Notes
*When draining, really press as much water out of the Jackfruit as you can before adding to bowl. This will really help with the final desired texture. You may press excess water out with your clean hands by picking up fistfuls and squeezing while still in the colander...it's will shred the Jackfruit at the same time. Another option is to layout a clean, thin, lint-free towel, place drained Jackfruit in the center, gather up the sides of the towel, then squeeze the water out of the Jackfruit through the towel.
