Steamed Pear with Rock Sugar 冰糖蒸雪梨

Just lately, I’ve been stocking up my fridge with lots of fresh fruits and I had these huge (Asian) Nam Shui pears which I love for they are sweet, juicy and crunchy. I also like to make them into dessert soup once in a while for the whole family to enjoy. So this time around, I steamed the pears with rock sugar and added some goji berries and red dates.  It takes only 40 minutes, to  steam this nourishing pear dessert.  This dessert is good to quench your thirst, treat dry cough (good for lungs too) and sore throat especially in our humid weather.   I steamed the pears for 60 minutes as I like the texture to be very soft, almost melt in the mouth type. The pear is very fragrant with the aroma of rock sugar and date after steaming.  You can serve it warm or chilled whichever way you prefer.
