What can I do with left over ....

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.

I'd make pina coladas :) Other than that or coconut chicken I have no other uses for coconut milk. But I don't think you want chicken two nights in a row. Make pina coladas.

Sounds, good. Have you thought of making a dessert that you can use the milk in? Maybe even put some in a White cake mix..I have never used cocnut milk before only the flaked or shredded coconut. Maybe adding it to a vanilla pudding mix?

Start crusing some ice Tickle. I'm on my way with fresh pineapple and some light rum and we'll be making Pina Colada's with the coconunut milk in no time. After a few of those, you won't care what the coconut milk tastes like cause the rum'll take care of that! ROFL

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 )

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!

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.

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

A couple of times I coconut milk in one of my variants of fried rice. That could be one application for you Tickle. Another is adding it to a curry recipe. It gave an interesting taste that complemented the basic flavors.

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.

Um, how about some satay chicken? Well seriously, I have never cooked ANYTHING with coconut milk in my life. How was the satay chicken though? Maybe I'll try it some time!

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.com/recipe/827/thai-peanut-sauce.html

when ever i have a left over, i would eat it again first thing in the morning rather than the new meal because it would be waste not to eat the left overs. think about eh millions of children that does not eat every day, that would be injustice to them.

make pancakes with it. use it instead of milk. u can make sponge ckae also with it instead of normal milk u use, the cakethus made will be softer. make vegetable stew the next day with it... u can even make a rice dessert or poridge with it. search for 'ari payasam' or even coconut rice, like u use water to cook rice know? similarly use this milk diluted in as much water needed to cook rice n cover to cook, u will have a coconut flavoured rice when it is done.

MsTickle, Since you are having Satay Chicken, I thought it will go well with a plate of Coconut Rice along with a local Asian dessert called Chendol. Hope you like them as per recipes here. Coconut Rice Ingredients : Coconut Rice * 2 cups of rice * 3 Pandan leaves (tie them into a knot) * Salt to taste * 1 small can of coconut milk (5.6 oz size) * Some water Tamarind Juice * 1 cup of water * Tamarind pulp (size of a small ping pong ball) Dried anchovies with sambal chillies * 1/2 red onion * 1 cup dried anchovies * 1 clove garlic * 4 shallots * 10 dried chillies * 1 teaspoon of prawn paste * 1/4 teaspoon of salt * 1 tablespoon of sugar Other ingredients * 2 hard boiled eggs (cut into half) * 1 small cucumber (cut into slices and then quartered) Method: 1. Just like making steamed rice, rinse your rice and drain. Add the coconut milk, a pinch of salt, and some water. Add the pandan leaves into the rice and cook your rice with the rice cooker. 2. Rinse the dried anchovies and drain the water. Fry the anchovies until they turn light brown and put aside. 3. Pound the prawn paste together with shallots, garlic, and un-seeded dried chilies with a mortar and pestle. You can also grind them with a food processor. 4. Slice the red onion into rings. 5. Soak the tamarind pulp in water for 15 minutes. Squeeze the tamarind constantly to extract the flavor into the water. Drain the pulp and save the tamarind juice. 6. Heat some oil in a pan and fry the spice paste until fragrant. 7. Add in the onion rings. 8. Add in the anchovies and stir well. 9. Add tamarind juice, salt, and sugar. 10. Simmer on low heat until the gravy thickens. Set aside. 11. Cut the cucumber into slices and then quartered into four small pieces. 12. Dish up the steamed coconut milk rice and add some sambal fried anchovies on top of the rice. 13. Serve with your satay chicken, cucumber slices, and hard-boiled eggs. Chendol Chendol - This dessert consists of shaved ice and coconut milk, and sweetened with brown sugar syrup. Its main ingredient is chendol, or noodle-like strips made of green bean flour strips. Ingredients : * 300g palm sugar (grated) * 3 tbsp sugar * 3 pandan leaves (tied into knots) See Note * 120ml water * 450ml Coconut Milk * 1/2 tsp salt * 300g green bean flour strips (chendol) * 250g cooked red beans with rock sugar Method : * Boil palm sugar, sugar and pandan leaves in 120ml water for 30 minutes. * Strain palm sugar syrup and set aside. * Add 450ml coconut milk. * Stir in salt then refrigerate. * Spoon green bean flour strips and cooked red beans into bowls or glasses. * Add crushed ice and fill glasses with coconut milk. * Drizzle with palm sugar syrup to taste. Note: Pandan is a herbaceous tropical plant with long green leaves. In Southeast Asia, pandan leaves are used to lend a unique taste and aroma to many Thai desserts and some drinks. Pandan leaves can also be used to wrap savory foods, such as chicken (see recipe links below). Pandan paste is used in cakes and desserts, as it is sweet and imbues foods with a bright green color. It can be purchased as a ready-to-use paste in Asian specialty stores. If purchased fresh, pandan leaves should be pounded into a paste for use in desserts, adding water sparingly. I hope you will like them. Bon Appettit!
