Posted on by greenville

In our previous post, we have learned that coconut milk is a wonderful coconut by-product, containing nutrients that can improve our health. It can make our heart healthy, can aid in weight loss, can enhance brain functions, and can fight infections and diseases.

Now let’s have fun with coconut milk! We are going to make a 3-course meal, from appetizer, entrée, and finally to dessert, using our beloved coconut milk. Let’s enjoy the health wonders of coconut milk in a delicious way.

APPETIZER: Tofu Coconut Soup

Our coconut milk is creamy plus it has that interesting nutty and earthy flavor which makes it a good base in soups. To make this vegetarian appetizer, prepare the following ingredients:

  • Onion
  • Curry paste or powder
  • Ginger
  • Sugar
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Vegetable oil
  • Water
  • Frozen mixed vegetables
  • Tofu
  • Greenville Agro Coconut Milk

Ready to cook? Fire up that pan on medium heat, grease it with vegetable oil, and let’s start cooking! Follow these easy steps:

  1. First you need to sauté the onion and ginger. Then add in the curry paste.
  2. Next pour in water and Greenville Agro Coconut Milk. Wait until it is boiling.
  3. Then, add cubed tofu into the liquid mixture. Also incorporate the mixed vegetables.
  4. Sprinkle salt, sugar, and pepper to taste.
  5. Afterwards, reduce the heat and bring our soup into a simmer.
  6. Cover the pan. Occasionally stir the soup until vegetables are tender.
  7. Serve while our Tofu Coconut Soup is still warm.

Isn’t our appetizer easy to make? Now, let’s move forward to creating our exciting main dish.

ENTRÉE: Coconut Chicken Curry

Coconut milk is the base of most varieties of curries. Even though this is the case, brace yourself because this version of Coconut Chicken Curry will bring so much aromatic and savory surprises. But first, prepare the following ingredients:

  • Lemongrass
  • Onion
  • Garlic
  • Ginger
  • Red pepper flakes
  • Turmeric
  • Vegetable oil
  • Chicken legs, thighs, and wings
  • Salt, sugar, and pepper
  • Water
  • Greenville Agro Coconut Milk

Now, let’s prep the ingredients.

  • Bruise the lemongrass stalks by hitting them. This method will bring out the stalks juices. Then tie them in a loose knot.
  • In a food processor, throw in onion, garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes, turmeric, and 2 tablespoons of water. Blend everything together until they form a paste.

Let’s proceed with cooking. Grab a skillet, grease it with vegetable oil, and set your fire into medium heat. Do the following steps:

  1. In the skillet, dump in the chicken and season it with salt and pepper. Make sure the skin is golden brown before you flip the chicken. After browning the meat, set it aside.
  2. Get the spice paste and cook it in the same skillet.
  3. Once the paste slightly darkens, pour in the Greenville Agro Coconut Milk, sugar, and lemongrass stalks.
  4. Bring the mixture to a simmer and add the browned chicken.
  5. Cook everything until the chicken tenders. Better if the meat starts to fall off the bone.
  6. Serve this while still warm. This is best partnered with rice.
