjust the marinade to taste – make it spicier or more tomato-flavoured, depending on your preference.
Be careful when buying burger buns; buttery options are usually vegetarian, not vegan.

This recipe looks particularly striking when served in black burger buns dyed with activated charcoal (available in the Food Service industry) and doesn't impact the taste.
