Main Ingredients- 1 Passion Fruit (Baekhyang-gwa)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
To keep your passion fruit fresh for an extended period, it’s best to store it in a cool place with good air circulation. If you have newspaper available, placing a sheet under the fruit can help regulate humidity and keep it fresher for longer.
Step 2
You can get an idea of the passion fruit’s flavor by its skin. A smooth, firm skin usually indicates a tarter taste, while a slightly wrinkled skin means it’s sweeter and ready to enjoy! Choose based on your preference for ripeness.
Step 3
When cutting the passion fruit, to prevent the pulp from spilling out, it’s helpful to first slice about a quarter of the way through while it’s lying on its side, and then cut it vertically. This technique helps contain the delicious pulp inside. Carefully cut it in half.
Step 4
Once halved, you’ll find the passion fruit filled with tempting, jelly-like pulp. Use a spoon to scrape out not only the pulp but also the white pith clinging to the inside of the rind. Mix this pith in with the pulp, as it also holds a subtle aroma and flavor.
Step 5
Now you can simply scoop out the well-mixed passion fruit with a spoon and enjoy! The combination of the sweet and sour tropical flavor with the bursting seeds creates a truly captivating taste. It’s also wonderful as a topping for yogurt or ice cream.
