- STEP 3Add in the chopped jackfruit and water, reduce the heat to medium and cover the lid simmer until all water is evaporated, takes about 5 minutes.
- STEP 4Use a potato masher and mash until all the jackfruit and tie apart. You may also use a fork to "pull" as well.
- STEP 5Add 2 tbsp barbecue sauce and salt, mix and stir for other 7-8 minutes. The pulled jackfruit should be a bit brown, dry and curve up on the edge, even a few strands get a bit burnt.
- STEP 6Turn off the heat and 2 tbsp barbecue sauce, mix well, so all the jackfruit is well cooked and saucy.
- STEP 7Remove it from the heat and serve it on a burger bun with pickled cucumbers, tomato, avocado and green salad leaves.
