This recipe is from Isaan region where I live. We eat the jackfruit when it’s ripe and unripe. I remember we have a big jackfruit planted in a back yard. My grandma loved to take care of it. Even though she was already at late 80s, she still loved to move around to take care of the fruit and vegetables she had in our garden. Her jackfruit became so big, as big as a size of two basketballs, and we all were so excited.

I will put her photo here later, if I can find it. She was so beautiful at 95 years old. 🙂

I know spring roll is one of your favorites. It’s my favorite too and I’m going to have spring rolls for lunch tomorrow. It’s very easy to make but you may need to be patient. Make sure you don’t soak the rice paper too long because it will be not be flexible and get rip easily when you try to wrap it. When you leave it dry out, try to pull it apart gently. If the paper does not rip, then it is ready to wrap.

If you don’t like it fried, you may consider this.

Cut pork and cook in boiling water. Crush the pork until the meat gets soft. Mix it with cooked bean sprouts. Prepare ready-to-eat noodle. Now, arrange them on the soft and flexible rice paper. Add cooked shrimps, if you like. Add mint, sweet basil, coriander and lettuce. Roll it the same way as above. Cut the roll in to the right bite. 🙂

Serve with the same sauce as above. This one is known as Vietnamese rolls. We have it in Ubon Ratchathani, and Mukdahan, as I know.

I got the rice paper from Tesco and Big C shopping mall. It has round shape in green package which you can see through.

Have fun!!!
