Steamed Pear with Rock Sugar
This dessert is good to quench your thirst, treat dry cough (good for lungs too) and sore throat. The pear is very fragrant with the aroma of rock sugar and red date after steaming.
Ingredients
- 1 China brown pear or Nam Shui pear
- 1 tsp goji berries - rinse with water
- 4 pcs rock sugar - add more for sweeter taste
- 1 red date
Instructions
- Clean and peel pear. Cut the top of the pear off and reserve.
- Use a spoon to scoop the core from the pear and place it in a ceramic bowl.
- Add goji berries, rock sugar and red date inside pear, and fill up water. Put the top back.
- Place pear inside the steamer under boiling water and steam for about 40 minutes until soft. **I like the pear to be very soft, so I steamed it for 60 minutes** Test the pear with a skewer.
- Allow the pear to rest in the steamer. Serve it warm or chilled in the refrigerator before consuming.
