Coconut milk is an essential item to have in your pantry. It’s great because it doesn’t need to be refrigerated until you use it, but has all the properties of a normal dairy product. Whether you’re vegan, lactose-intolerant, or just love Asian-flavors, your pantry should never be without it. Scroll down for some coconut milk staples!

Thai Curry

Coconut milk is always necessary when it comes to Thai curries. The sweet and milkiness of the ingredient really balances the bright spiciness of the Thai curry paste and ties everything together perfectly every time. All you have to do is pour it in after you’ve added your veggies and curry paste, let it simmer away, and you have a gorgeous stew in no time.

Popsicles

If you’re looking for a way to cool down this summer, look no further than coconut popsicles. All you need to do is blend it with any type of sugar and fruit or other flavorings, pour it into molds, freeze, and you have an icy treat in a snap.

Coconut Rice

If you’re tired of boring rice made with water, amp it up with a can of coconut milk! Not only will it bring so much flavor to your rice without you having to do anything, it’s the perfect addition to curries, buddha bowls, and more!

Flour and corn tortillas each are a great product on their own, and are really useful for throwing together quick meals. Flour tortillas are especially good because they are more pliable, which means you can use them in more ways. Here are some ideas of what you can make when you have tortillas around.

Roll Ups

Whether you’re going camping or just out on a day trip, making a roll up with a flour tortilla is super easy and practical. All you have to do is fill up the tortilla with your favorite sandwich items, and roll it up into a wrap! You can also just bring the tortillas along and make roll ups wherever you are because the tortillas take up so little space in a bag!

Pizza

If you can’t be bothered to make or buy dough to make pizzas, look no further than tortillas! All you have to do is spread some tomato sauce on each one, top it with cheese and your favorite meats and veggies and bake it at 425 F for about 10 minutes! This is also a great activity to do with friends or kids so everyone can make their own personal pizza!

If you ever look up a recipe and decide not to make it because there’s a key ingredient you don’t have in your pantry, don’t worry! It can be scary buying pantry items because some can be expensive, but if you think about it as an investment, you will be happier and your food will be tastier.

Sesame Oil

When used in moderation, sesame oil can bring a boring saute to life with Asian flavors. Sesame oil is also great for marinades and for building other sauces, so it’s a great item to keep on hand.

Vinegar

Having a few different types of vinegar in your pantry will provide just the right acidic balance your food needs. Some good vinegar to have are balsamic, sherry, red wine, and rice wine. They each have their own flavors and levels of acidity, and work across many different cuisines.

Salt

Although it seems simple, there are many types of salt, so always have something besides table salt in your pantry. Depending on the size and shape of the crystals, salt can completely change the whole flavor of your meal. The most basic salt you should have is kosher, but any additional kinds are also better to have around.
