can you use soy milk instead of coconut milk for cooking some recipes that basically need the coconut milk?

Question

since the soy milk is healthier than coconut milk..
Do you have some experiences of it? would it have the same taste?

Answer 1

I wouldn't use soy milk instead of coconut milk. Coconut milk has much more fat and therefore makes sauce or recipes a lot smoother and creamier. Soy milk is too watery. Also coconut milk puts a certain taste to the recipe, which soy milk would not. So it would certainly not have the same taste. One of my friends tried to put soy milk in a curry dish once and it tasted horrible.

Answer 2

no way. coconut milk has no subsitute, even the powdered/canned variety is nothing compared to the fresh stuff. soy milk is an acquired taste, I dont think it can be a substitute at all. also, even though it may a healthier 'milk' it may not have the same qualities once its cooked.

I worked in a factory manufacturing soymilk maker, with our machine, you can make more sticky soymilk, you can also make soy milk mixing coconut, date, walnut, almond, seasam, wheat, corn, and other cereals. FDA approved a soy health claim “Consume 25 grams of soy protein per day will reduce the risk of heart diseases”.Soy foods will help reduce the risk of heart disease because they are cholesterol free and high in fiber.

Soy foods contain isoflavones known as genistein and daidzein, a naturally accruing plant form of estrogen that will replicate the function estrogen in post-menopausal women.
Soy foods reduce the risk of many digestive disorders because of its high fiber content. This aids in healthy digestion, and has shown to reduce the risk of colon and rectal cancer.
