I'm cooking this todayRecipe's preparation
- Weigh 300g of rice. Rinse
- Place garlic ginger, pre-cut chicken in a large bowla sesame oil and tamari or soy sauce to bowl with chicken, mix, cover with cling wrap and set aside.
"Warm Up" "Warm Up" Weigh coconut cream in the mixing bowl and add water up to 1100g. Put rice basket into thermomix
"Kettle" 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.- "Kettle" 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. 
"Blend" Over the top of the vegetables, sprinkle sesame seeds, cashew nuts and more sesame oil & tamari / soy sauce.- "Blend" 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
Thermomix Model
-
Recipe is created forTM 6
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. -
