Ingredients
- 1 Korean pear, (490g / 1 pound), rinsed
- 5 g ginger, (0.2 ounces), (more can be added per your liking), peeled, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 dried jujube, pitted, thinly sliced
- pine nuts, (optional)
- water, (enough to simmer for 1 hour in a steamer pot)
Instructions
- Boil the water in a steamer pot.
-
Make a pear bowl and lid by slicing the top â…• of the pear to use it as a lid. Using a melon baller (or a small tea spoon), dig out the seeds (to discard) and flesh of the pear (to keep).
-
Fill the pear bowl with the sliced ginger, flesh of the pear, honey, jujube, and pine nuts. Close with the pear lid.
-
Put the pear into a deep bowl to catch any liquid overflow during steaming.
- Place the pear into the steamer and cook it on low heat for about 1 hour. Serve hot. (Can be served cold as a dessert. It tastes more like a medicine when served warm.)
