Steamed Flan With Ginger

5.0

(1)

Flan made with ginger being served on a plate.
Joseph De Leo

Tung still makes this ginger flan the same way she learned in Vietnam: on the stovetop—not in the oven. For this recipe you’ll need a stoveproof 9" metal baking pan, either a 12" steamer with a metal rack or a lidded wok or deep pot at least 12" wide, and a small heatproof cup or trivet.
