Premium Quality Coconut Milk


Have you ever heard of coconut milk? Have you ever wondered about coconut palms and their well-known fruits, coconuts? Coconut palm is native to the tropical regions of Southeast Asia, including Thailand. Coconut palms have played a major role in Thailand’s history, as they have also been cultivated for their leaves, husks, and trunks to be used in various aspects of life. The main advantages of coconut palms are their usefulness as building materials, their nutritional value, and their very versatile culinary use. 

In Thailand, coconuts have long been valued for their nutritional benefits and culinary versatility, which still appear in contemporary Thai food and desserts: coconut ice cream and coconut smoothies, for instance. If you pay a visit to SEA countries, chances are you’ll stumble upon cuisine cooked with coconut milk. Therefore, in this article, we’ll introduce you to one of the most popular cooking ingredients in Thai cuisine: coconut milk.

 

Coconut milk in Thai food


Undoubtedly, one of the most well-liked dishes in the world is Thai cuisine. For example, Tom Kha Gai, a chicken coconut soup from Thailand, ranked first among the world’s best chicken soups according to a survey conducted by TasteAtlas in 2023. What’s the secret to this deliciousness? The answer is coconut milk!

As coconut milk is usually used as a fundamental ingredient in many Thai dishes, coconut milk products are popular in Thailand. Choosing the best coconut milk to ensure an excellent meal is extremely important. Consider Sunlee’s premium coconut milk products that are designed for all purposes, so that your kitchen time is fun and cooking Thai food is easy for you.

Savory Dishes

Savory dishes like those match Sunlee’s Canned Coconut Milk Brown label – Thicker texture because they require thick texture and an intense taste. Use Sunlee’s premium coconut milk in cooking savory dishes to ensure that the taste and texture are as good as they should be.

Staple Dishes


Coconut milk thrives in staple dishes in Thailand as well. Coconut-flavored sticky rice) is one of the most popular staple dishes among Thai people. Mango Sticky Rice and Durian Sticky Rice also fall into this category. With the richness and aromatic scent of coconut milk perfectly imbued and fused with sticky rice, these are dishes that no one would miss. Because Sunlee knows that high-quality coconut milk is an essence of this, they offer an alternative, Canned Coconut Milk Red label – Lighter texture, for those who want a lighter texture to match with the sweet flavor of mango or durian.

Desserts


Are you looking for Thai desserts with coconut milk? Aside from coconut-flavoued sticky rice, bananas in coconut milk (Kluai Buat Chi), Bua Loi, and coconut jelly (Thai jelly or Coconut Jelly Dessert) are delicious as well. But if you’re looking for more contemporary Thai desserts, a mix of Thai ingredients in foreign dessert recipes, like coconut pudding or coconut ice cream, might also be good choices to try! Similarly to the aforementioned dishes, these desserts also use coconut milk as a fundamental ingredient, making them rich in flavor and texture.

Sunlee’s Canned Coconut Milk Green label – Lighter texture is the perfect choice for this. As this coconut milk product is specifically designed for desserts, it is also a match for coconut-based dessert recipes like coconut milk ice cream and coconut milk smoothies

Coconut milk plays a major role as a fundamental ingredient in Thai cuisine and Thai desserts, making the dishes filled with richness and unique texture. Though coconut milk is indeed an important ingredient, it can give different textures depending on the recipes or the type of dish. So, matching coconut milk with each menu is extremely important. For instance, savory dishes like curries, soups, and stews require thick-textured coconut milk to bring its creaminess and richness to the table.

Desserts like coconut ice cream or coconut smoothies, on the contrary, are more suitable with light-textured coconut milk so that it can give a perfect blend of sweetness and mellow taste. Sunlee offers you a wide range of canned coconut milk products to match all of your preferences and cooking styles. The coconut milk products are premium-quality, especially designed to offer you authentic Thai taste and a dairy-free alternative for your liking.
