Ginataang langka is a Filipino vegetable stew built on the quiet, starchy foundation of unripe jackfruit simmered into coconut milk. The dish welcomes a roster of secondary players—seafood, meat, whatever vegetables are on hand—all unified by the umami punch of bagoong alamang and the sharp note of vinegar or chili heat. It belongs to the broader ginataan family, with cousins in ginataang kamansi and ginataang rimas that swap in breadnut or breadfruit instead.
