Tapioca Coconut Cake Recipe

Cake made of tapioca pearls? Just add papaya.

Oct 31, 2012 4:01 pm

The pearls are clearly visible in both of our versions, suspended in a cooked egg mixture. I’ve kicked things up, though, by flavoring the cake with coconut and lime and serving it with papaya. This makes a unique dessert, one I urge you to try.

New Potato Rendang & Green Beans Recipe

A delicious vegan curried side dish or small plate

Jan 15, 2012 2:01 pm

Add some Malaysian flavors to your life with this addictively spicy potato experience. Rendang is a special kind of curry in which a main ingredient is slowly cooked in spicy coconut milk until the sauce is deeply reduced. Tender new potatoes absorb the spice-infused coconut sauce and cook down to lush, citrusy perfection.

This spicy rock shrimp is served at Masak with locally produced stoneground polenta. The curry sauce is based on Singaporean prawn curry, and together, the whole thing is my take on shrimp and grits. One of my favorite lunchtime dishes at home is a sambal udang (shrimp), often served with sambal quail eggs.

Although ‘spiced’ this dish is not particularly spicy – even with the added chili and paprika. The spice is very mild and subtle but absolutely essential in aiding the soup to be bursting with the incredible flavor it possesses.

This year, we're trying something new for our Thanksgiving turkey. I'm making a marinade of coconut milk, buttermilk and pomegranate juice. I think this will ensure a really moist holiday bird.

Start this the day before by brining the turkey in a saltwater mixture. Then on the day of, transfer the turkey to a flavorful marinade that will seal moisture in. With 2 1/2 hours of roasting,...

Any dish on the continent of Asia that's served over rice can be served over coconut rice for an extra hit of flavor. Simply substitute half the water for coconut milk, and you're good to go.

If you crave tangy, comforting tom kha gai, or Thai coconut chicken soup as regularly as we do, don't hesitate to make it at home. It's about as easy as making good old-fashioned chicken soup. Round up some fish sauce, coconut milk and ginger root and you're well on your way.

The Pros and Cons of Coconut Milk
