Boiled Pork, Fuyu Persimmon, Pear with Peanut Sauce

….As soon as I saw the recipe, I was curious about the taste. The selection of ingredients was ingenious and it felt like autumn. I try to put seasonal ingredients on the table as much as possible. Sweet persimmon and cool pear were enough to get rid of the greasy taste of the pork meat. It was good to put it on the table as an appetizer. Also after boiling the pork and grilling it on the pan, that removed more pork meat oil. Boiling the pork meat needs time, but the process is not difficult. The result was good, was more delicious than I thought. This recipe is from @booth108kwon.
