Balung Nangka is a hearty vegetarian dish that transforms young jackfruit into a tender, meat-like centerpiece. Despite its name—“balung” meaning bone—this dish is 100% plant-based, using jackfruit’s natural texture to mimic the richness of traditional stews. Slow-cooked in a fragrant blend of Indonesian spices, herbs, and creamy coconut milk, it’s a comforting, flavor-packed meal that’s perfect with steamed rice or as a savory main for any plant-based feast.
In a separate pot, boil the winged beans (or your choice of legume) until fully cooked.
