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!

For those who don't like coriander (I love it but not everyone does) I made this soup with 3cm fresh ginger in it (chopped & added with carrot)
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the stars! xxx
This Coriander Cashew Pesto is amazing! Absolutely love it! Excellent work Fi! X
Hey there. Thanks for your comment. Shiro Miso paste is fermented soybeans and is like a stock concentrate paste. You can add a spoon of it to hot water to make a lovely savoury broth to drink which is what is served in the mugs at most sushi restaurants. There are many uses for it including marinades and salad dressings. I found it in the asian food aisle at my local Woolies for $3 something (less than $4) for 400g. Not a big outlay for a gastronomic adventure. I'd love to hear what you think after you've tried it! xx Fi
This sounds delicious. What is Shiro Miso paste? Does it have other uses that will make it worth buying the paste?
