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!

    This is a BIG hit in the family, I made these many times and this is the BEST steam buns I ever made. I add extra brown sugar for the sauce coz I find it a bit salty otherwise it's so good and easy recipe.
    Thank you for sharing the recipe. Smile

    So yummy! The family was very impressed. I made these earlier in the day and put them on a plate in the fridge. They ended up sticking to the plate and all fell apart when I went to transfer them. My tip would be to put flour or baking paper under them!

    These are amazing! I steamed mine on the stove top, I don't think there would be any way you could get them all cooked in one batch in thermomix. The sauce was divine. All devoured by all 3 kids and hubby and myself. Will add this into a regular rotation for our meal planning.

    Yum yum!  The pork filling is delicious but I am confused about the "sauce",  I used mince so there was nothing to drain.  Has to use extra cornflour to thicken the meat.  My dough was a little sticky and I need to practice forming the disc - mine were a bit thick.  Overall, just delicious and I am looking forward to making them again!

    Thanks for pointing  this out.. sweet soy is fine.. 70 gm is correct.  Extra was a typo.

    I would like to know why there is 70g soy sauce and then 1 tablespoon of soy sauce. Is the tablespoon suppose to be sweet soy? this is confusing. Please give feed back I and another viewer would like to make these. tmrc_emoticons.)

    I've made these a couple of times now as they are so tasty, and I've found its much easier to make filling and let it cool before filling buns.i made it day before and second time just used pork mince, much easier to handle and you can stuff more filling in! They do take a bit longer than recipe says to steam, I did 20-25 mins but they are delicious
