Love ur recipes Anja. Just became vegan this year. Your channel is my fav bcos the ingredients in ur recipes are easy to find. I've tried ur vegan mayo, vegan omelette, banana/oatmeal smoothie and they're all delicious. I'm trying this out today bcos I just found sunflower seeds where I come from and I just got some fresh jackfruit the other day and stored them in the freezer. I know this sandwich is gonna be delicious. Thank you for the recipes. Looking fwd to many more on this channel❤️
I recently discovered your channel and I'm so happy! Your recipes are simple, the ingredients are easy to find and I adore the joy with which you do the tutorials. I recently became vegan and your recipes have made the transition so much easier. Thank you and keep cooking 😊
I'm from Singapore and jackfruit is pretty common around here. but to use it as tuna or meat substitutes is a strange thing that I've got to wrap my head around. I don't know if I'd like it, but will give it a try. My mum loves young jackfruit though. and the way we make it is cooking it with green curry. over rice it's pretty delicious.
I love your enthusiasm, and can't wait to try some of your recipes. My husband and I went vegetarian 4 years ago, then vegan two years ago but fell into the trap of eating tonnes of pasta, rice and vegan substitute foods of which there is an abundance in the uk. This has resulted in us both putting on so much weight. I also watched forks over knives and really wanted to go plant based but couldn't quite get there. Your videos are going to change all that. I am getting my shopping list together and taking a before picture just so I can let you know how things are in six months time. Thank you for putting all the effort in to making your videos and for making the recipes so easy to follow. Debra
I’ve made this a couple of times and love it. I can never get the consistency of the sauce/cream right, so I’m just going to mix it with veganaise instead. Thank you for the awesome recipe.
Going to have to try this. This recipe is going to become what people are going to eat instead of real tuna for two main reasons. 1.We are over fishing the tuna. 2. With the radiation from Fukushima pouring 100,000 gallons of radioactive water into the sea EVERY DAY SINCE 2011, all aquatic life is being affected. Thanks for the healthy sustainable alternative :)
great idea to use the nori sheet in the recipe. i'll have to try that. So far i've only made 'tuna' salad with chickpeas, but it reminds me more of egg salad.
I'm on a potato only challenge for the next few days but I am going to try this as soon as it's over. I always have a few cans of jackfruit in the house. You're recipes are ALWAYS on point! Perfect. Can't wait to try this.
This looks delicious! But maybe you should try boiling the whole Nori sheets and sea salt with the jack fruit. Or at least marinating the jack fruit with whole Nori sheets and sea salt first. The longer it marinates, the fishier it taste!😋
I'm a big time sandwich person and tuna sandwiches was one of my favorites. Since becoming vegan, that was one thing I really missed. I've tried mock tuna in the can and was highly disappointed, so I've been afraid to even attempt to whip up vegan tuna salad, but of course it's now 2016 and there has been a lot of creative plant-base recipes on youtube ... I looked at a few channels and found you. I was already subscribed to you, but missed this one. This looks and sounds most similar of what the flavor and texture I've been craving and missed. With all the crap going on in the ocean and so forth, I'm happy as being vegan that I finally found this. Thank you so much. It's late right now, but I'm most likely going to whip this up tomorrow.
im from réunion island and we used to add sweet corn into the tuna mixture with a lil bit of chilli . and then we put it in a piece of baguette with some cheese like gruyère on tome to melt in the oven. its delicious
I love your channel. I just became vegan a couple of months ago and have used several of your recipes. My husband and I enjoyed everyone! Can you do a mock chicken salad recipe?
Wow, the jackfruit really looks like tuna. I've tried mock tuna salad made with nuts. It tasted well enough, but I don't like using so many nuts. This looks interesting.
Looks Delicious!! I have always made the chickpea version, but I will definitely give this a try. Thank you for sharing!!😊 I have been following you for a while and I have made serval of your recipes. 😋😋 Greetings from Atlanta Ga USA.
yum . i think i can find this jackfruit in my local asian stores . i hear the trick is to rinse the jackfruit well n boil in clean water several times !! cant wait to try this , ty so much !!!!
You're lovely. I discovered your channel a few days ago. I've been vegetarian for some months and just recently decided to finally go vegan (had been toying with the idea for a while but giving up dairy proved hard). I've been binge watching your videos and they are great and you are delightful :) Keep on rocking!
Awww thank you for your lovely feedback. So glad you like the recipes... and all the best with your vegan journey. If you have any questions, please ask :-)
I just went to my local oriental market and they had everything I need to make this. I am excited to do it this weekend. I would like to know if I can put the nori sheets into my spice grinder instead of breaking up. What do you think of the end results on that. The jack fruit was 1.70 a can at my store. Online was 4 times that much in price
wow never tried jackfruit before but this recipe looks wonderful!! my dad loves tuna salad, so i'll have to make this for him next time im home. thanks for sharing!!!
This Looks amazing! Think I might try putting the nori? Sheet in the blender with seeds, though. And let it marry in the fridge overnight for sure. Thanks a million because I Really miss my tuna!
in canada, we have a coffee shop called second cup and they make a tuna salad with green apple it is so yum!! im going to try this with green apple!! :D
+CookingWithPlants If You cooked the jackfruit with lavabread & soaked it in lavabread water it would take on an even better taste of the sea & You can ever add lavabread to the sandwich to add even more of a sea taste. A touch of white vinegar just before seasoning or some fresh lemon juice would absolutely make this dish too & fresh dill is another good one with mock seafood as it is traditionally served with fish as is Dill. Just a few suggestions :)
I've also had this mixed with chickpeas and thought of adding a bit of finely diced onions or pickles (or some capers) and adding a bit of mustard to the sauce. I was wondering if you've substituted the nori with kelp powder before.
Hi, miso paste is new to me from your amazing recipe!! I have a soy allergy. Is all miso soy based and if so is there a sub for that? Thx so much, can't wait to try this!!!
what the hell... where do you get all these ideas? You're driving me creazy! These recipes are amazing and you're like Harry Potter, waving your magic wand and turning shoelaces in spaghetti, nut seeds into cheese and jackfruit into fish... well done. Keep up the imagination so we can get the most out of your ideas :D
Would this work as a tuna melt? Like if you took that mixture and put it on a bun with some almond cheese, wrap it up in tin foil and throw it in the oven for 10-15 minutes.
I would love to try this recipe today, but I don't have any jackfruit (or know where to get it). What do you think about trying this with hearts of palm instead?
I can only find canned jackfruit in syrup and not water. However, all the Asian grocery stores me sells fresh jackfruit. Should I use straight fresh jackfruit or still boil it first. I will experiment.
This is the first "vegan tuna" I've seen. Almost everyone else makes chunky hummus and then says, "Look! It's delicious!" I think, "I'm sure it is. I love hummus. What does that have to do with tuna though?" Job well done.
i am going to try this. i have tried the chickpea version, but I'm not fond of the texture. the flavor of the chickpeas were not bad, but the texture was too much. chickpeas are best used for hummus.
I Like Onion And Cheese Mixed In With My Tuna. Can I Substitute Your Vegan Cheese Recipe. I Didn't Catch What That Was That You Used As The Mock Tuna, What's The Ingredient From The Can? Thnx Anja
Jackfruit also works well as a substitute for pulled pork.
Ben Plummer you just changed my life with this information.....I tried it and you are 100% correct... thanks 👌
I think I need to try canned jackfruit. I bought Upton's brand BBQ pulled "pork" to try jackfruit, and it was awful.

That means the seaweed is contaminated as well?
Where did you find the information about the radioactive water?
@@yenomeerf you took the words right out of my mouth.
best toonah recipe, big thanks for making things so easy. i powdered up a bunch of nori an put in empty spice jar just for this.
+Snorthi Northi Fantastic!!!
Good idea about the nori as I have all my grains sealed in mason jars.
Snorthi Northi Toonah? I thought we called it Tu-no

Try Asian grocery stores or online
I wiil do that. Thank you.
This looks very tasty! Subscribed.
anja you're awesome thanks for sharing
SWEET!!
+0000000Lara Thanks
Must try this. Thinking I may add some chopped celery and finely diced red onion. Perhaps a finely chopped dill pickle as well.
I've also had this mixed with chickpeas and thought of adding a bit of finely diced onions or pickles (or some capers) and adding a bit of mustard to the sauce. I was wondering if you've substituted the nori with kelp powder before.
No I haven't
Foodie DNA your mods sounds good!
beautiful!!!!
What is brand of your. Blender? I really like the white one
The blender I use for this is a Tribest Personal Blender. Find it using my Amazon link: cookingwithplants.com/visit/amazon-com-tribest/
Love and Light to You!!! Great video !!!
+Vegan Ricky Thank you :-) x
Can’t wait to make this xox
Amazing job!!
i’m drooling 🤤 😍
Where do you get canned jackfruit at? And that fish paper?
+Donna James I get it at Asian grocery stores. The nori sheets are also from there. Or the Asian section of supermarket.
Wondering if you just put the nori in the water and let it simmer rather than crunching it into the mixture....would that work?? My hubby hates nori.
Thank you!!!!
+Accidental Vegan Glad you like it.
I love how quick and easy and tasty the things you make are!! A shirt microphone would help hear you over the noises a bit more though ♡♡
+Shaylee Feist Thank you. My latest videos have much better equipment ;-)

+Angelo Randazzo You can get it at Asian grocery stores or online. I haven't tried palm hearts so you would need to experiment :-)
Can I successfully sub wakame seaweed? If so, how much? I have that on hand, but not nori. Can’t wait to try this.
I'm not sure... I've never used it. It should work. Just start with small amount and then add is as needed to suit your taste.
What kind of blender is that? I like the small size.
I can only find canned jackfruit in syrup and not water. However, all the Asian grocery stores me sells fresh jackfruit. Should I use straight fresh jackfruit or still boil it first. I will experiment.
You are amazing, sabelo
Thanks
what did is the black ingredients you crumbled into to mix?
thanks to a post- I learned what it is fish paper
nori sheets
Looks yummy, have never heard of or seen jack fruit here in the UK. X
It's tasty :-)
you should add some of that egg salad to it, yummy!
This looks amazing, but where do you find Jackfruit and Nori?
+Joshua White Thanks. Asian grocery stores or online.
This is the first "vegan tuna" I've seen. Almost everyone else makes chunky hummus and then says, "Look! It's delicious!" I think, "I'm sure it is. I love hummus. What does that have to do with tuna though?" Job well done.
does jack fruit taste sweet like a fruit? I'm having a hard time imaging what this would taste like! is it savory?
+curlygirlcolleen In this recipe it is savory. You can get sweet versions of it. When it is young green jackfruit it is not yet sweet.
@@cookingwithplants kinda like green mango or green papaya -
unriped and not sweet.
Do you think you could use oyster mushrooms instead of jack fruit??? Would you have to cook them before?
+Scarlett Herrera It would have a slightly different texture. I would cook them.
What would you suggest in place of miso? I don't care for the taste. Thanks
Have you tried it with fresh lemon juice squeezed in?
What is jackfruit and where can you buy it in the states.
i am going to try this. i have tried the chickpea version, but I'm not fond of the texture. the flavor of the chickpeas were not bad, but the texture was too much. chickpeas are best used for hummus.
+Altovise Wright Enjoy :-)
Your videos are great, try adding a bit of cheery light music in the background to spruce it up a bit. Great creative recipes for vegans!
+Riana Das Thanks :-)
no music, please! Much better without jingle jangly unnecessary moozac.
I Like Onion And Cheese Mixed In With My Tuna. Can I Substitute Your Vegan Cheese Recipe. I Didn't Catch What That Was That You Used As The Mock Tuna, What's The Ingredient From The Can? Thnx Anja
Could you do it with Jicama...? I think most Asian stores have frozen jackfruit.
+Silvia Kratzer I've never tried it with Jicama. Make sure you use the young 'green' jackfruit not the yellow ripe version.
can you make a cheddsr bean dip for bagels
what can I use instead of miso... (no soy) ? thank you
Tahini and a touch of coconut aminos
I had to look up Jack fruit and see what it was, lol! I would try that :-)
+Madison C Iowa Give it a try :-)
With boiling the jack fruit, would boiling it with a nori sheet impart more of a sea flavour?
Maybe marginally... kelp might be better for a stronger flavour.
can you make a vegan version of Nutella? Or do you already have a video of one?
+Lowzenza I'll add it to my to do list :-)
Where can you get jackfruit online?
Which nori is best for a slight fish taste? I don’t like strong fishy taste, I used to love vegetarian sushi at yo sushi because the nori is mild.
I am so surprised!! I thought I was the first one to discover the "vegan item" to make food taste like fish! I even got a video on it! It's crazy.
+RAWLA lol glad you like it
ok is this out of the can jack fruit? , its so hard to find for me
is this better than using chickpeas?
