Recipe's preparation

  1. Chop garlic and spring onion for 3 seconds, speed 6

  2. Add soy and oyster sauce and mix for 4 seconds, speed 4

  3. Add chicken pieces to marinade mixture and stir for 2 seconds, Counter-clockwise operation"Counter-clockwise operation" speed 3

  4. Leave chicken in TM bowl and put whole bowl and lid in fridge if possible to marinade for 1-2 hrs (you can skip this step if you are short on time, but it will taste nicer if you can leave it to marinade for a while)

  5. Tip chicken out of TM bowl onto top tray of Varoma and spread evenly, ensuring there are steam holes visible.  DON'T WASH THE TM BOWL!!

  6. ** Optional: Add vegetables of choice to bottom half of Varoma (you may want to do this with only 10 minutes remaining if you have soft vegetables, but harder vegetables like carrots etc can take the 20 minutes to steam. Use your steaming guide in the front of your EDC to decide when to add the vegetables)

  7. Insert basket into TM bowl. Weigh rice (between 200-400g depending on how much you need for your family. We use around 200g for 2 adults and 3 small children). Add 500g of water. To rinse rice, put the lid on and turn speed up to 4 for 5 seconds or so until the rice is all wet (look through the top while it is rinsing)

  8. Cook on Varoma temperature for 20 minutes, speed 2

  9. Use your spatula to remove basket of rice and tip into a Thermoserver, then add chicken and vegetables and serve.

    As per the below comment, I cooked 400gm rice with 1ltr water. Added chopped chilli, honey, fish sauce and fresh ginger to marinade sauce and stirred through chicken and popped into fridge for 1hr. Added heaps of vegies hard and soft into the bottom varoma tray with hard veg at the bottom and soft veg on top. Poured chicken and marinade into top tray lined with dampened baking paper. Cooked for 35 minutes. Perfect.

    Such a great easy but tasty recipe! Have made this several times and the whole family approved. Love how it’s all done in the thermomix. I cooked rice and chicken for 30mins as it wasn’t quite ready at 20. I have even done this recipe with fish instead of chicken and that was sensational ❤️

    Easy dish to make, felt it needed a little more flavor.

    Loved this meal! I had left over rice, so just followed the recipe for the rest. Once the chicken was sitting on the rice on our plates, I just spooned some of the cooking juice over it, which made for really flavoursome, tasty rice that totally complimented the chicken. Definitely on the cook again list!

    Highly recommend this very easy all in one meal! I followed some of the comments and used 1L water and cooked on varoma speed 4 (in my TM5) and the rice, chicken and veg were all cooked to perfection. I also left the chicken to marinade overnight and added cashews. Seriously delicious, thank you tmrc_emoticons.)

    VERY YUMMY! I upped the amount of water and the speed to help cook the rice through a bit better. Will definitely be making again. Quick, easy, tasty family dinner  tmrc_emoticons.)

    Hello! I loved this recipe, nice and healthy and delicious! Thank you for sharing! I had thighs with bones, I removed the skin. Only had spring onions and eschalottes, I used 3 spring onions, 3 eshalottes and 2 garlic cloves. I only had soy sauce and fish sauce, used 60 grams of soy sauce and 20 grams of fish sauce. the rice cooked this way is absolutely delicious, its almost like an Asian style risotto! and so are the veggies in varoma and the chicken, the only thing the thighs took 30 minutes to cook through. Cheers!  tmrc_emoticons.)

    Love all-in-one meals. I actually prepped this the night before and left chicken marinade overnight. I didn't cook rice from scratch as I had leftovers but put it in to reheat at the 10 minute mark. Chicken was cooked beautifully and very moist. Portion size provided my family of 4 with leftovers. Great recipe and will make again.
