To all Langka lovers,you can find the langka young ones in the Can at Asian groceries,just take off the hard part of the vegetable that are already in chuncks,we found this in Chines stores in Canada and boy as we see those cans we take it all,in case it run outs of stock we have some or distribute it to our friends here in Canada,you know Pilipina loves our food. One way to cook this recipe without hassle is to put to all in the slow cooker except the fish. Slow cooker Otan Nangka(Langka veggie stew). In the slow cooker put,bunch of lemon grass Young langka veggies enough to cover up the sow cooker(It will shrink after its cook) 2 cups 2nd stracted coconut or half of a can of coconut milk Put in low heat when you are ready to go to sleep. Re-on those during your entended time to use for luch or dinner. Put the grilled big fish on top or enough that the stem can reach the fish for flavoring the veggies,salt to taste or patis and the cream of coconut the first extract ones,simmer on high for ten minutes and add the chopped mint and walla..... you just have the Etnic menu visayan version,don't remove those you bring the slow cooker right to the table,just put a serving spoon and let them help themself,saves you from washing more pots. I serve this on our get together Pot luck party,this will dissapear in a minute or 2.

Hello M.M and the Pilipino food Lovers,Yes i was searching for this Langka or Otan Nangka (Visayan version),thanks for posting this recipe,its one of my favorite. My memories of delicious food drives me to seach specially native visayan food. Heres our Otan Nangka recipe its the same procedure with yours MM,but when we boil the young nangka with the second extracted grated coconut we put a bunch of tanglad,(lemon grass) it will add a good flavor of the Otan,and instead of chorizo or dried fish,we put the big barbeque( sinugbang isda) on top of the otan as it simmers and add the last fresh fist extract coconut milk the last and sprinkle the chopped mint and cover,wow the aroma of the food soo good and when you eat those,soo delicous,you gonna sleep after eating those with rice,have a siesta after for 30 minute with open belly at the porch,those were the day's in my hometown.

Hi, ginataang langka is one of my favorite langka dishes! Instead of tinapa, my Dad cooks it with spicy sardines in tomato sauce to give a peachy-pinkish color. It looks and tastes a lot better too!

oh,my! this makes me hungry. This recipe is just in time for this lent season. unfortunately, here in Canada, I could only find green jackfruit in the can. It’s not white or cream colour when cooked. It’s a little dark(brown) and the coconut is in the can,too. Not as good as fresh. Anyway, just to have some taste from home, puwede na rin kahit de lata! Guinatang langka with shrimps! yum yum yum

We add bulad bolinao(dried bolinaw fish, instead of pork or soriso, sometimes any meaty dried fish)and lotsa ginger…lucky for us we can easily buy clean,sliced jackfruit at the mall grocery here,saves us time. Love to eat it with fried fish or tuyo…and lots of rice.

I sometimes add a few lime leaves on ginataang jackfruit and cut red and green chillies for colour. Lime leaves tend to be overpowering, so I just add about 2-3 whole leaves for a bit of added taste and novelty.
