MethodToast the nori is a dry frying pan on a high heat until it starts to blacken and crumple. Put the nori into the chopper attachment of a hand blender or a food processor. Grind until it is small flakes, put into a large bowl. Add the jackfruit to the blender or food processor and mix until it is flakes but

not so much that it becomes mush, put this into the large bowl. Heat a little oil, fry the leeks on a low heat until soft.

Do this with all of the mixture. Pour a thin layer of oil into a frying pan, heat till very hot, fry the ‘fish’fingers on each side till browned and crispy.
