Grilled Durian
Rotate the durian evenly on all sides to ensure that all surfaces are grilled fragrant.
Grill until the bottom of the durian naturally bursts open.
Once the shell has opened, continue to turn the durian and grill for another 5-10 minutes. At this point, the outside of the durian shell will turn black, but rest assured the inside is not burnt.
If you don’t mind the fragrant burnt taste, at this stage you can continue grilling until you see the durian segments with a layer of golden-brown char on the outside, which is very delicious.
