Jackfruit is the perfect ingredient to make the most delicious vegan burgers! And today we are sharing our favourite Pulled Jackfruit Burger recipe. Canned jackfruit is cooked, shredded and mixed with a delicious satay-style sauce and topped with a mound of cucumber and spring onion. These vegan jackfruit burgers are a cross between a Chinese duck pancake, satay chicken skewer and a good ‘meaty’ burger!
Ingredients
For the Sauce:
- 4 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoon smooth peanut butter
- 1½ tablespoon golden syrup or agave nectar
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 2 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 1 garlic clove minced or very finely chopped
- 2 teaspoon sesame oil

- 2 (vegan) brioche buns halved
- 1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
- ½ English cucumber cut into thin strips
- 2 spring onions cut into thin strips
- 2 large lettuce leaves
Instructions
To Make Satay Sauce:
- Mix all sauce ingredients in a bowl until combined. Add more or less hot sauce depending on how spicy you like your food.
To Make the Burgers:
- With your fingers, or two forks, shred the drained jackfruit.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large frying pan. Add the jackfruit and Chinese five spice. Stir and cook on medium-high heat for 5 minutes stirring occasionally.
- Reduce heat. Add the sauce and cook for another minute to warm through.
- Lightly toast your brioche buns either in the oven (it will take about a minute) or in a toaster.
- On the bottoms of the buns, place the lettuce leaves, then add the satay jackfruit mix and top with spring onion and cucumber sticks. Add the top half of the bun and serve immediately.
