This recipe was a hoot. Talk about making the most of the humble jackfruit. This one went viral on TikTok and Instagram and I had to try it out. I'd say it's fairly easy and beginner friendly. Definitely a good one to introduce your skeptical non-vegan friends/ family. I hope you try this one and if you do, please let me know!

If you still didn't know. Jackfruit seed also can be eaten. Dont throw it away, easiest way to eat it is just fry it and it taste better than peanuts.
I try to avoid frying at all cost for lots of reasons, but for stuff like this I will pan sear for a few minutes to firm up with minimal oil or just a spray, THEN air-fry to finish. Usually comes out awesome.
The Arthur reference was 👌
I'm neither vegan nor vegetarian, but I'm so obsessed with your videos. I love watching them, and because of you, I've put a couple of cans of young green jackfruit in brine into my Asian grocery food cart. 🤣
Yay! Thank you! I'm honored
Did you use them?
I also am not vegan. Vegan activist annoy me but These recipes are fun 😊
I picked up a can at the food bank but haven’t used it yet 😅
Thanks for doing the heavy lifting for us vegetarians/vegans looking for plant-based subsitutions for stuff we used to love. Always happy when I see a new video from you. You and Mark (Saucestache) have become my two go-tos for new ideas.
Thank YOU for the support!
In Medieval times lots of people were vegan. Not out of choice but because animal produce was simply too expensive. And it was hard to store because of the lack of refrigeration.
u can also use sparkling water, the carbonation helfs for a fluffy crispy light texture, vodka is also good for a bigger crunch( a splassh or 2)
The whole video was a Merle vs deep frying saga, and I’m here for it 😂 and YAS for bringing Aria in again
I loved ‘hey Arthur’ that theme song was very memorable I still sing it to this day. Love this idea. I’m not a vegan but still like these vids, keep up great work :-)
I find myself singing the Arthur theme song cause my tiny one is enjoying the show! Glad it has longevity.
I Love that you always make a recipe “the Merle-Way” and add your own spin on it👍😀
Thank you! Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't hahaha
Yes but It ALWAYS make a Good Video - and it’s why I love watching because it is Sooo Relatable and reminds me when I too experiment with recipes and it fails😉 -but we always learns something good👍
❤ Wow I just came across this recipe and I am sharing this with my Facebook friends, amazing love anything Jack fruit, oh I am a new subscriber to your channel, Watching all your Test and what's best from cheese to pizza, I love your personality and your positive vibes , I am a vegan going on 24 years plus , you're channel is a breath of fresh air to my vegan lifestyle ❤️ Thank you,Merie O'neal also love spotlight drop in tastes from your companion Again Thank you for sharing this 🎉
I'm terrified to deep fry. I don't know why. Love this recipe. Looks great!
It's your instincts telling you it's dangerous and your instincts are right 😂 not that you should never try it, you can just get burned real bad if you're not careful/prepared.
I relate to you so much
A pan of very hot, flammable oil.. what could possibly go wrong?
Same. I'm not good at it at all. I'm very comfortable in the kitchen for everything but deep frying.
@@Whatsername4224 To this day all I can think about is the neighbor's kid who spilled hot oil on himself. He was fine, but that was it for me.
Hey Merle! I was wondering if you could do some vegan shellfish recipes since I am allergic to shellfish but still weirdly crave it at times! Thanks. Also love your videos
That's so interesting!
I would suggest to look up very plain lionsmane mushroom recipes.
Not the easiest mushroom to find. But it has a shellfish flavour more then a mushroom flavour, just on its own without any seasonings beyond salt.
And the texture also isn’t your typical mushroom texture but more meat like.
I will add it to the list!
I’ve made “scallops” out of king oyster mushrooms & they were surprisingly delicious. Marinating is key though, otherwise they taste like nothing. Very convincing though!
psa kombu stock granulates are way better for making plant based things taste like fish than nori!! you’ll also avoid the soggy black specks in the finished product
I wonder about dipping it into Panko and then frying it! Also use smaller wrappers, and make “fish fingers”? And maybe maybe blending the ‘fishy brine’ together to make it easier to brine the Jack fruit.
Hey Merle, these recipes are so out there!
Can you do more vegan product reviews, or maybe make versions of 'the best vegan fish' to compare? Also id love some high protein meat substitutes instead of jackfruit
As someone who got called DW as a child, thank you for that throwback....
You can reuse frying oil by filtering it through paper towel in a funnel. 😃
Thoroughly enjoyed this recipe! Im not vegan but enjoy your videos ❤
I was in the middle of looking through Baldur's Gate 3 mods while listening to this in the background and I literally froze for 5 seconds in confusion hearing "Some of us enjoy Baldur's Gate" 😅Did not see that one coming, lol. And yes...yes we do, Aria.
You can be too young to remember Arthur?😭😭 Time is flying faaaast! (Love the new recipes Merle!)
I don't have a vegan idea, but I'd love to see you do a vegan version of those absolutely BATSHIT recipes from Chef's club or the pizza tortilla buffalo chicken monstrosity
never heard of this! I'm gonna do some diggin
@@MerleONeal David Seymour has a video on it, where it's this monstrosity of a food of buffalo chicken in a quesadilla which is then deep fried (your favourite) and then made a pizza on top. It's a beast of a food
Still haven’t tried jackfruit. It’s time
You should, it's our go-to for shawarma now.
BBQ pulled jack fruit with Bao buns and a spicy slaw is AMAZING xxx
Catching up on your videos cause I miss youuu 🖤
Arthur show song you were singing...."if we can learn to work and play ...And get along with eachother..." "Hey" lol
Mych Love and gratitude, superb videos m'dear.
Omg i just LOOOOOVE HER!!!!
💞💕💖💗💞💞
If you want air-fried food to be crispy, spray the whole surface lightly with oil before you put it into the air fryer.
Merle I commented on ur last video that I was too quitting vaping and I have officially quit!!! Stay strong queen it’s a bit of a struggle every day but we got this
I'M SOO PROUDDDDDD - Best thing I've done, I'm still staying strong. I believe in us!
I always wanted to say to you I'd love to watch the Story of your veganism, like the why and history of your decision to be vegan. Maybe you'll convince me to make some changes. I really would love a whole video just on this.
Young Jackfruit will be performing I Got Lemons on My Potholders live at Madison Square Garden this equinox!
OMG LOOK WHO DID SEAFOOD?! Merle, we're so proud!!
We got to get Merle some Old Bay
Yum
I loved this video.
Also, I quit nicotine too and had to give up alcohol for a while. I actually just haven’t gone back to either. It’s been 2 years 🎉
Congrats! ❤
My s.o. was just talking about how she thinks about your nicotine video a lot. When you mentioned it again just now she yelled, "you should comment for her to try [psilocybin] mushrooms!! With the intent to quit."
This is counterintuitive, but the vegan fish might turn out more crispy and less greasy if you deep-fry it in more oil. Using more oil for frying helps the oil to stay hot when you add food, which allows the food to cook faster, and thus it has less time to absorb the oil.
I’m not a vegan but I am into this.
That looks great! I'm not vegan but do like to have vegan and vegetarian meals every once and awhile. I will try this
Ahhh Merle, this looks AMAZING. 😍
it was prettyyyyy great
As someone allergic to fish, you best believe I will be trying this
Some people like Baldur's gate 3...yes!
merle i love authur i didn't know you llike that song hey what a wonderful kind of day
Sending love and positive vibes
Arthur! ❤
That looks amazing
Love our reigning vegan queen!! As a vegetarian, fish is probably the food I miss the most.. not all fish..some like Tuna etc and this seemed really enticing but I am also lazy af haha so... probably can't be bothered. Still enjoyed the video tho and yay Aria!! Bonus points!! ❤❤
Great video! Though your mortar looks rusted?
I remember you doing fish n chips out of celery root. As far as flakeyness goes, or just overall texture, which one is better???
How about a video showing just "naturally" vegan recipes? Idk if it's maybe uninteresting. Maybe just vegan desserts around the world? Love your videos, Merle!
The local food trucks use banana blossoms for 'fish"
I was like: "Don't air fry this, Merle. Don't... no, don't! Stop girl, you can still stoooop".
LMAO
I’m a simple man, when I see Merle post a video, I click.
Omg I have jackfruit in my fridge! Maybe I should try to make this!
You should! It's truly so delicious - if its fresh it'll likely be quite a bit sweeter
Ok.. old vegan here needs to learn new tricks: you spoke about the "chew" associated with rice paper. Every time I use it I feel like I'm eating a condom full of veggies 😅 WHAT am I doing wrong?! I tried air frying, then it shattered like glass.
omggggg IM NEVER GOING TO GET THAT IMAGE OUT OF MY HEAD lmfao - I think mayyybe you could experiment with the amount of time you soak the rice paper?
Should have applied parchment paper and spray with a light oil spray.
Dang I did not do nori sheets that might just be the key!
I would so eat this.
You definitely need to try and make fried jackfruit (the real food)
❤
You should try the Easy Vegans fish n chips recipe
Is that the song from Arthur?? Man I miss that show!
is there an actual written recipe we can use? - because i definitely want to try this!!
i really wanna try this now but i hate deepfrying
please make a video trying fysh foods!
Vegan calamari in the air fryer!
Not a knock against Merle at all, but I'd love to see creators making more high protein alternatives in recipes like this 😩
Girl, baking paper 😭😭😭
I wonder if pulsing the jackfruit in the food proccessor for a second would break it up? I need to try this!!!
it definitely would! I was just being lazy hahaha
Please do a video reviewing PlantYou’s recipes!!
I'll look into them!
I’d want to try this in a fish taco 🤤
YESSS
Thank you for singing the Arthur theme song lol
U Should’ve made some tartar sauce to eat with it!
Congrats on not smoking lovely 🥰
i need to know what race/class aria is playing in bg3 tho!
Arthur!
you know it!
Merle, why didn’t you use the bottom tray instead of the pan? 😂
It might look like a nice flaky piece of fish, I just cannot get it to taste even somewhat edible. I have tried so many times and the love of jackfruit I just can't get on board.
You forgot the chips!!!! 😞
lmfaoooo I totally did
@@MerleONeal Can you make us some chips sometime? Maybe the best air fryer chips ... in the world? Pleeeeezzz?
Was that the magic school bus theme tune? 🧐🧐🧐🤔🤔 xxx
It was the theme song to a show called Arthur!
Arther
Hi, Merle. I hope you're OK. There's something about you in this video that makes me want to check on how you are. ❤
Yo, but you need to drown it in salt & vinegar.
Had to fiddle with my account, lost all my subs. Guess who was my first sub fix? *finger guns* Love ya, girl!
Omg
Is ‘Send Help’ for all the hot oil adventures?😁
META
I guess it's a good thing Lizzie passed so she doesn't have to see this. This is highly offensive to Britain.
ARTHURRRR
You know it!
When I lived in the UK, I tried truly amazing vegan fish and chips, where 'fish' was made out of banana blossom. It was amazing and pretty much indistinguishable from actual fish (and I'm saying this as a pescetarian who tried the fish version alongside the vegan version). I actually even preferred the vegan version. You should really try it out if you can get your hands on that product.
Wow!!! This sounds like it would be yummy!
That looks awesome! I need to give this a try!!
Two variations I want to try: pushing the jackfruit mixture into ice cube trays (like small fillet rectangles, not the normal ice cube size lol) and freezing. This would get a more dense fillet, and be easier to wrap!
Or, blending silken (and medium firm?? Not sure) tofu and folding the jackfruit into the liquid tofu, then compacting into blocks again and freezing.
Not sure if either would work, but worth a try! Recently we got a deep frying machine thing so I don't have to deal with open vats of oil 😂😅
I think the tofu used should be of a firmer texture.
Alternatively, you can try using seitan, tempeh, mushrooms, taro or eggplant.
I'd start with packing it firmer even the way she did it - just push it thighter like a spring roll.
And DEFINITELY using baking paper when frying it.
I love your channel because it’s so realistic, you aren’t trying to be perfect and your cooking style is so relatable.♥️
Love these vegan recipes. Presented informally. I like that. I'm a newbie here. Subbed you. 🎉
Thank you so much! Welcome!
Oh she is just the best, you will absolutely love it here! (Spoken by a non vegan who is trying hard to eat more vegan/vegetarian options)
This may be a replacement for taste and texture, but what about nutrition? There is hardly any protien in this to make it a viable substitute. In fact the jackfruit coupled with the chips just makes it a carb heavy protein deficient meal. That's not mentioning the good fats that are in fish.
I honestly think this is dangerous and could lead to severe deficiencies if these are used as replacements for what was a protien rich meal.
I would use banana blossoms (the flesh looks like stingray meat), sparkling water and coated it with flour, then batter and the bread crumbs, in theory the dryish battter will fry better in air fryer, but really I would just shallow fry it
We have got to figure out a way to make this baked I can’t do oil. It literally makes me sick to my stomach but I would love to make some fish tacos with a recipe like this I’m gonna try and work on it!
Use butter instead. Butter is so much better than oil anyways.
If you can't do coconut oil spray, spraying the outside before airfrying might work
You've probably made this already, but jackfruit "pulled pork" BBQ sandwiches are SOOOOO GOOD! I'M not a vegan and I love them so much. Also - where did you get your grey plates? It's like a bowl plate, I love them!
Yesssss Jackfruit pulled pork is ELITE- plates are from the goodful cookware line
I am STOKED about this!! I've just recently tried jackfruit and absolutely love it. I'm always looking for new ways to use it and this looks SO good. Also, fish and chips is something I've really missed since becoming vegan. It's honestly one of the few things that I truly felt like I "gave up". That and cheese...yo, we need good vegan cheese y'all.
* Side note: I've found with jackfruit that it is worth the time to boil it in seasoned broth after removing it from the can. It helps to soften the hard center, break apart easier and takes away that "tinny" taste. I would also marinate this overnight like Merle mentioned.
Not me taking a break from Baldur's Gate to watch your videos only to have Aria reignite my addiction.
HAHA II'm just honored to have torn you away for even a second
WTF WAS THAT AT 9:01 ? WHO IS WHISPERING? WHAT IS THAT SOUND? IS THIS VIDEO CURSED? MERLE HELP
bahahha it's the audio from the video clip- so there's VO and then the actual audio- if that makes sense
@@MerleONeal oh!!! That makes sense now 🤣💙 thank you for answering!!! Mistery solved!
This woman steals my shirts!!!
