I've loved pears since I was a child. They are delicious fresh, but I wanted to use them when cooking both sweet and savory dishes, so I made a compote.Since the pears will be simmered, choose pears that are on the firm side. You can serve the compote with ice cream, chop it up and put it in yogurt, or use it for hors d'oeuvres, tarts and other sweets. Recipe by Usagi no Cima.

Love this salad in the summer. has a nice light feel and the flavors blend beautifully together. :-)

Asian Pears also known as apple pears or Japanese pears. They’re round instead of “pear-shaped”.This is the first time canning the Asian pears, they’re a bit different from regular pears to can as they’re not as acidic. #GlobalApron 2024

I found some miniature pears at an eco-friendly market. I thought they'd make a cute side dish...Use whatever pears you like. Well-ripened pears tend to fall apart though so maybe they're not so good.The caramel will be quite hot after heating so be careful not to burn yourself. Please adjust the cooking time depending on the size and firmness of your pears. If you leave firmer pears to steam for a bit after cooking, the residual heat will make them soft all the way through.

This is about 190 calories without a bun or sour cream. reminds me of meatloaf using chicken!

This recipe is really easy and only 230 calories for the whole batch! I got this recipe off Twitter but I don’t want them to get negative attention for this recipe.

With this year's scorching heat, I have a tendency to buy popsicles, but I'm concerned about the sugar content and our household budget, so, I tried out different homemade sorbets. When I used a overripe Asian pear, it turned out just like the popsicles sold in Japan! My child and I are both hooked on these.① The lemon juice is added to help sustain the coloring and also for the flavor. The lemon will detract from the sweetness of the pear, so be sure not to put too much in.② Even for bruised or dull Asian pears, this is a tasty recipe!③ The sweetness of Asian pears is tasty enough, but for those who prefer more sweetness, add more sugar.

This Chinese dish is yummy when we have it at the restaurant, but its high in calories... My family loves Chinese dishes, so I am trying to make low-calorie Chinese dishes that are tasty and filling.Adjust the chicken stock and oyster sauce as they have different tastes. If you want to make it healthier, use pork fillets which have less fat, or thigh meat though it may be a bit tough. Cook quickly to keep the freshness of peppers. Recipe by Heartful Kitchen Rei

I’m lucky to have access to a great Asian supermarket and I’ve been slowly working my way through their bountiful vegetable selection. Yu Choy (also known as Choy Sum, or 菜心) is a leafy vegetable that tastes a little like a cross between bok choy and spinach, with a slight bitterness. It cooks quickly and makes a great side dish.#Vegetable #SideDish #Vegetarian #Healthy
