Steps

1. Drain and rinse the young green jackfruit. Remove the seeds and shred the jackfruit using your hands or a fork.
2. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, gochujang, minced garlic, minced ginger, brown sugar, and lime juice. Mix well to create a marinade.
3. Add the shredded jackfruit to the marinade, ensuring it's well coated. Allow it to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
