Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large wok over high heat until shimmering.

Add the minced lemongrass, galangal, garlic, and shallots to the hot wok and stir-fry for 2 minutes until fragrant.

Incorporate 1 can (20 ounces) of young green jackfruit (drained and rinsed), 1 large sliced red bell pepper, and 0.5 cup of green beans, and continue to stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until the jackfruit is lightly caramelized and vegetables are tender-crisp.

Stir in 3 tablespoons of fish sauce, 1 tablespoon of palm sugar, 1 tablespoon of tamarind paste, and 3 kaffir lime leaves (finely julienned), mixing well to coat all ingredients evenly.
