Thai Kitchen is the antagonist on this channel. I love how she’s so polite and classy in essentially trashing it whenever the opportunity arises. That and chicken breast.

I went to the store (in Thailand) to cook my first Thai cuisine which has coconut milk in the recipes. I didn't do my research and was so confused what to get but asked for help to a kind Thai lady and she recommended A-roy D.

@SoulSonder26 Месяц назад

When a Thai lady tells you something about cooking, you listen, I don't care if you're Gordon Ramsey!

@foreveryung572 Месяц назад

You’re absolutely right! I usually look for anything that says coconut cream greater than 60%. The higher the percentage, the higher the fat content. Growing up in Singapore, when we made curries or nasi lemak (coconut rice), we would go to the market and get freshly grated coconut. Then we would go home, put the ground coconut in muslin cloth, pour a little hot water and then squeeze out the coconut milk. We would separate the first batch with the 2nd and 3rd batch as the later ones were more dilute. We would use the thicker one for the rice and some added to the other batches for the curry. Best way to go. But it’s hard to get freshly grated coconut in the US.

i once found this organic coconut milk can from the supermarket and OMG it was amazing. Usually I don't fall in line with that organic stuff but that coconut milk that I bought had so much fat in it that when I made it into thai red curry it was so creamy and delicious not to mention at that time I still had some leftover homemade red curry paste which made the most amazing red curry.

There is a very good brand called Coco Lopez . Widely used in the Caribbean cuisine . It is with this brand that the piña colada was originally made . When you go to Guadeloupe or Martinique every single household always have few cans in the kitchen either for a curry or a cocktail . It is very creamy .

@cooking60210 Год назад

Yes, the Aroy-D coconut milk is the best I've found. They make big paper cartons but if you don't use coconut milk often it's better to use the small container. Otherwise you have to use up the leftover coconut milk. I bought a 6-pack of small containers today for $10 at my local Asian market.

@AdamHotThaiKitchen Год назад

Hey! Yes we've heard of this happening once in a while, and the consensus so far is that it might have to do with the cans getting overheated during shipping. Re the cartons we haven't run into that so far - but some people ordering them online have reported this (though rarely). Cheers! Adam

I wonder if there's a difference for the US market in the product or just what's listed on the label.

@briand2614 Год назад

Interesting that here in the States a serving is 1/2 cup (90g)? on the Aroy-D at 17g fat, or is it.... Not sure why it's in grams and not ml. It also says there is 4.5 servings per 14 fl oz (400ml)can. 🤔 The fat content didn't match when I did some math, and just confused me, then I realized that the 'cup' reference is probably just rounded off from metric. I think the can is actually 13.5 oz and so a serving is probably closer to 1/3 of a cup anyway, and not 1/2. Also on the CDN can a 1/3 cup would actually be 79ml, not 83ml, again probably just rounding error. It's difficult to make a comparison based on the discrepancies, but I have to assume the contents are exactly the same. Any difference between the fat content in the can versus carton could also be just math rounding errors. I need to look for the cartons though. Where I am on east coast the cans are still more common, or the cartons are the larger 1L size.

@fajarsetiawan8665 10 месяцев назад

Canned coconut milk usually has stronger preservatives in it. These preservatives are also the culprit that prevent your coconut milk from breaking when cooked on high heat. So, the technique of breaking the milk to draw out the coconut oil won't work for canned coconut milk.

Sadly, even in N California, I can’t find that brand of coconut milk, especially not in the carton. And buying it online is cost prohibitive. I have a lot of Asian grocery stores in my area, but they seem to be Chinese, Korean or Vietnamese grocery stores. I can’t seem to be able to connect to anyone who’s in charge of purchasing. 😢
