The best fruit for dessert in this way is papaya, where the gentle orange juice naturally enters the tissues of the papaya flesh under the rising steam. After steaming it is quickly cooled, covered with plastic wrap and placed in the refrigerator, then removed just before eating. Upon entrance, you will surely marvel that summer is not really that hot. A mouthful of smooth, icy orange juice papaya playfully swirls around your tongue, and it's truly a penetratingly cool, refreshing summer!

Materials: 1 papaya (300 -400 grams), 4 oranges, 20 grams of maple syrup (if you do not have it at home, you can also use honey, condensed milk, etc. instead), coconut in moderation.

Practice:

1. Peel the skin of the papaya with a peeler, and then wash it under water.

2. Longitudinally cut the papaya in half with a knife and scoop out the black seeds inside with a spoon.

3. Cut each half of the papaya into strips about 1.5 centimeters wide, and cut out about 8-9 pieces of the whole papaya.

4. Place the cut papaya strips one on top of the other on a heat-resistant plate.

5. Peel and core the oranges, then put them in the food processor and squeeze out fresh orange juice. Pour the juice onto a plate, keeping the juice contained so that it doesn't spill.

6. Cover the surface of the papaya strips with a layer of plastic wrap, making sure to completely cover the entire plate with the wrap to completely enclose the contents of the plate.

7. Place in the microwave on medium heat for 3 minutes.

8. Carefully remove the plate from the microwave, lift the plastic wrap off the top, cool quickly and let sit in the fridge crisper.

9. Find another container and pour in 20 grams of maple syrup. If you don't have it at home, you can also use an equal amount of honey or condensed milk instead.

10. Let the orange papaya rest in the fridge for 30 minutes or more, then take it out and use a brush to evenly brush the maple syrup over the surface of the papaya bars.

11.Finally, add some coconut or other ingredients to the papaya bars as per preference.

12. Steamed papaya with orange juice is ready, keep it in the fridge and take it out before eating for better flavor and texture!

Tips:

1. This dessert was initially steamed in a steamer (method: steamer steamer, put the papaya strips in, and steam for 3-4 minutes), but it will be very hot if you use a steamer in the kitchen this season. So you can also like the method described above, in the microwave oven, the plate covered with plastic wrap must be tight, closed, the same can play the role of steam.

2. Before steaming in the microwave, the papaya strips must be neatly stacked on the plate in a left-right crosswise manner, so that they can be heated evenly.

3. Steam papaya time should be controlled, usually medium heat for 3 minutes; if the time is long, the steamed papaya will be bitter.
