Ingredients

• 1 can young jackfruit in water, drained and rinsed (20 oz)
• 2 cups coconut aminos
• 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1/3 cup tomato paste
• 1/4 cup water
• 2 tbsp coconut sugar
• 1 tsp ground black pepper
• 1/2 tsp ground cumin
• 1/2 tsp ground paprika
• 1/4 tsp ground allspice
• 1 bay leaf
• 1/3 cup vegetable broth
• 2 cups cooked jasmine rice, or any other preferred rice variety
• 1 cup chopped bok choy
• 1 cup diced carrots
• 1 cup thinly sliced bell peppers
• 1/2 cup chopped green onions
• 1/4 cup crushed roasted peanuts
• Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Instructions

1. Prepare the adobo sauce by combining coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, tomato paste, water, coconut sugar, ground black pepper, ground cumin, ground paprika, ground allspice, and bay leaf in a medium sized mixing bowl. Stir until well combined.
2. In a large skillet or wok, heat 1/3 cup of vegetable broth over medium heat. Add the jackfruit and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
3. Pour the adobo sauce over the jackfruit and bring the mixture to a simmer. Lower the heat and let it cook for 10 12 minutes or until the jackfruit has absorbed most of the flavors.
4. In a large pot, combine cooked jasmine rice with bok choy, carrots, and bell peppers. Pour in enough water to cover the vegetables partially and bring them to a boil. Lower the heat and let them cook for about 5 minutes or until tender.
5. Assemble the adobo bowls by dividing the cooked rice and vegetables among six serving bowls. Top each bowl with jackfruit adobo, chopped green onions, crushed roasted peanuts, and fresh cilantro for garnish.
