Comment préparer Pickled Asian Pears Wor Mei Lei

Peel, core, and wash 2 pounds of firm, ripe Hosui or Niitaka Asian pears. Pat them completely dry.
In a large glass jar (at least 2 quarts), combine the following: 1 cup white vinegar, ½ cup sugar, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon salt, 1 teaspoon five-spice powder, ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional).
Stir well until the sugar and salt are completely dissolved.
Gently add the pears to the jar. Ensure they are mostly submerged in the brine. Seal the jar tightly.
Refrigerate for at least 3 days, allowing the flavors to meld. The longer they pickle (up to 6 months), the more intense the flavor will be.
Before serving, remove pears and gently pat dry. Serve whole or julienned as desired.
