An essential staple in
Southeast Asian cooking,
coconut milk is the unsweetened, processed liquid made from grated coconuts. Used in both sweet and savory creations,
coconut milk contributes tropical flavor and body. Add to soups, sweets,
curries, and
stir-fry sauces. Typically sold canned, the milk is topped with a thick, coconut cream that's easily skimmed off and whisked into dishes before serving.
