Who on /ck/ uses Asian pears? Any way to actually cook them or do you eat'em like an apple?
Pic related: this one is a ’product of Korea’ but I'm not sure if N or S. Since they're not being specific I figured it might as well just read 'this is a product'...thoughts?
Ive eaten them raw and I believe I've eaten them as part of a soup. Iirc

Boil until pears soften and chicken is thoroughly cooked. Serve with rice (preferably Jasmine long grain).
I believe you can replicate this with apples, but lighter varieties are preferred (granny smiths may be too sour). You can also add other veggies such as peas, carrots, and water chestnuts for a more filling meal.

I'd probably cook the chicken separate and add it to the soup: salmonella scares me. That or it'd be a 'Campbell & Pear' soup

I only eat them raw but they are the GOAT pear, nothing else compares (as long as you take off the skins)

Do it how you prefer ( I'm the same way actually). I didn't put in specific instructions or measurements.
