Durian flower is a seasonal food. When the durian trees have produced flowers, it is a sign that the season is about to due in a few months time. It's heaven to eat but it's a hassle to prepare and it's best eaten on the same day they are collected from the orchard. Leave it for another day and it will get dull and doesn't taste as nice. There are many ways of cooking it. It can be stir fry with belacan, cook with curry powder or coconut milk. Drool!
Durian flowers before it was cleaned. We have to remove the anthers from the stamen one by one and do not throw the filaments. It is edible. After everything is done, wash it. Do not wash it before taking out the anthers as it will become sticky.
Taddaaa...finally it was clean. No more anthers. Only the stamens and filaments
Blanch it to get rid of the nectar
and cook it according to your own preferences!
Sorry, no picture of my stir-fried durian flower with belacan as we were all too hungry and dig in immediately after it was served on the table! LOL! Next time, perhaps.
