Slow Cooker Jackfruit Tom Kha Gai Recipe

Have you cooked with  jackfruit yet?

It's the perfect substitution for shredded chicken in some of your old family recipes.

Make sure to use young jackfruit in brine or water - not ripe or in syrup!

DO NOT USE RIPE JACKFRUIT!

Ripe jackfruit is a great treat that actually taste like juicy fruit gum. Great for a snack - but not a savory recipe!

No galanga? In a pinch you could use ginger to replace it.
