Directions
-
Wash the chokos under running cold water, peel them, and discard the core. Cut into cubes and drop into boiling salted water for 5 minutes. Drain and cool.
-
Cut the Nashi pears into cubes similar in size to the choko cubes. Squeeze lemon juice over the Nashi to prevent browning and combine with the cooked chokos. Set aside.
-
Heat oil in a wok over high heat. Stir-fry the beef fillet strips for a couple of minutes until browned. Cook in several batches if necessary to ensure proper browning. Remove beef with a slotted spoon and set aside.
-
In the same wok with the remaining oil and juices, add spring onions, garlic, ginger, and macadamia halves. Stir-fry for 1 minute until fragrant.
-
In a small bowl, combine cold water, corn flour, soy sauce, and chili sauce. Whisk until smooth.
-
Pour the sauce mixture into the wok. Return the beef to the pan and stir continuously until the sauce thickens.
-
Add the choko and Nashi pear mixture to the wok. Stir gently just to combine everything. Serve immediately, garnished with sesame seeds.
