Also, if you go to Asian groceries at all, they sell little cans of coconut milk that don't leave you with ridiculous leftover amounts.

| I freeze the rest in tiny portion-size rubbermaid containers. |

| Definitely use to make rice (I usually use half water half coconut milk) - it enhances the flavor and is so yummy. |

Yes! The seafood market on Connecticut Ave in Chevy Chase DC sells 5.5 oz cans. I can't find them anywhere else so I always stock up. |

| Cook some greens like spinach or swiss chard in it. Add some garlic and either red pepper flakes or fresh chilis. Yum. |

I love this Thai Chicken Salad from Cooking Light. It uses light coconut milk to make the dressing. YUM!

| How about cooking oatmeal in it. Throw in some chocolate chips. Yum! |

| Use as a substitute for sweetened condensed milk. |

In what? I will stick to sweetened condensed in my Vietnamese coffee, but I'm intrigued to know what I can sub coconut milk into instead? Brownies? Tres leches? |
