Thai Dessert: Durian Chips
ทุเรียนทอด Durian Chips (Deep Fried Unripe Durian)
Durians are a Thai fruit. They might be hard to find in your Asian grocery - or they might have a whole stack of them. They are huge - watermelon size or larger. They have spikes on their brown skin. They are smelly like the most horrible smell you can imagine. Their flesh is tasty like nothing you’ve ever had when they’re ripe. Hope you find one!

Durian Chips
(Deep Fried Unripe Durian)
Prepare:
1 Kg. Unripe durian (Sliced)
1 tsp. Salt
3 cups vegetable oil
Cooking Instructions:
1. Slice the durian into a very thin piece or think piece. The most important thing is to make it at the same thick size, so that when you fry them part of them won’t get burn first.
2. Separate the pieces into a group of same size. Leave it drain first. This way will help you save the cooking time.
3. Heat the pan and pour vegetable oil in it. Use medium fire.
4. When the oil is ready, fry the group of sliced unripe durian. Keep your eyes on it 
don’t let it burn. If it’s possible, flip the pieces every 2 breath. :p
5. I can’t tell how long it will take, depends on the thickness you slice the piece. Mostly, take short time. Pick up one piece and try it to make sure.
6. When durian chips is ready, remove from the pan and leave it drain on paper towels.
7. Sprinkle the salt all over and time to CHIM! (CHIM = taste)
Durian chips should be very thin when you slice. It’s made from the durian and maybe bugs took some part of it or big storm make it fall down from the tree before it get ripe.
It is one of my favorite snacks!
You can’t just eat a whole bag in one time, as it will make you feel sick of it. Never get sick from it.. However, it is not as famous as potato chips.
Rose Apples (Mountain Apples or, in Thai, “Chompoo”)
Rose Apples (Mountain Apples or, in Thai, “Chompoo”)
Thai food: Rose Apples…
These are one of my Thai food favorites… it’s not really just Thai food, but it’s all over Asia. I first had these “apples” when I was hiking in Hawaii. I was on a long hike and dying for something besides the water I had been carrying. I always carried about a gallon of water since I drank that much in 5 hours of hiking! There wasn’t much room for food.
I was hiking with a friend from the Philippines. We got to a stream and I saw these red fruits hanging on the tree - and thought that if I eat that fruit I’m probably going to hell… and I asked him what it was… he said, oh, “Mountain apple”. I said, HUH?
They were close enough to reach them. When he told me to help myself and eat until I couldn’t eat anymore - that’s exactly what I did. There’s something about trying a food for the first time when you’re over-the-edge with hunger. ANYTHING would taste good. Perhaps. But, these rose apples are incredible anyway. They are so refreshing - they have these juice cells that hold all this water. When you bite it and chew it - it is sooo refreshing - it was like jumping in a waterfall! Well, to me it was.
I’m not sure that you can find these in your Asian market. It’s likely that they wouldn’t be shipped from Asia since they are a delicate fruit and ripen very quickly. There’s a very short shelf-life on these, when they’re ripe they must be eaten quickly. They are not that sweet. The skin has this very unique flavor that I liken to “mint” of some sort… but I’m not that great with food tastes - (Joy’s husband here)…
These are a great after dinner dessert or a between courses snack - since it will clean your palate for the next course.
Ok - that’s my contribution to Joy’s Thai food blog - since she’s feeling a little ill tonight after we trekked up a waterfall this afternoon… Maybe the mosquitos, I really hope not…
