Make the best Asian desserts with the sweet, earthy and wholesome flavour of red bean paste!
An essential ingredient in kitchens across Asia, the versatile coconut has a range of health benefits; it also comes in a range of styles, including coconut milk, coconut water, coconut sugar and desiccated coconut. Go nuts for coconut in all its forms with our guide to six ways to cook with coconut.
Coconut Milk
Most pantries would have a can of coconut milk ready to go, adding a creamy richness to soups and curries.
Coconut Cream
With a higher coconut content, coconut cream is a richer, thicker version of coconut milk. It’s ideal for fruit-based desserts.
Desiccated Coconut
Another kitchen staple, desiccated coconut is used in everything from cakes to curries. Once toasted, it adds texture and nutty flavour to dishes.
Coconut Water
Not just great for rehydrating after the gym, coconut water is a popular cooking ingredient in Vietnam, where it adds a gentle sweetness to dishes.
Coconut Sugar
Made from the sap of coconut buds, we love coconut sugar, used to add an earthy sweetness.
Powdered Coconut
For a convenient hit of coconut milk, keep a box of coconut milk powder in your pantry, then use in your favourite curry or for coconut ice cream.
