Dragon Fruits (Pitaya) Enzyme

This is my second batch enzyme. The first batch, I'm using pineapple, lemon and brown candy.
But with bitter taste because I didn't remove the lemon skins. This time I have removed the lemon skins.


Ingredients :-

6 Dragon Fruits (Small)
5 Lemons (Green Type)
1.5 packs of brown candy (pean tang)
1 glass bottle

Methods :-

Wash all fruits, bottle, knife and cutting board. Wind dry all the kitchen utensils and fruits (about one day). To prevent moldy result. If with mold the you've to throw it away.

Remove the skins and slice the fruits. Lay the fruits in the bottle. I put the 1st layer with candy, 2nd layer dragon fruits and the 3rd with lemon. And continue the rest until 3/4 full. Put more candy on the last layer. Cover and put in dark place. On the third day you can see many bubbles. This shows the enzymes are active. You may open the cover to release gases.

Shake the bottle occasionally - daily or 2 days once. To prevent mold. Harvest between 14 to 20 days.

I've harvested my dragon fruits enzyme after 18 days. Here my results:-




I take it 2 tablespoons daily early in the morning. Taste good but my friends said without liquer taste and sweet. Next time, I will harvest it after 3 weeks.

I have read some articles that you have to mix 20 ml of the enzyme with water and drink it 3 times per day with empty stomach.

But I do not try it 3 times daily because I afraid I can't sleep at night.

Rice using thermo pot

Well as for my opening in this blog, I would like to put in rice which is the main dish.

Ingredients :-

2.5 cups of rice (for 2 adults and 3 children)

2.5 cups of water

Methods:-

First, wash and rinse the rice (at least 3 times / almost clear) and put in the water. Then, cook without cover until the water almost dry (about 10 minutes). At this time you can many bubbles. Then, cover and put it into the thermo pot . About half an hour later you may fluff up the rice and close it back again. It can be keep warm for few hours.

I like to use thermo pot to cook rice because the rice won't stick at the bottom. Of course save electricity and its healthy too.
