Sweet soy & ginger poached pears
Elegant pears meet sweet soy and a gingery kick—poached gently in syrup and served warm with crème fraîche for a soft, balanced dessert that’s both understated and satisfying.
Preparation
Step 1
120 ml water – 60 g sugar – 2 tbsp Kikkoman Sauce for Rice - sweet – 2 g grated ginger – ½ g chilli flakes – 1 tsp lemon juice
Add the water, sugar, Kikkoman Sauce for Rice, ginger, chilli flakes and lemon juice to a pot. Bring to the boil and stir until the sugar dissolves.
Step 2
2 pears, peeled, quartered and cored
Add the pears to the sugar sauce and simmer for 15-20 minutes until they are soft but still slightly firm. Gently turn the pears several times while cooking. Remove them from the syrup and set aside. Increase the heat and cook the syrup for another 5-10 minutes until it thickens.
Step 3
2 tsp crème fraîche
Serve the pears while still warm. Pour the syrup over them, garnish with the mint leaves and top each portion with a teaspoon of crème fraîche.
Tip:
For a deeper flavour, simmer the pears a little longer until soft and well infused with the sauce.
