I’m a big fan of coconut milk and use it on a daily basis. I mix it up with a protein shake plus Chia seeds after my gym work out as this combination really gives me a feeling of fullness. A few months ago, I started adding some new oriental recipes to my menu and Thai food has become one of my favourites. I now cook Thai curry regularly, but I can never finish a can of coconut milk when I cook Thai savoury dishes…and so the leftover automatically goes into my protein shake the following day…
One day, while I was working out at the gym, a new idea came to mind “Why don’t I mix coconut milk with DRIED KONYAKU and Chia seeds?” My first attempt at making this was better than expected. The unique smell-free DRIED KONYAKU really went well with the coconut and chia as a sweet dessert dish. After several experiments, I ended up with this combination: DRIED KONYAKU with coconut milk, almond milk, brown sugar and Chia seeds. Oh, and don’t forget to sprinkle soya powder on the top - its roasted flavour makes a big difference!
