Its flavor pairs well with spicy and savory flavors, making it a popular ingredient in hot and sour soups, stir-fries, and noodles. Coconut milk is also a great alternative to dairy milk for those who are lactose intolerant or vegan. It is a versatile ingredient that can be used to add flavor and texture to a wide range of Chinese dishes.
