Can I use canned lychees instead of fresh?

The recipe specifies fresh lychees for their unique texture and flavor, but if unavailable, canned lychees (drained) could be a substitute, though the taste may vary slightly.

What kind of coconut milk should I use?

The recipe suggests coconut milk, cream, or creamer. For a richer, creamier oatmeal, coconut cream or full-fat coconut milk is recommended.

Can I use rolled oats instead of steel-cut?

The recipe calls for quick-cook steel-cut oatmeal, which provides a specific texture. While rolled oats could be used, the consistency and absorption time might differ, so adjust liquid if needed.

Is this oatmeal meant to be served hot or cold?

This Lychee Coconut Oatmeal is designed to be served cold after refrigerating overnight, as recommended in the recipe instructions for optimal flavor and texture.

How long can I store this oatmeal in the fridge?

The recipe instructs to place it in the fridge overnight or for at least three hours. For best freshness and taste, consume within 2-3 days.
