I just got a big bag of dried jackfruit from Costco. Cut it into tiny strips (kitchen scissors work great) then sauté it with BBQ sauce and a little oil. It makes a great, meaty pulled pork.

I don’t actually like jackfruit. To me it tastes like bubblegum. But the dried version of it has such a mild flavor the BBQ sauce overpowers it.

Crumbled-up tempeh makes a great ground beef substitute. Just season it like taco meat or something.

Re-hydrated dried mushrooms are pretty chewy too. I’ve tried snipping them into thin strips and mixing them into falafel patties. Something went wrong with my falafel though — it all fell apart.
