I'll be showing you how to transform bland, slightly fruity unripe jackfruit into mouth-watering five spice meatiness that's a little sweet, a little tangy and super delicious.

In order to completely remove the fruity taste from the jackfruit just boil it for about 30 min, rinse, and the taste completely disappears
+Adrianna Johnson I'll try that! Thanks!
Adrianna Johnson is this for green young jackfruit that’s usually in the can, or are you referencing the ripe fruity jackfruit still in its shell?
You are legit the best vegan chef on youtube! Thank you so much!
Mary, I've been following your channel for awhile, and I absolutely adore you. You're hilarious and your recipes are so well researched. I thought I knew a lot about cooking until I found this channel! :)
... crazy how people cant just appreciate how great you are Mary! It seems like everyone is hard to please these days and if nots one thing, its another! Just wanted to say all these recipes are great and easy to follow. I admire your commitment to creating oringinal plant based recipes! Your diversity in the vegan YT world is truly unmatched! Always love your honesty and added tips and tricks! Keep up the content!
This looks incredible
Love your asian recipes!!!
+sariuca Thank you!! 💕 💕 💕
Great Stuff! Love it! The intricate method and pure love put into this recipe is so amazing! Slicing the jackfruit, the delicious marinade recipe and detailed bun instruction! Fantastic!
That looks phenomenal. It's good to see you back!
Thank you! Glad to be back! :-)
so glad to have you back Mary!!!! and am so obsessed with buns right now, I need to try making these asap!
Thank you!
I love all your unique approaches to vegan Asian food. I love it so this helps me a lot!
Always awesome!!!
Looks yummy thanks for another great recipe.
I love your videos so much! Such a friendly, conversational tone, and I love how you emphasize that it's okay to make mistakes and veganize things in your own way. I haven't tried any of your recipes yet, but I really want to!
Thank you!
Wow! Looks great Mary, I cant wait to try it
+MarioTheAlmighty Thank you, dearie! 💕 hope you like it!
Just mouthwatering. I need to try cooking jackfruit this way. Great recipe !
Thank you!
These look so yummy and easy to make 😍 thank you 💖
+Wafa Almohanna you're welcome! Hope you get to try them soon!
OMG these look freaking amazing. Gonna try them this weekend. Sharing.
I just made different type of steamed asian buns and realized that they're very similar to traditional dumplings made on the south of Poland. Which means hello tasty store bought buns for quick supper. Tbh I don't follow your recipes very closely. I adapt them to regional ingredients because I'm sick of eating the same things but at the same time I don't have money for specialized asian and vegan products. I love your channel because I get so much inspiration to experiment with my own slavic roots. I often feel that Eastern European and Asian cuisines are good match because they use a lot of different vegetables, mushrooms, spices and technics. For example I make my favorite polish pierogi, freeze them and use your technic of pan frying/steaming to make them instantly. It's a great tip!
That's so cool! Thanks for sharing!
just made this and it was so good!
Yay!! So happy to hear this, Patrick!
Mary's test kitchen is truly amazing!!!♥♡♡♥
Thank you! I hope you like it
I can't wait to make this i'm putting my family on a detox tomorrow they with eat this!!!!
Great recipe looking forward to make it!
thank you! I hope you love it too!
OMG this looks insanely good!
Thank you!
They look delicious! 😍
hope you get to try them soon
omg i AM IN LOVE WITH YUNG JACKFRUIT, i made BBQ jackfruit with soy curls sandwich yesterday and it was so good, i wanna try more jackfruit recipes so this s totally going on my lisssst YAS
+Lisa Reimi 🙌🙌🙌 btw, I caught your collab with thevietvegan and 👏👏👏👍👍 I love your stuff!
These look amazing!!
Thank you!
Thank you will try this! mmmmmmmm delicous
Awesome! Have fun!
My mouth is totally watering looking at these! I need to try to get some more jackfruit! I think your uses of jackfruit have been so creative: "chicken" salad, "tuna" sliders, and now this. So much more exciting than just "BBQ pulled pork" which tends to be the default for jackfruit recipes.
thank you thank you!
Oh my gosh you are making my mouth water as you describe this bun!!! I am surely going to try these out....reducing meat and eating a more vegan diet for me and family! Thanks for the video!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching :-)
Glad you are back and focusing on RUclips. For a non vegan like me watching your videos makes me wanna be one!
I love you so so much. Really. Your style, your voice, it's so nice. Thank you. And the recipes are actually very simple. You don't have to go and buy a bunch of special ingredients. Keep going
Omg! Thank you for this video! You saved my Taiwanese life! I'm a Taiwanese living in Bali. Just turned vegan this month. The GuaBao is the only thing I miss! Xie xie!! Xoxo
Bu Xie! Thanks for watching - I'm glad you enjoyed it 🤗
I made these last night and they were AMAZING!!! My omni friend also loved them :)
+internutz YASSSS 🙌🙌🙌
I have to make this! Thank you!
You're welcome!
Your voice is the best!
haha thank you so much!
Very interesting food
Thank you!
Ooooh will I make thissss.yummy!!! Good job my #1vegan idol!!!♥♡♥
These are so amazing!!! Thank you ;)
YAY! Glad you think so too :-)
can u try veganizing chile relleno plzzzzzzzzzzz
I made these for dinner last night, they turned out perfect! The was the best jackfruit "meat" I have ever made!
YAY!!!!!
Your voice over videos are just great - honestly I think it highlights the content better. Aaaand if it is easier please stick to the method - really looking forward to more.
Thanks for the feedback
As a Taiwanese, I think your pronunciation is just on point! And this looks amazing !!
Thank you!!!!
I'm really looking forward to making these next week. I made your Jackfruit Tuna Sliders last week for me and my omnivore friends and they went down a treat!
Awesome! Have fun with these :)
I ate that this week it was very good
NIIIICE! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
for the filling you could perhaps use portobello mushrooms as they have some chewy texture to them. They also look kind of the same when cut width-wise.
omg drooling
hehehe a nice steam bun can mop that up XD
Those fluffy buns looks like heaven to me!😍 I really enjoy bread and I like them fluffy! I think it often can be very hard to make homemade bread as fluffy as the bread from the store. I need to try these buns some day! Thank you Mary! 💚🌱👍
You're welcome, dear! As you keep making bread yourself, you will find it easier and easier. Soon, your homemade bread will be better than the store's!
Mary's Test Kitchen | Vegan Cooking I love your videos Mary! ❤️🌱
If I could not get jackfruit which I'm not sure yet if I like or not I would use shredded rehydrated Butler soy curls. Probably rehydrated in the marinade or some of the marinade with some water added and then add them all back to the marinade and add a few more marinade ingredients that are in the recipe. I cut them in half and shred them. They make an awesome chicken salad shredded and rehydrated in no chicken bouillon. I love these so I'm going to have to try to make them.
I just made this and I will make it a thousand more times
Good job my number 1 vegan go to!!! ♥♡♥
Love the jackfruit series! Your recipes have been so mouthwatering - you are really creative and talented! Have you ever used banana flower? I've just been reading about it - I wonder if it's like jackfruit...
I have not. That sounds really interesting though!
wow! they look amazing, just like (a vegan version) of the ones my grandma makes :)
+SweetPotato nice!!
I would use oyster mushrooms instead, it taste so good.
if you can't find Jackfruit, I suggest you try a young bamboo shoot, oyster mushrooms or Lotus root. the canned kind would probably be the easiest to find in an Asian market but if you get them fresh or dry just be sure to reconstitute them or boil them until they're soft.
Great suggestions!
You rock!!
aw shucks. Thank you!
This sounds awesome! I just tried fresh Jackfruit for the first time and I am completely addicted, it's like the best fresh fruit ever! But it's not always easy to find pre-sliced and I don't want to buy a whole one because it's the size of a baby LOL...
I also thought this recipe might work really well with mushrooms like shiitakes
Yes! I would try oyster mushrooms since they are my favourite and can absorb lots of flavour.
Mary, have you tried acupuncture and massage for your tendinitis? it worked for me, but it took several treatments of course
If/When you do a new tofu making guide, I'd be really interested in hearing a bit more about what to do with the byproducts, as every step seems to make a byproduct or two! (Yuba, liquid from pressing curds, and most importantly, all the okara, with special attention on how to prepare it into something edible and non poisonous, as I read you should cook it with a "wet" heat, also the logistics of what to do with so much okara, at what point could you store it for later, how long does it last, do you freeze it, or dry it into flour). I love making tofu (with your previous videos) but the amount of compost I end up with seems like a waste, which puts me off a bit!
+threeheadedpuppy Yes! Thanks for your input. I'll make sure to include those points.
Theres hundreds of okara recipes online. U can fill whole book or five with them. Fun and inspiring! U can also put it in pastasauses, make Birgers and meat balls, theow it n stews just by feel. Or in bread.
Daaamn Mary, that jackfruit looks SO meaty o_o they looks so cute and delicioussss
THANK YOU THANK YOU!
I grew up cooking and baking, that was back when you actually sifted the flour. Heck my mom still had that sifter when I went through her kitchen a couple years ago. I like the fluffing method better. It is much less messy and time consuming.
hahah sifting. AS IF! ;-)
Great! I tried these following the recipe and found them to be very flat and hard to separate. When I tried again I added baking powder at the point I was rolling the dough which really helped them puff up. Also put oil on one side before folding over which meant they actually separated without needing to cut them. Good luck if you try them!
That's a great point! I should redo this video honestly
@@marystestkitchen everything else worked great! Filling worked great too. Captions?
You made this a little easier than The Kale Sandwich Show did the other day. I particularly like that you didn't oil the bun on the inside before steaming.
I'm glad you liked mine but I think Rawch and Dee's are more professional. They used to have a restaurant!
I missed you!!
Iiiiii loveeeeee youuuuuuu! 😍
I noticed that you used the *entire* jackfruit pieces (excluding seed pods) and was wondering if the core was better used in this recipe, or just overall in general? I made a recipe with it and cut off quite a bit of the core and felt like I was wasting an edible part. Thoughts?
You are the queen of saucy seasonings, so I am VERY excited to try this--when it's cool enough here in Los Angeles to turn on my oven again!
Good catch! The core is a little tougher than the rest. So I don't use the core in my jackfruit sliders recipe because of the way that one is cooked (not very long). But in this recipe, it's treated differently and the core is cooked well enough to get tender. Next time you don't need the core in a jackfruit recipe, save them to use this one!
This looks absolutely fantastic. Thanks so much for the video. #torontolove
What if I wanted to keep the buns warm for a few hours for a party? Do you think i could leave them in the steamer?
I love this buns, definitely have to try them. We don't have an oven so this is great. Just one question, do you think I could fry the jackfruit instead of baking it?
Love the vid!
I haven't tried it on the stove but I think it should work. Please let me know how it goes if you decide to try it :-)
Will do! Have a can of jackfruit just waiting to be used :) Thanks for the response!
Can you review the Americas Test Kitchen vegan cookbook? It's available on Amazon as an ebook. Thanks, love your vids! 😊
Thanks for the suggestion!
Mary's Test Kitchen | Vegan Cooking Sure thing! Be sure to check out their website as they have three or so vegan recipes that you could try. BTW I absolutely love your aquafaba mayonnaise it's a game-changer and a staple for me now.
Hi Carol, I got the book and have cooked 3 recipes from it so far. Its a great book, and all the recipes have turned out better than expected! I find the book really goes into detail about what ingredients work and what don't. Such as aquafaba being the best egg replacer. I can see it being a good video review, there is so much to say about it.
The book is good, overall, I feel. The one huge disappointment was the Yellow Layer Cake. I followed the recipe carefully, but the cake was hard. It looked beautiful, decorated nicely, but I was so embarrassed when I cut into it for my boyfriend's birthday and saw some of our friends left some cake on their plates. Apparently I need to redo the recipe to see if it is user error or just not the best recipe. I have a culinary degree so it was especially hard to have served so many delicious cakes to bomb with this new one.
Sorry I meant to say : I will make thisss
you can put oil on the bun folds so they separate easily and left the bun a smooth surface
Thanks for the tip! Maybe I'll try that next time :-)
It looks so yummy!!! thanks for sharing that jackfruit ca be sustituted by tofu and I guess by tempeh too. Do you think I can make this buns with whole wheat?
I haven't tried with tempeh but that sounds good! I think you can do this with whole wheat but you'll need to reduce the amount of flour a little. Or increase the water a smidge. If I try it, I'll share my results! Let me know if you do too :-)
Azahara Gil When I make pizza crust, I use half bread flour, half whole wheat flour, I put yeast in the flour and set it aside while I make the pizza sauce, and while I cut up the toppings. When I put in fresh yeast, the flour has never not risen just for the few minutes I set it aside, AND, it rises more when the pizza bakes. I haven't made an all whole wheat flour crust, but making it half and half, yes, the whole wheat flour rises.
It looks so yummy thanks God I just ate my lunch 😂😂😂 Watching this video made me think that it will be amazing if you made the chicken shawarma using jackfruit 🤔 It has the perfect texture 😍
+Leen Sh Good idea!
uhhh this is the earliest I've ever been to a video😁
YAY!!! 🍪🍪🍪
looks absolutely fantastic, gonna try it out tomorrow!
Thank you Mary for the recipe as I have been wanting to make 割包 for a while. Can you tell me the flour amount in gram for maximum accuracy and consistency. My digital scale is in gram
I came into owning a bread machine. I use it make all sorts of dough for pizza, rolls and breads. I am going to try this recipe using the dough setting. That bread machine is a love - hate thing. I love the time it saves me, but hate the space it takes in my kitchen. I was eyeing that food processor you use to take the place of mixing it. It looks smaller and the trade off wouldnt be that much extra work....I think?
Maybe. It does a lot but it's also quite tall. It's too tall to fit nicely on my counter (under the cupboards) so I have to pull it out when I use it. The base is quite large for a blender. But of course, less footprint than a food processer + blender combined...soo.....?
Lovely recipe (and video)! What song is playing in the video background?
+Sean Lumly I think it's called happy mandolin. Available on RUclips creator audio library :-)
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have heard this song in another vegan video, but could never determine what it was! You're amazing! :)
And I sincerely find your recipe lovely! I would seriously make these this weekend, if I didn't already have a meal planned. But I will definitely make these within the month! YUM!
+Sean Lumly thank you! 💕 💕 💕
any suggestions on an alternative to five spice in this?
I know I will never make the steamed buns, but the jackfruit on a regular old roll seems like it would still be good.
True story. I ran out of steamed buns on the weekend and just put it on hamburger buns! :D
Hi, thanks for sharing your simple dough bun recipe.. I tried it but having problem with my dough when I flatten & rolling. It shrink when lifted it . Pls advise. Thanks
Try putting it on parchment so you can lift it with a spatula. Hope that helps!
I have always wondered why are bao so white? They have made with regular yeast and all-purpose flour. So what do we put in our bread recipes for white bread that makes it not so bright white?
Egg tart Mary! Egg tart! Please! >.
I am I am!
Yeaaaaa! Thank you.!>.< :D
i feel like a little bit shaoxing wine could be added into the marinade, I believe that alcohol adds more flavour to the final product!
Maybe! I only didn't try because I ran out!
damn mary savage with herself about the ginger
Mary, when I made this my dough ball didn’t seem to be as large and puffy as yours. It did rise and my buns still came out real, just small in comparison. Could it be my method of scooping flour? I know weighing would be best but I used the fluff, scoop and scrape method which I’ve heard is second best. Any idea how I may have goofed? Thanks! These were really delicious and reminded me of the food truck I used to work on in high school expect I wasn’t vegan back then!
You need to go by the look and feel of the dough rather than exact measurements when it comes to bread dough. Things like humidity affect the amount required. Still, I don't think this was the problem.
It's probably that you needed to let the buns rise a bit longer or in a warmer location.
maybe you should’ve let the yeast activate a little more first before mixing , or needed to proof longer
Daaaaang, I need those peanuts!
Right?! They're dangerously good.
Can I use pulled yuba instead if I can't find young jackfruit?
I haven't tried with yuba but it sounds like a good idea!
If it's a fresh raw jackfruit should I boil it first?
I haven't used raw so I'm not sure. Canned jackfruit is cooked so you can cook yours if you want to start at the same point as me. Good luck!
Can we use all purpose gluten free al purpose flour for this bread?
No sorry
Hey can I use whole wheat flour instead?
Yes but you have to reduce the amount of flour as whole wheat absorbs more liquid. Also, it will not be as light and fluffy. You may want to sift out the bran from your flour at first until after the first rise. Then knead the bran back in afterwards. This helps the texture be a little less heavy. But still...you gotta lower your expectations. Good luck!
Okay, now I don't know how I want to cook the jackfruit that I have. BBQ or 5 Spice style. Can't have the buns (gluten sensitive) but I'm betting this would taste good on a regular bun or in a corn tortilla.
Yes, any soft bun will be good. But I'm going to work on a gluten free steamed bun. And when I do, I'll be thinking of you!
Awww, Mary! Thank you!
Blunt Household You can shred canned young green jackfruit in water with a fork then toss it in BBQ sauce and bake it at 350 for about an hour and it's great on burger buns! It gets chewy with a little bit of crispy edges. For sauce I recommend Trader Joe's sriracha garlic bbq sauce.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👏👏
I heard that it is recommended to Boil the jackfruit in water 2-3 Times to get rid Off that tin and metallicy flavour of the jackfruit that comes in a tin?! what is your experience?
I haven't heard of doing that. And haven't had found any metallic taste in the jackfruit that I've bought so far. So I don't think that is necessary.
Mary's Test Kitchen | Vegan Cooking thank you for your quick reply! I tried it without cooking! do you think I would get the same results when I roast it in a pan instead of the oven?
Maybe. But the dry heat from the oven really helps to get a good texture. On the pan will be a bit different but I'm sure it can still be very good.
Mary's Test Kitchen | Vegan Cooking I tried it in the oven but increases the heat bc I had too much liquid on the Sheet...I shouldn't have left it unattended...bc I there was only charcoal left, when I checked in them! :(...but until then it smelled really good! :) better luck next time!! great recipe anyway!
Please make vegan jian bing!
ooo a challenge! :-)
Is this breadfruit or jackfruit!
Jackfruit.....breadfruit is a totally different thing
If i only knew that vegan can eat all these delicious food, i would have probably converted a long time ago. 😋😋 #asianalltheway
haha :-)
NOT cool when I have notifications on and it first notified me 22 minutes after you uploaded the video
awww boooooo
Have a 🍪 and feel better :-D
I'm experiencing that at least one channel I'm subscribed to doesn't show up in my subscription feed!
Does her voice remind anyone else of Ellen DeGeneres? By the way, I tried this and it was AMAZING!
+Yeon Ji Sung haha that's nice :-) I like Ellen! So happy you like the recipe too 💕 💕
The buns turned out AWFUL for me they didn’t rise the second time, I eventually put them in my oven at the lowest possible temp to give them a warmer place to rise even tho the first rise was in the same spot in my kitchen and there were no issues that that. Then damp towel I covered them with for the second rise stuck to the top when they were done raising there was 0 separation for the pocket I just had semi circles of dough that I had to slice once cooked oh and ofc since the towel stuck to the top they looked mangled af and deflated a bit. Taste was fine but I’ve gotten better results visually that are at par with taste from other recipes and I would definitely brush the inside with the smallest amount of oil before folding to prevent sticking. Lastly if the recipe again instead of rolling individual buns I think I’d just roll out a sheet of dough and punch out circles with a cookie cutter, would be way faster and all your buns would rise at the same speed instead of staggered.
can you open a restaurant?
hehe maybe one day
