How is Jackfruit used in Thai cooking?

Jackfruit - ka noon - is a large tropical fruit with a sweet, complex flavour that tastes like apple, pineapple, mango, and banana all at once. Ripe, it's eaten fresh, golden and fragrant. Young and unripe, its firm, fibrous flesh pulls apart like meat, which makes it a natural base for savoury dishes and a popular stand-in for pork or chicken in vegetarian cooking. One fruit, two completely different roles depending on when it's picked - sweet snack or savoury main.
