Detailed steps for cooking Crystal Pear with Rock Sugar
Prepare the ingredients and quantities.
Use a ceramic knife to peel the pear. The pear surface will not oxidize from peeling until steaming compared to using a regular knife.
Cut the pear in half from the top one-third.
Carefully remove the pear core with a ceramic knife.
Place rock sugar and wolfberries in the pear cavity.
Place the top part of the pear back onto the pear and secure with a toothpick.
Place the pear in a small pot with water (adding a tripod can prevent the bowl from touching the bottom of the pot).
Steam the pear over medium heat for one hour.
Remove the steamed pear and let it cool.
Eat more pears in hot weather.
