Sweet Coconut Sauce Food

COCONUT SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring the coconut milk and brown sugar to a boil together in a heavy-bottomed pot. Reduce heat to medium low; cook and stir while boiling until the mixture is thick and the volume has reduced by about half, about 20 minutes.

SWEET COCONUT SAUCE

Steps:

• In heavy saucepan, combine sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks and margarine.
• Over medium heat, cook and stir until thickened and bubbly, about 8 minutes.
• Stir in remaining ingredients.
• Serve warm.
• Bottle and refrigerate leftovers.

COCONUT DESSERT SAUCE

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, whisk together the coconut milk, salt, sugar, and water. Place over medium heat and bring to a near-simmer, lowering the heat if the coconut milk spits or pops. Give the cornstarch mixture a good stir and add it to the sauce, mixing well. Cook, stirring, for about 30 seconds, or until the sauce thickens; then remove from the heat.
• Let the sauce cool, uncovered, to concentrate the flavors before serving. It will keep in a tightly closed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you are serving it warm, reheat gently over low heat.

SWEET COCONUT RICE

Steps:

• Stir rice, coconut milk, and water together in a saucepan. Dissolve sugar into the liquid.
• Bring the mixture to a simmer, reduce heat to medium-low, place a cover on the saucepan, and simmer until the majority of the liquid has been absorbed by the rice, 15 to 20 minutes. Leaving saucepan on the burner, turn heat off and let rice steam until sticky, about 5 to 10 minutes more. Garnish with shredded coconut.

SWEET POTATO WITH COCONUT PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a saucepan on medium heat.
• Fry the onion and garlic in the oil for a few minutes until the onion is sweated and soft and the garlic is fragrant but not burned.
• Add the curry powder and stir to combine.
• Add the peanut butter and stir until it begins to melt.
• Pour in the coconut milk and stir until well blended.
• A wire whisk can be helpful at this point to blend the sauce well.
• Add the cubes of sweet potatoes and the salt to the sauce in the pan and bring the mixture to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until the sweet potato is softened and pierces easily with the tip of a knife (about 10-15 minutes depending on size of chunks).
