Recipe's preparation

    To make the dumplings:

  1. 1. Add all the veg and herbs to the mixing bowl. Mince 10 secs/speed 5. Scrape sides. Mince 7 secs/speed 5. Remove to large bowl.

    2. Add half of the chicken to the mixing bowl. Turbo 1 second x 4. Remove to the same bowl as herbs and veg. Repeat process with remaining chicken.

    3. Add chicken and veg back to mixing bowl, along with remaining dumpling ingredients. Mix for 45 secs/speed 4. 

    4. Lightly spray with oil your varoma tray, to prevent your dumplings from sticking. Alternatively you could wet some baking paper and lay it on your varoma tray, poking some holes with a knife so the juice doesnt get trapped.

    5. Form even sized balls of dumpling mix and place them on to varoma tray in the bottom of the varoma dish. Make sure they have small spaces between each, and that they are in a single layer. Place your varoma in the fridge until ready to cook. Can be done the day beforehand.

    2. Cooking dumplings with veg/sauce/noodles:

  2. 1. In a clean mixing bowl, place 900g of water. Set varoma into position. 27 mins/varoma/speed 2.

    2. In a small bowl, mix cornflour, soy, chinese cooking wine, garlic, sesame oil, oyster sauce, honey, fish sauce. Ensure there are no lumps. You can achieve this by mixing the cornflour with the wine first until it is smooth.

    3. Prepare your mixed vegetables. I like to julienne the harder veg - like carrots, onion, celery, etc. - so that it cooks at the same speed as the lighter veg - like snowpeas, bok choy, spring onions. 

    4. When the timer goes off after 27 mins, remove varoma. Reserve 200 g of the liquid from the mixing bowl. Add to this liquid in the mixing bowl, the cornflour mixture.

    5. Place veggies in the bottom of the varoma on top of the dumplings you have in there. Place varoma back into position. Cook for a further 8 mins/varoma/speed 2.

    6. While this is cooking, boil a kettle of water. Place vermicelli noodles in a bowl and cover with boiled water. Use a fork to move noodles gently until they separate. Leave noodles in the hot water until the dumplings are finished so they will be warm.

    7. When timer goes off, remove dumplings and veg to a server. Tip lime juice in to mixing bowl, and mix 4 secs/speed 4. Pour 70% of sauce over the top of veg and dumplings in server. Drain noodles, and mix with the remaining sauce. 

    8. Serve garnished with fresh coriander, sesame seeds, fried shallots, and spring onion.

Tip

You could use any kind of meat in this recipe, simply alter the turbo time to get the desired consistency. 

You don't need to add all of the veg to the dumplings. I have done this to sneak veggies to a fussy toddler. 

You could swap out the breadcrumbs for nut meal to reduce the gluten in the dish.

Thermomix Model

  • Appliance TM 5 image
    Recipe is created for
    TM 5
    If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
    For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.
    Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!
