I'm cooking this todayRecipe's preparation
- Place garlic and ginger into mixing bowl and chop 5 sec/speed 7.
Scrape out of mixing bowl (using spatula) and mix with pre-cut chicken in a large bowl.
Do not wash the mixing bowl. - Add a sesame oil and tamari or soy sauce to bowl with chicken, mix, cover with cling wrap and set aside.
- Weigh coconut cream in the mixing bowl and add water up to 1100g.
- Place lid on mixing bowl and set simmering basket on top of lid.
Reset scales to zero and weigh rice in basket.
Remove basket and lid from top of mixng bowl and rinse rice in the basket under tap.
Place basket into mixing bowl and lock lid into place
"Closed lid" - Put Varoma into position and spread chicken out evenly within the tray to enable holes for the steam to come through.
Steam 20 min/Varoma temp/speed 2. - While the chicken is steaming, prepare vegetables and place into Varoma as it heats up.
Start chopping the firmer vegetables first and add them to the Varoma as soon as they are chopped to correct size. Leave softer vegetables (like capsicum, shallots, snow peas etc) until the end as they have a shorter cooking time.
Make sure there are still holes visible for the steam to get through. - Over the top of the vegetables, sprinkle sesame seeds, cashew nuts and more sesame oil & tamari / soy sauce.
- Once cooking time has finished remove the rice (place in ThermServer to keep warm).
Stir the chicken and veges, breaking the chicken apart and again, making sure there are still holes unblocked for the steam to get through.
Cook for further 5 - 10min/Varoma temp/speed 2 checking the chicken is cooked through.
Once cooked, remove Varoma tray while you finish the sauce.
(Tip: you can take off the ThermoServer lid with the rice init and sit the Varoma tray on top so they both stay warm) - To the mixing bowl (with coconut cream etc still in there) add a couple of handfuls of cashews, chilli, coriander / parsley, 2 garlic cloves, 2cm piece of ginger, couple more tbsp of soy / tamari sauce, rapadura sugar and chicken stock paste.
Blend 1 min/speed 9.
No need to measure just use your instincts, blend, taste and then adjust if necessary! - Serve immediately - rice, chicken and vegetables with cashews on top, and sauce drizzled over liberally.
Method
Tip
The first 2 steps, marinating the chicken, can be done ahead of time for more flavour - but if you're doing it all at the last minute it still tastes good! My suggestion for the vegetables to use are:- thin wedges of onion- 2 celery sticks, leaves removed & thinly sliced- 2 carrots, thinly sliced- broccoli, cut into small pieces- green beans- chinese cabbage, thinly sliced- bok choy, thinly sliced- red / green capsicum, thinly sliced- snow peas- shallots, thinly sliced

Very nice. All of the family enjoyed. Thanks.
Easy and tasty 😋. Thank you for sharing.
Tried this for first time, I found it to be a very messy cooking process, but the end result was well worth the effort & mess! I reduced the rice to 300g after reading the comments, & for the veggies I used onion, capsicum, celery, carrot & snow peas. Will try again with other veggies for comparison. I used lots of parsley & coriander & I loved the creamy sauce!
So delicious!
This is going to be a regular in my kitchen. I'm new to cooking with the TM6 and the Varoma, so my veggies can improve. I added them a bit too early. But it was still a success at our dinner table.
On very high rotation at our house, my 2yo loves it! I add some extra coconut cream to make it extra saucy and it's delicious every single time!
Absolutly delicious. One of the nicest meals I have cooked in the Thermomix. Thank you
(will cut back on the quantity or rice next time)
Absolutely delicious! I have made this twice now varying the vegetables I use depending on what I have in the fridge. Fussy husband also loves it. I also reduce amount of rice to 250/300.
Always tastes amazing!! I've made this heaps of times. Every time it's a little different, depending on what veggies I use and what I chuck in the sauce. It always tastes amazing!!
