Pickled Asian Pears Wor Mei Lei

Features:
    Cuisine:

    Made these using Bosc pears would recommend quartering or slicing and rice vinegar. The sugar and vinegar are well balanced to make a tasty treat. We found they made a good snack, ie appetizer. May try putting some with either grilled meat or a salad.

    Pickled Asian Pears (Wor Mei Lei), This is from Eileen Yin-Fei Lo’s The Chinese Kitchen, one of the finest classic Chinese cookbooks in English. In this reciped, she uses sah leh (sand pears) and recommends substituting Bosc pears, but I have done this with Asian pears, specifically Hosui or Niitaka. The desirable characteristic is a hard, crisp fruit. This is a wonderful appetizer or amuse bouche … You can either pickle the pears whole, or for an appetizer, you can julienne them., Made these using Bosc pears would recommend quartering or slicing and rice vinegar.
