  • Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the jackfruit and stir-fry until lightly browned. This enhances the flavor and creates a slightly crispy exterior.
  • Add the diced bell peppers to the skillet and stir-fry until slightly softened but still crisp-tender.
  • Add the steamed rice, chili flakes, black pepper, and mixed herbs to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  • Stir in the soy sauce, lemon juice, and salt to taste. Serve hot, garnished with fresh coriander leaves (optional).
