Sugary Sukun CrispsI think these just taste yummy! Babe LY gave me not 1 but 2 breadfruits! They're called 'Sukun' in Malay/Chinese btw. A very thick, starchy and powdery texture but it has a rich taste to it. Something similar to a potato. But the fruit actually looks like some sort of a Jackfruit only with a smoother skin.
Anyway, I cut the Sukun in half and strip down the skin and sliced the sukun thinly, pretty much around 2 inch of length and wide. I only cooked half of it as a whole sukun can practically feed the entire Jon and Kate Plus 8. See below for further instructions. And yes, be sure to cut the core out.
Ingredients: Half of a Sukun; cut thinly (should look like diamond shaped pieces), Lots of Sugar, Salt, 5 cups of Cooking Oil; to be heated in a deep fryer with a large fire
Method: Deep fry the breadfruit cuts for around 10 minutes or until light golden. Remove and place in a large bowl. Scatter sugar all over. The more sugar the better. I reckon I used around 1 1/2 cups of sugar and a tablespoon of salt. Use both hands to mix, make sure the sugar adheres to the fried pieces.
Heat a pan and place 2 tablespoons of oil and stir fry the breadfruit pieces with the sugar and salt together. Add more sugar. Make sure this is done on low heat as the sugar may start to caramelise. Keep on stirring until most parts of the breadfruit are covered with sugar syrup like texture.
Remove and place on a plate to cool. At this point you should also sprinkle some sugar on top and mix with your hands once more before letting it cool. The heat from the crisps would melt the sugar away.
Makes a large jar (Horlick one). Make sure to try this cos I can't stop munching on them! Oh ya, you might get sap from cutting the sukun skin and it may create a sticky like thingy on your knife. Don't panic, just rub some oil on the knife and sponge it off with washing detergent and you should be good! Also, use a thin knife as it cuts through the Sukun much easier.
