Avocado Orange Lemon Smoothie

Avocado is a well-known fruit. Protein, fat, vitamins, amino acids, and other nutrients abound in avocados. It is a fruit with high nutritional content, but unlike other fruits, it does not have an overtly sour, sweet, or astringent flavour.

Avocados are high in fibre and unsaturated fatty acids. Dietary fibre absorbs a lot of water in the stomach after eating, causing it to expand, increasing people's fullness, reducing their consumption of additional foods, and penetrating gastrointestinal motility.

For some people, eating avocado for the first time is tough. Avocados can, in fact, be juiced. Therefore, what juice is best for avocado? Is it possible to juice avocado with oranges and lemons? Yes. Oranges have a higher concentration of vitamins than apples and pears. They are also cellulose-rich. The combination of avocado and orange juice is sweet and sour, and it aids digestion.

Is it necessary to dilute avocado juice or a smoothie with water?

There are general instructions on the juicer, depending on the situation, on which way is the best for that machine. It is up to the individual's preference. No need to add water if the fruit already has a lot of juice. Avocados contain a lot of fibre, so even if you do not add any liquid, they will transform into a thick paste. The consistency thickens as you add more of the ingredients. Water can be skipped when making a smoothie using avocados, oranges, and lemons.

Why add lemon juice to avocado?

A small amount of lemon juice squeezed over avocado helps to balance its richness and also effective approach to stop oxidation which eventually slows the browning process, and leaves a sour note that enhances the flavor.

1 medium-size avocado

1 cup orange juice

2 tbsp fresh lemon juice.

1 pinch salt

2.In a blender, combine all the ingredients and puree until smooth. You can add a little honey if you want it sweeter. Add more orange juice and/or ice to adjust the consistency if desired.

Fried Taro Puff Dumplings (Woo KOK 芋角)

Taro puff dumplings or Woo Kok ( 芋角 ) are another must-eat snack when you go to a restaurant. The outside is honeycomb-shaped, and the inside is soft and smooth. Even if you go to a restaurant to eat, not every restaurant makes them crispy. And for that reason, I decided to learn how to make this snack. Someone once told me, because of the complicated workmanship, it is difficult to make at home. She advised me not to spend effort on it. If you know me well, I always like to challenge my limits. Today, I will show you how to make them! The fillings of taro dumplings must contain pork, dried shrimps, and mushrooms! The filling can be prepared one day ahead. The dumpling skin is made of taro paste. I am using Areca taro ( 槟榔芋 ). It has a tough, brown exterior with an interior that is white/beige in color with purple flecks. The ideal taro for this recipe will be more mature and starchier. The hardest and most tiresome step of the entire process is frying Woo Kok. A crispy crust w...

Steamed Spareribs With Sand Ginger （沙姜蒸排骨）

Steamed spareribs with sand ginger is a delicious Cantonese dish. The main ingredients are spareribs and sand ginger. Sand ginger, also known as galangal, is a spicy spice that adds a unique flavor to this dish. It is one of four types of galangals, a rhizome in the ginger family. Fresh sand ginger is paler in color on the inside and woodier and coarser in texture than standard ginger. As a result, it is more difficult to peel and grate. So, I just cleaned it with a tiny brush and chopped it with the skin. Fresh sand ginger might not be available at other places, so they will powder form instead. When dried, the flavor becomes a little less intense. I love how the fresh sand ginger tastes when combined with other spices or ingredients to create the sauce for meat. Apart from the ribs, I also add glass noodles and yuba or dried tofu skin. The ribs, glass noodles and dried tofu skin absorb all the sauce, enhanced by the flavor of sand ginger and oyster sauce. You can use san...
