7. Enhance the Richness of Durian Flan with Small Cooking Tips

To make delicious durian flan, start by carefully selecting high-quality ingredients. When choosing durians, opt for ones with a strong, fragrant aroma, well-defined segments, and no deformities. 

Opt for durians with a slightly golden green hue. Additionally, pay attention to the stem; if it still has sap, it indicates the durian is fresh and will be exceptionally delicious. 

For steamed durian cakes, place a cloth under the cakes while steaming to absorb excess water, preventing droplets from affecting the cake's appearance. Be meticulous at this stage, and your cake will be visually appealing and incredibly enticing.
