Healthy cooking tip
Instead of pickling the pears with salt, I mixed them with red pepper powder and plum syrup.

Finding these ingredients in the US
- Chili PowderLook for 'gochugaru' (Korean chili flakes) at Korean or Asian markets. Crushed red pepper is sharper and hotter — use about half if substituting.
- Plum SyrupKorean green-plum syrup (maesil-cheong), from Korean markets or online. A little honey plus a splash of rice vinegar is the usual stand-in.
- Garlic ChivesSold at Korean and Chinese markets as 'buchu' or garlic chives. Regular chives are much milder — use more.
- Korean PearKorean pears are at Asian markets and many supermarkets in fall. For marinades, a Bosc pear with a little sugar works.
- SesameToasted sesame seeds are in the spice or international aisle; raw ones just need a quick toast in a dry pan.
