Korean pears are very juicy, crunchy and flavorful. The texture of the flesh is not as smooth as something like a Bosc pear. Korean pears are delicious by themselves but are often used in Korean cooking to tenderize meat and as a natural sweetener.
They can be found in Korean markets and these days increasingly in mainstream grocery stores, often called “Asian pears.” They are in peak season in September and November.
Which to get? I suggest my second book, Maangchi's Big Book of Korean Cooking because it has the most recipes, but my first book has recipes for all the essential Korean pastes and sauces!
My monthly letter to my readers includes my recipe roundup, funny and touching stories, and photos of what you guys are cooking! It's delivered the first day of every month
