What can I do with left over .... email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 92/100. MsTickle (8957)   ranked 165 out of 11,228 in cooking5 months ago

....coconut milk? Last night saw me cooking satay chicken. Normally, I use powdered coconut milk but alas! there was none in the cupboard. Luckily, I had a can of coconut milk. However I was only making enough for one meal and only used about half. Does anyone have a suggestion for something I can make to use up the rest please?

Please don't say to freeze it as I have done this and when I have done this before and thawed it out it is awful; it separates like it's curdled and the flavour is gone.

Make a batch of iced coffee with it. Or throw it into something desserty like a milkshake.


myLot reputation of 92/100. MsTickle (8957)   ranked 165 out of 11,228 in cooking  5 months ago

I'm not sure I could handle coconut coffee. I guess I prefer my coffee to taste like coffee.

I bet it would be excellent at the liquid in brownies. Would taste like a Mounds bar. Can it be used as part of the milk in pudding? You could make a frozen coconut cream pie (invite me if you do). Whip it up with vanilla ice cream for a coconut milkshake? Or make pina coladas (invite me for that one too w00t)


myLot reputation of 92/100. MsTickle (8957)   ranked 165 out of 11,228 in cooking  5 months ago

The brownies sound good, I will see if I have other ingredients. I've never had pina Colado, would love to try it. I doubt I have those ingredients for sure...lol. What is a mounds bar?


myLot reputation of 99/100. catdla1 (2705)   ranked 212 out of 11,228 in cooking  5 months ago

A Mounds Bar is a coconut nougat covered with dark chocolate. An Almond Joy is the same thing, but with an almond on it. I forgot that you probably don't have the same candy available there, but I bet you have something similar.
A Pina Colada is a mixed drink with equal parts of coconut milk, light rum and crushed pineapple. When I make them, I whip them in my blender with ice to make 'smoothies'.
If you have a brownie mix on hand, just substitute the coconut milk for the oil.


myLot reputation of 98/100. lilybug (15328)   ranked 4 out of 11,228 in cooking  5 months ago

Similar to a Bounty bar if you have ever heard of those. They are actually really good.


myLot reputation of 92/100. MsTickle (8957)   ranked 165 out of 11,228 in cooking  5 months ago

Yeah, I was wondering if it's like a Bounty. It's coarse shredded coconut in it's own liquid sugar wrapped with milk chocolate. Very sweet.


myLot reputation of 98/100. lilybug (15328)   ranked 4 out of 11,228 in cooking  5 months ago

I think the coconut in a bounty bar is a little more coarsely chopped than in a Mounds or an Almond Joy. I like all of them though.


myLot reputation of 99/100. catdla1 (2705)   ranked 212 out of 11,228 in cooking  5 months ago

I've not heard of a Bounty bar...good excuse to go look for one. thumbup Ok, if you still have your coconut milk, make a thick pudding/pie filling and stir in mini chocolate chips. It would be like a Bounty/Mounds pie, right?

My sister has made coconut rice before using coconut milk.


How about a coconut milk shake?


Ingredients:
1/2 cup coconut
1 cup milk
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tbsp - cream(optional)
Directions:
Blend all the ingredients in a blender on the "blend" cycle for 5 minutes and then on "whip" cycle for 5 minutes.


myLot reputation of 92/100. MsTickle (8957)   ranked 165 out of 11,228 in cooking  5 months ago

Coconut rice sounds nice too but I'm out of rice...good thing I have a shopping trip next week eh?

The milkshake sounds delish too. Mmmmmm

I have no idea, I have never used coconut milk for anything. I mostly just wanted to stop by and say hi, its always nice to see your pink smiling face.


myLot reputation of 92/100. MsTickle (8957)   ranked 165 out of 11,228 in cooking  5 months ago

add vodka to it?
that's all i can think of.
i'd never really cooked with the milk before.


myLot reputation of 92/100. MsTickle (8957)   ranked 165 out of 11,228 in cooking  5 months ago

I wouldn't think of adulterating the vodka! lol. I like my vodka straight from the freezer....maybe with one ice cube in summer.


myLot reputation of 99/100. scarlet_woman (8905)   ranked 196 out of 11,228 in cooking  5 months ago

LOL!
only think else i can think of is maybe in cookies or some kind of pastry.

How about making some virgin (or not)Pina Coladas. Pina Coladas are wonderful drinks. Here is a recipe just leave out the rum, and add a little cream to make the milk creamier. Here ya go: http://www.drinksmixer.com/drink8557.html

Here is also a nice recipe for Thai Peanut Sauce: http://recipes.epicurean....


myLot reputation of 92/100. MsTickle (8957)   ranked 165 out of 11,228 in cooking  5 months ago

Both recipes sound great. I make a dipping sauce with crunchy peanut butter, soy sauce and sweet chilli sauce....yum.

Hi Ms Tickle, there are so many uses for coconut milk. You can put the left over in your hair and cover your head with a towel. Let it stay there for few hours before shampooing. It will leave your hair soft and shinny. Normally I use to make VCO by scooping the curdled coconut milk and dry it in the sun. The oil will ooze out from the curdled coconut milk. I use VCO for my face and hair. Oh maybe for a quick fix you can make coconut jelly. Just boil a packet of agar agar powder add the coconut milk and sugar. Pour in a mould and refrigerate. You have a nice dessert.

myLot reputation of 92/100. MsTickle (8957)   ranked 165 out of 11,228 in cooking  5 months ago

My hair is already soft and shiny zandilol. I'm afraid I don't know what VCO is. Ialso have not heard of or seen agar agar powder but coconut jelly sounds great.


myLot reputation of 88/100. zandi458 (5844)   ranked 184 out of 11,228 in cooking  5 months ago

VCO is virgin coconut oil. Google VCO and you'll get to know the benefits of VCO. I am sure you'll be able to find agar agar powder in your local mart.


myLot reputation of 99/100. catdla1 (2705)   ranked 212 out of 11,228 in cooking  5 months ago

Agar agar is like gelatin powder, isn't it? You can buy unflavored gelatin powder in the same grocery aisle that they have jello and pudding mixes in. Here is an INFORMATION ONLY link with a comparison of the two:

myLot reputation of 88/100. zandi458 (5844)   ranked 184 out of 11,228 in cooking  5 months ago

Hi Cat, I think gelatin is made from the same source as agar agar. It is very common in my place and can be found everywhere. They are two brands available here. One is from Indonesia and one is from Japan. The Japan made is better.

hello!

you can use this for red or green curries whether on meat or fish if you want something for dessert add it to sago pearls with corn and sugar. have fun!


myLot reputation of 92/100. MsTickle (8957)   ranked 165 out of 11,228 in cooking  5 months ago

Hi andygirl...welcome to myLot. Red and green curries are so yummy but a little hot for me so I think that's the way I will go...I have more chicken and some green curry paste so that means I won't have to waste it.

My Mum used to give us sago when we were little...it is still in the shops but not seen very often these days.

i hear that coconut milk is good for the hair and the skin. well, i hear that it provides volume to your hair. i've tried it before but i can't really see much of a difference because my hair was pretty short. as for the skin, you can apply it just like lotion. and even other people would say that you can use it to treat dry cracked lips. well, if all else fails i think you can just store in a cool place and use it to fry something later on. hehehehe i hope my weird ideas are of help! lol


myLot reputation of 92/100. MsTickle (8957)   ranked 165 out of 11,228 in cooking  5 months ago

LOL...your ideas are not weird at all tomjoad...thanks for joining the discussion.

If you could see my hair you would laugh...my hair is thick, soft, curly and very shiny...I so need LESS volume...lol.


myLot reputation of 99/100. tomjoad (392)   ranked 2,759 out of 11,228 in cooking  5 months ago

yeah... i can see your hair clearly from your avatar. lol! what happened to your skin? why is it purple? now i'm sure you really need to put some coconut milk on your skin. lol


myLot reputation of 92/100. MsTickle (8957)   ranked 165 out of 11,228 in cooking  5 months ago

In that case tom...the half can I have left over would not be enough. It's actually not purple but a soft bright pink. Stick with the facts please. whistle
