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.

Crispy Fried Noodles Meatballs With Sweet Chili Sauce

I don’t want to blow my own horn, but I’m determined to do everything I can to make you want to try these meatballs. These meatballs are coated with SWEET CHILLI LIME SAUCE. The sweet chili paste is the major component of making the sauce. Apart from using this paste to make the sauce for the meatballs. You can also use it for other dishes like stir-fries with French beans, spread over cucumber or bread, or sometimes use it to pair with fried noodles. The paste itself is sweet with some spiciness. I am using two types of dried chilies to make the paste, one type is mild, and the type is extremely hot dried chilies. Bear in mind that the smaller they are, the hotter they are. My meatballs contain glass noodles inside and outside of them. If you're not familiar with the idea of adding noodles to meatballs, let me convince you as to why it's a great idea. The noodles get crispy outside after frying.   So, you don’t need to mess up with panko or any other breading. Glass nood...

Salted Egg Yolks Fried Wings

  There are some leftover salted egg yolks after the Dragon Boat Festival. Salted egg yolk fried wings straight pop into my mind. Egg yolk chicken wings are really flavoring explosions, highly praised for its unique flavor, crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and tempting with their salty and fragrant taste. Other than the flavor that driving everyone’s insane. The key to this dish is to double fry the chicken wings until they are golden and crispy before coating them with a rich sauce of salted egg yolk and season them to make every bite full of rich taste and irresistible flavor. Since the fried chicken is mixed with salted egg yolks and melted butter, I must admit that this is a really greasy dish.   Eat this sparingly, then. I cut and divide my wings into mid wings and drummets. And I am going to give a shallow cut on them for better penetration during the marinating. Just oyster sauce, soy sauce and white pepper make up the basic marinade for the chicke...

Steamed Chicken With Cordyceps Flowers and Shitake Mushrooms (虫草花香菇蒸鸡)

Steam chicken is the easiest way of cooking with health benefits, and delicious flavor. Just simply marinate the bite sized pieces of chicken for minutes to obtain a basic flavor then steam for 20 to 25 minutes. That’s so simple. My husband loves steam food. This is due to the fact that steaming food is nutrient preservation, calorie and fat reduction. Additionally, it keeps the natural flavor to the maximum. Normally, I will add mushrooms, lily blossoms and black fungus for additional texture. For this recipe, I replace the lily blossoms with cordyceps flowers. It is a type of orange-yellow grass and it’s good for nourishing the lungs and kidneys, protecting the liver, nourishing skin and beauty, and improving immunity. It is extremely delicious when used to make soup or steam dishes! You don’t have to add water to the chicken, the marinade, chicken, and mushrooms release a broth-like mix of fluids that tastes amazing over rice. Are you drooling? This is an easy and delicious ...
