Aiyu Jelly

Last month, August 27th, I went for my vacation, I staredt my journey from the early morning, my whole family, that's me, my husband and my daughter, we went for our breakfast, so what's we ate? We ordered abalone noodle soup and a glass of aiyu jelly with lime juice and honey. Here i want to talk about this AiYu Jelly, so what is AiYu Jelly, what it's look like? I bought my aiyu jelly in can.

So how the aiyu jelly make? It is make from aiyu seeds. Here I find this recipe called Mango Yakult with aiyu jelly and basil seeds, you can see what the aiyu seeds look like.

3 Peas Cafe: How to Make Aiyu Jelly: Aiyu jelly is made from the seeds of the aiyu fruit, which exude a gelling substance when immersed in water. It is a popular summertime item...

 Adapted from 3 Peas Cafe

Ingredients:
aiyu seeds
cotton sack and string
water, 2500 cc for 1 heaping handful of seeds

Directions:
! Important !
Make absolutely sure there is no oil residue on any of the materials you are using, this will cause the gel to fail.
Wash your hands very well, if you have sensitive skin wear food-safe gloves.
Do not add any sugar to the jelly before it sets
Do not use distilled water; normal drinking water will suffice.

1. Place the seeds in the cotton sack and tie it very securely shut.
2. Let the seeds soak in the water for 5 minutes.
3. Start to massage the sack. It will feel kind of like a gel stress-ball. Hold the end tightly shut while squeezing and massaging. A golden gel will be exuded.
4. Continue to massage the sack until no more of the gel is exuded -- it will start to feel grainy in your hand instead of soft and squishy. This takes about 10-20 minutes for 2500 cc of water.
5. Cover the jelly and place in the fridge for several hours to set.
6. Do not cut the jelly until you are going to serve, this reduces the amount of water that 'leaks' from the jelly as it sits. The jelly can be stored as is, or covered with honey-lime water (see recipe below).

Honey-Lime Water for Aiyu
Add more or less depending on your taste. I prefer it quite tart.

In a saucepan, combine:
3 cups water
1/4-1/3 cup honey
Juice of 2 limes
Heat and stir until honey is completely dissolved. Cool and store in the fridge.

Serve chilled with aiyu jelly.

The Whole Life Nutrition Kitchen: Creamy Summer Zucchini Soup

The Whole Life Nutrition Kitchen: Creamy Summer Zucchini Soup: This creamy, refreshing soup is a great way to use up all of that zucchini growing in your garden! Or, perhaps you bought too much from the...

2 to 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 to 4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon ground cumin
8 to 10 cups chopped zucchini (about 5 to 6 medium zukes)
6 tablespoons uncooked white rice
8 cups chicken stock or vegetable stock
1 bunch cilantro, coarsely chopped
2 to 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
sea salt or Herbamare to taste

Heat a 6 to 8-quart pot over medium heat. Add the olive oil, then the onion and saute for 5 to 10 minutes or until onion softens and is beginning to change color. Add garlic and cumin and saute a minute more. Then add chopped zucchini, white rice, and chicken stock. Cover and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes or until zucchini is tender and rice is cooked.

Add cilantro and lemon juice to the pot. Remove from heat and puree in your blender or Vita-Mix in batches. I like to toss in the whole bunch of cilantro to one of the batches after I have already pureed it some. This way the cilantro doesn't totally break down while you are pureeing the soup. Pour soup into another clean pot or bowl, stir batches together, and taste. If it needs a flavor boost, add Herbamare or sea salt to taste. Source: www.NourishingMeals.com
