- Add the boiling water to Thermomix bowl. Place a piece of baking paper onto Varoma tray after you have scrunched, wettened and flattened it out.

- Cook Varoma / Sp 4 / 5 min. Check omlette is cooked then remove from tray. Continue cooking mince for another 10 min.
- Roll omlette up tightly then slice into thin strips. Once mince is cooked, break apart a little.
- Meanwhile, prepare noodles as per packet directions then drain and place into large ThermoServer along with rinsed bean sprouts and omlette strips. Cover with lid to keep warm.

Tip
If your coriander has the roots attached, cut them off, trim and clean before adding to the Thermomix bowl with the onion and garlic - extra flavour!
Stir-fried chicken strips, cooked separately on the stove, can be used in place of mince in this recipe.
I use Squid brand of Fish Sauce and other common brands in Australia and all suit this recipe. If cooking in another country, check your brand of Fish Sauce to ensure it is not labelled 'double strength', as this will result in the sauce tasting too fishy; if labelled 'double strength', reduce amount by half.

Recipe is created forTM 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!

The flavor in this was absolutely fantastic and so authentic
After reading messages I reduced fish sauce to 40 gm and also cooked the egg and pork on the stove. Next time will also reduce pork to 250gms or perhaps use chicken pieces
thank yiu for a fantastic recipe 💕
Great recipe. I pan fry some tenderloins instead of using mince and we all love it. Added a few extra veggies also.
This was awesome, I like a few others added extra veg. 👌
Delishious, quick and easy.
Made meat free version.
Decreased fish sauce to 40 grams and doubled peanuts as I like the crunch.
Felt like it need something more, I added a squeeze of fresh lime juice when plating up and felt it brought the dish together.
Will definitely make a again.
By far my favorite dish....cooked egg and pork mince on the stove cut down to having all done in 15min....great flavoursome mid week meal
Really enjoyed this meal. Will def Cook again!
Jess_Ryan:yes my egg needed a lot more time to cook. I was scrolling the comments looking for other egg comments ha
Awesome recipe
added Red Capsicum & Carrot for colour & a bit of water to use up all the flavour from the bowl 😀
Was a pleasant dish but a bit sweet. Kids liked it though. I reduced the fish sauce to avoid the fishy taste people have mentioned. The chicken mince also ended up looking like grains of rice so I'd use chicken breast and shred if I make it again as it all looked a bit mushy at the end.
This was delicious, it could've done with some lime juice or tamarind for an extra flavour hit but was great nonetheless. Also cooked the omelette on the stove.
