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.

Dong Po Rou (东坡肉)

Dong Po Rou (东坡肉) – wine braised pork belly. It’s rich and savoury, tender that melts into your mouth. Traditionally, the pork belly is pan-fried before being braised or stewed for one to one and a half hours on low heat. Some of the recipes even call for steaming for an additional half an hour after stewing. It is very time-consuming. But as you are aware, I enjoy making recipes simpler without compromising the taste. You, too, I'm sure. Therefore, I skipped the pan-frying step and proceeded directly to braising the pork after blanching it, and then continued to cook with a pressure cooker. Don't worry; the dish's flavour remains unaffected. I'm hoping this simplified method may come in handy for your regular cooking. Trim off the edges of the pork and cut it into 3x3 cubes. Tie cooking twine around each cube. This will assist the cubes in keeping their form while cooking. If the pork that you bought is at the mid portion of the belly is ideal, there is a nice bala

Lazy dumplings for breakfast

  In our house, when the kids were little, this dumpling was the best breakfast option. Compared to traditional dumplings, this is considerably delicious, healthier, and easier. Having those lazy dumplings made and ready to re-steam for ten minutes as breakfast for kids or adults makes a big difference during the school weekday morning rush. My family will never tire of eating it every day. Family members will occasionally ask to have it made for lunch or perhaps dinner. The dumpling wrapper is the main ingredient in this delicious treat. I'm using store-bought dumpling wrappers since I want to make this dish as simple as possible. It was purchased from the market. It has a completely different filling than the pan-fried Japanese dumplings called gyoza. It has black fungus and scrambled eggs in it.   Egg gives a simple and nutritious breakfast choice. Black fungus has relatively high protein and fiber.   One thing good about this lazy dumpling is you don’t have to pleats along th

Osmanthus fried wings (桂花翅)

Whenever I went to a wedding meal. The first "Hot and Cold" dish, particularly the scrambled eggs with shark fin and crab meats, is always devoured by the diners. It turns out that it goes by the extremely lovely name of osmanthus Wings ( 桂花翅 ). Due to the propaganda to protect sharks. The restaurant no longer serves this dish with shark fins. In Hong Kong, osmanthus fried wings with sweet-scented osmanthus are a unique meal. You can find interesting names for their items on the menu if you ever pay attention to it. when you order something only to discover that it is not what you ordered. This meal is comparable to another one called "ants on the tree,” ( 蚂蚁上树 ) which is stir-fried vermicelli with minced pork. Originally, Osmanthus fried wings are not using real shark fins, but imitation shark fins which are replaced by vegetarian fins are made of gelatin, or you may also substitute with vermicelli. The scrambled egg looks like osmanthus fragrans, so it is called os
