Tewel, also known as young jackfruit, has many ways to be prepared at home. Any dish, no matter why, is delicious when prepared from it. Young jackfruit is very easy to get in my area, usually I get it for free from neighbors to make vegetables as a side dish at home. Well therefore young jackfruit becomes a mainstay when I will process anything from it.

Young jackfruit is cooked with chili seasoning which has a spicy flavor then combined with melinjo leaves. Well interestingly this dish is very easy to make but has a very good taste. Well as we know young jackfruit is often a mainstay menu as a substitute for vegetable meat. In fact, there are so many amazingly delicious vegetable dishes processed from it. And I tried almost all of them can replace meat.

This shredded tewel preparation is indeed very popular in my area, usually it is processed using additional anchovies or other animal products. However, I wanted a delicious vegan-based flavor because I was curious about the taste even though it was processed with plant-based products.

5 red chili peppers

Cut or shred jackfruit to a small size, now here it is recommended to cook jackfruit to cut the size smaller so that the spices are easily absorbed.

I am so happy that the tewel or young jackfruit cooked with melinjo leaves is ready to be served. This dish is spicy, if you don't like spicy I don't recommend you to try this recipe maybe even if you can you can compensate the use of non-spicy chili. Now this dish is very good eaten straight or even with a mixture of warm rice. In Indonesia itself this is a side dish to enjoy with rice during the day is very appropriate.

The savory, spicy, and natural sweetness of jackfruit and melijo leaves give it a spectacular taste. It's great to be able to enjoy this dish at home. And I am very grateful to have a kind neighbor who always gives me young jackfruit to cook whatever I like at home.

Young jackfruit vegetable is very common here in my place. It is very delicious. Every time we cook it, we have coconut milk, and I really love your recipe. It's new to me, and I add it to my recipes list. Thank you for sharing.

I once cooked a young jackfruit curry using coconut milk and it was as delicious as enjoying a non-vegan curry. You can check out my other recipes on branda thanks for stopping by dear!

Hi, that dish looks delicious, although I have never seen or tasted yaca, I have read that it is very beneficial for health because of its high content of protein and vitamin b and iron, ideal for a good lunch. Excellent friend. Regards

Wow, another name for young jackfruit is yaca, I just heard about it, we often use young jackfruit as a delicious vegetable for savory dishes in Indonesia. So delicious!
