Ginataang Langka

Ginataang Langka refers to unripe jackfruit cooked in coconut milk. Although jackfruits are considered fruits, unripe ones have the same attributes as vegetables; this was the reason why jackfruit in this recipe is treated as such. As for the flavor, much of it comes from the salted dried fish (locally known as daing); I also like using shrimp cube to add more taste to this dish.

Try this Ginataang Langka recipe from Panlasang Pinoy.
Ingredients:
1 lb unripe jackfruit; peeled and chopped
1 large onion, diced
5 cloves crushed garlic
3/4 cup tomatoes, diced
3 to 5 pieces red chilies
3 cups coconut milk
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup fried dried fish (daing), bones removed
Cooking procedure:
1. Heat a wok or a cooking pot and pour-in the coconut milk. Bring to a boil.
2. Add the garlic and onions and cook for 3 to 5 minutes while continuously stirring the mixture.
3. Put-in the tomatoes and red chilies. Continue stirring to prevent lumps from forming.
4. Add the fried dried fish and cook for 5 minutes.
5. Pour-in water and allow re-boiling.
6. Add the chopped jackfruit then mix with the other ingredients. Simmer for 5 to 8 minutes.
7. Put-in the shrimp cube then stir to ensure that the ingredients are properly distributed. Simmer until the liquid dries up.
8. Transfer to a serving plate then serve.
9. Share and enjoy!
