Pour the yogurt into molds or jars lined with plastic wrap to help remove the yogurt easily, then pour a little boiling water into the steamer, place the yogurt molds on top, cover, and incubate for about 4 – 5 hours.
After that, place it in the refrigerator for about 2 – 3 hours before use.
Note:
- During the incubation process, do not disturb the yogurt; this incubation will help the yogurt ferment and develop a delicious sour flavor.
- You can also place the yogurt in a foam box with warm water at about 40 degrees Celsius, close the lid tightly, and incubate.
- You can pour hot water at about 80 degrees Celsius into a rice cooker, covering 2/3 of the yogurt, close the lid tightly, and incubate.

How to choose delicious durian without chemicals
- Choose fruits that have a strong smell, spreading over a wide area; these are delicious durians. Conversely, fruits with a light fragrance, non-distinct smell, or that cannot be smelled from about 1 meter away may be durians that have been chemically treated.
- When selecting, gently shake the durian or lightly tap the shell with a tool (knife); if you hear a “thump thump” sound, it means the durian is good and the flesh is firm. If you hear a “clang clang” sound, it indicates that the fruit is hollow, not firm, or has large seeds with little flesh.
- Choose fruits with fresh, slightly green, and firm stems; if you press with your fingernail and see sap coming out, it’s a good sign. Durians that have been soaked in chemicals will have stems that do not produce sap when pressed or have rotten, soft stems.
- Select durians with a green or light yellow skin; if the skin has a yellow powder that sticks to your hand, it indicates that the durian has been soaked in chemicals.
- Observe the spikes and choose fruits with slightly rounded, sparse spikes, indicating that the fruit is ripe. In contrast, chemically treated durians will have sharp, dark spikes with signs of blackening, bruising, and softness at the base of the spikes.
- You should choose reputable places, know the clear origin of the products, and buy during the harvest season from mid-May to July to ensure safety and easily find delicious durians.
