Combine the instant yeast with evaporated milk and let it sit for a few minutes.

In a large mixing bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, sugar, and salt.

Add the yeast mixture, vegetable oil, and egg to the dry ingredients; mix until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in a greased bowl; cover and let rise until doubled in size.

Punch down the dough and divide it into equal portions.

Flatten each portion and place a spoonful of the coconut filling in the center; fold the dough over to seal.

Shape into balls and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Cover the rolls and let rise again until puffy.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
