Soursop Orange Smoothie


                                                   


Do you realize that soursop is the most unusual and exotic fruit and that it makes a fantastic smoothie?

Durian Belanda is another name for soursop. Soursop or Durian Belanda is a fruit that has no resemblance whatsoever to the durian, a fruit that is commonly grown in Southeast Asia. Although durian has hard and sharp thorns, this fruit may have soft and short ones. How did this fruit come to be mistaken for the durian?

The Portuguese were the first Europeans to set foot on Indonesian land, and they were also the ones who, along with the Spanish, discovered the soursop in Central and South America. It was on their ships that the soursop made its way to Indonesia. Belanda refers to the Dutch, who would rule the islands for the following 300 years. That was how it was named Durian Belanda.

Soursop is a type of tropical fruit. It has no smell, and the pulp is milky white, sweet, tart, and juicy, with black seeds scattered throughout the texture of the pulp. Originating in the West Indies, this fruit has now spread widely over the globe. The price of soursop in some countries, Vietnam for example, is skyrocketing, providing farmers with significant income. Anyone who encounters soursop will be taken aback at first. It is just not possible to consume this fruit. Its hush is a light green, and the flesh has a creamy white colour. The flavour is sweet and sour and has an appetizing effect.

WHAT ADVANTAGES DO SMOOTHIES MADE WITH SOURSOP HAVE?

The wonderful fruit known as the soursop contains a medicinal value in its barks, leaves, roots, stems, fruits, and seeds. Despite having a hideous appearance, it has the amazing ability to prevent aging. It contains several naturally occurring antioxidants that maintain the body's tissues and organs in a youthful state and slow the aging process.

Soursop is sour and high in cellulose and dietary fibre, which not only increases satiety but also aids in the removal of extra waste from the body, lowers calorie intake, and has a weight reduction impact.

This fruit is good for you and, like other fruits, contributes important vitamins and minerals to your diet.

HOW DO YOU QUICKLY RIPEN SOURSOP?

You might occasionally not obtain ripe soursop. Unripe soursop fruit can simply be placed in a paper bag, sealed, and left for a few days. Ethylene, a gas that fruit releases naturally to aid in ripening, is an important factor in this situation. To make things go even more quickly.

HOW CAN I BALANCE THE SOUR FLAVOUR OF SOURSOP WITH THEIR CREAMY FLESH?

The creamy flesh of soursop is tart. When you seek a recipe online, you may find that some of them call for condensed milk or sugar to make the mixture sweeter, as well as milk or water to thin the smoothie if it becomes too thick. As you add more ingredients, the consistency becomes thicker. If you want to make the smoothies thinner, you can use oranges instead of milk or water.

Almost the entire orange is liquid. They are not like most fruits, which when combined into a smoothie contribute fibre and substance. When you turn on the blender, the oranges will instantly liquefy and change to a watery consistency. Of course, you can use an orange squeezer to squeeze the oranges. Know that adding an orange to a smoothie on the fly is more like adding water than anything else. The orange flavour is at least preferable to water or milk.

 

IS IT REQUIRED TO ADD WATER TO THE SOURSOP SMOOTHIE?

Smoothies are prepared with entire fruits in a blender and frequently include additional non-juiceable components like bananas, yogurt, or honey. Smoothies typically contain fibre since the pulp is kept in them and gives them a much thicker consistency.

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. The texture is somewhat creamy. Add a little water if the smoothie is too thick for you. The consistency thickens as you add more of the ingredients. For my recipe, water can be skipped when making a smoothie using oranges.

 

INGREDIENTS

500G of soursop

2 cups of fresh-squeezed orange juice, add more according to individual preference

½  cup of yogurt

 

METHODS

1. Cut the sour fruit into small pieces after peeling.

2. Put the pulp in a clean bowl. Make sure to discard the seeds after using a fork to separate them from the pulp.

3. Now that the pulp is seedless, mix it all in a blender with the other ingredients until it is smooth. If you would like it to be sweeter, you can add some honey.

4. Pour into two big glasses or jars and serve.

Ondeh-Ondeh in 3 flavour (椰丝球)

Today made a popular dessert in Malaysia, “Ondeh Ondeh”, a type of Nyonya recipe. It is also called “Buah Melaka” because it looks like the fruit of the Malacca tree. The procedure of making is easy. The flavoured glutinous rice balls have grated fresh coconut on the outside and melting Gula Melaka, or palm sugar, inside. The white, milky coconut shreds and little balls of various colours appear fresh and natural. and has a charming appearance. The glutinous rice balls, soft glutinous and chewy are determined by the amount of water and cooking time. The softer the rice balls, the more water and more time it boiled. We like our coconut shreds to be moist and crisp, the melted Gula Melaka to be rich and flavorful, and the texture to be somewhat mushy and sticky. It seems like the nostalgic flavour of my childhood is returning. In addition to the traditional pandan flavour, I have included instructions for making it with sweet potatoes and pumpkin. Of all the flavours of "ondeh...

Pandan Coconut Moss Jelly Mooncake

Half a year has flown by in the blink of an eye, and it's almost Mid-Autumn Festival. It is fall in October this year. I've tried quite a few of jelly mooncakes last year. So, this year I am going to share some of jelly mooncakes that I love. Making jelly mooncakes isn't difficult, and I'm always eagerly anticipating the finished product, because there are always so many surprises when I cut into it. I got the inspiration from an Indonesian dessert “lumut” pudding. Puding Lumut or “moss pudding is a type of jelly or jelly pudding originating from Indonesia, make with a mixture of agar-agar powder, eggs, coconut milk and sugar which is cooked until it forms a moss like mass. Today I am going to transform it into a mooncake.   Other than the beautiful moss from cooking and stirring the mixture. The white layer part that looks like shredded coconut which is actually made from the mixture of agar powder, fresh coconut water and coconut milk. Grate it after it is set...

Braised Pork Belly Char Siu on Stove

  Grilling char Siu is time-consuming? Yes, indeed!! The marinating and cooking steps involved in grilling char Siu might take a lot of time.   In order to allow the flavors to seep into the meat, the traditional process involves marinating the pork for a few hours, often overnight.   Additionally, grilling might take some time, particularly if you want that distinctive char. And also create a crispy surface and smoky flavor. You might say can make char siu, or Chinese BBQ pork with oven baking, or air frying. Oven baking produces an excellent crust and a balance of juiciness. Air fryer is the quickest way to produce a crispy outside and a soft within, although it might not cook as uniformly as oven baking. Today I am sharing a super easy stove top version. You even get a lovely sauce to go with it, and the results are just incredible. It lacks charred or roasted flavor of charcoal because it is cooked entirely on the hob.   Trust me, this method is definitely ...
