Coconut milk for cooking  |
|
 There is an African yestaurant here that serves coconut rice. I don't like coconut itself but I love this rice and soups make with coconut milk. I have seen the cans of coconut milk at the grocery store and wanted to try cooking with it at home. Is there any special techniques for using this ingredient? Does anyone have a favorite way to cook with it that is simple for fish or vegetables or rice?

2.  chulce (290) | 10 months ago |  You can use it as a substitute for your liquid ingredient in most recipes, however, you will want to experiment with it before you serve it to family and friends.
I had to stop using coconut in general.:( I am allergic, but I have lots of great ways to use it.
If you like to make coconut cream pie, you can use the milk/juice to help give a bolder flavor in the filling.
As mentioned it is great in flavoring fish. There is a wonderful recipe online for coconut chicken where it calls for the milk/juice.
You will be amazed at how many ways you can use the coconut milk/juice. Lots of fun to you!

| Canellita (3258) | 10 months ago | I am not a pie eater but I like the idea of using it to simmer foods and I may try substituting it for water the next time I am making rice. Is there a difference between coconut milk and juice? | |

| 3. cynthiann (3083) | 10 months ago |  I use coconut milk regualarly in soups especially. What you have to do is to add the milk at the end when the soup is ready to be served and let it heat through for a few minutes. I love it in rice too. I have never used in any form whilst preparing vegetables though. I don't have any recipes for that. I do hope that many Mylot readers will help you firther than my effore!

| Canellita (3258) | 10 months ago | I will have to try adding some coconut milk the next time I make a simple clear soup. Maybe something with fish and plantains:-) | |

| Canellita (3258) | 10 months ago | Curries are unhealthy? I have never heard that before. Why is this so? | |

|
| Canellita (3258) | 10 months ago | I know it can be difficult to digest but I don't think I knew about the cholesterol issue. I don't really worry about my cholesterol. The levels are extremely good. | |
|
|
| eagle_f15 (1750) | 10 months ago |  Wow......for you. Actually I myself have not gone to check on my cholesterol level before. Am not going to check it but just be cautious (not overly cautious LOL!!) with food intake..........have a nice day

|
| Canellita (3258) | 10 months ago | My school has a partnership with a local hospital and they held cholesterol screening last school year, that is the only reason I know, lol. If I could get good at cooking with it I would probably use the coconut milk a couple times per month. | |

5.  kaplima24 (110) | 10 months ago |  I love cooking with a coconut milk because it makes the food tastier. Same with others, I use this in curry and other recipes for chicken, beef and pork. I use it also in making some desserts.

| playapal (804) | 10 months ago |  When I lived in Belize I learned to cook rice with half water and half coconut milk, also throw in a few red beans. It was really good served with chicken.

|
|
| Canellita (3258) | 10 months ago | Oooh, that sounds rich JBorgl! I will have to give that some thought. | |
|
|
| Canellita (3258) | 10 months ago | Playapal, thanks for this info; it's just what I needed. The restaurant puts limas and a couple other things in their coconut rice and it is delicious! | |
