Thermomix Model

    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!

    Nice flavours. My sauce & chicken ended up too thick, and gluggy. Needs more liquidity. I only used 1/2 the amount of chicken - which got pretty much shredded - so don’t know if that had anything to do with it.
    I made my own almond spread, as didn’t have any on hand - maybe less oil than a commercial blend 🤔
    I would recommend to maybe chop zest, garlic, and ginger on 7 before adding the rest of the ingredients for the sauce, to make blending easier once cooked.
    I added more veggies for nutrition, and interest - pumpkin, and green beans 😋

    ElleDelahaye:
    We have not cooked it with tofu, so we can not say for sure. You could try it but we think that the tofu would get all mashed up as the texture is a lot different than chicken.
    Kind regards

    Could you make this with tofu instead of chicken? I suppose you would change change the amount of cooking time in step 3 to about 5 minutes? and keep everything else the same?
    thanks Smile

    Once you've made the sauce, it stays in the mixing bowl while you add the chicken and other ingredients in Step 3.

    Hope that helps!

    Sounds nice. Where do you add the sauce ... at the end or during chicken cooking?

    Would appreciate the nutritional value of each recipe. My husband is on a strict protein fats and carbs schedule. Thanks
