Ingredients:
1 snow pear 雪梨
1 handful of fritillaria bulbs 川貝

Directions:
Cut the snow pear in half with the skin on. Remove the core of the snow pear where the seeds are. Stuff this space with fritillaria bulbs.
Bring the 2 halves of the snow pear together, into standing form. Place the fruit into a bowl.
Fill a saucepan with 2 ½ cups of water. Elevate the bowl in the saucepan with a stand. Cover the saucepan.
Turn the heat on high. Turn it down to low after the water boils. After 15-20 minutes or so, when the pear is softened, turn off the fire.
Drink the liquid in the bowl.

Discard the fritillaria bulbs but feel free to eat the snow pear.
