In the last minute of cooking time, add 10-20 chopped Thai basil leaves through the hole.

Tip
This is a very mild version of Choo Chee. If you like it hot, use sambal oelek instead of sambal paste and add 1 TBSP red curry paste. And add a fresh red chilli with the garlic.
I timed this recipe using frozen prawns, if cooking from raw they will need less time.
This recipe can be doubled!
Cook your rice beforehand and keep it warm in your thermoserver.
Would be great as a vegetarian dish as well, just replace the meat with more veg.

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!

Really nice! Flavour was lovely and super easy to make. I sliced chicken thin and added at "add your meat' stage - however when that 5 minutes was finished i removed the chicken as it looked farely cooked. I then added frozen veggies for the next 5 minutes. When the veggies were done i added chicken to bowl with the thai basil for one further minute to combine everything and finish off the chicken. I also cooked rice first as recommended. Will be making again! Thank you.
Loved this! Subbed in 1 tbsp red curry paste for samal paste and was plenty spicy. Will reduce next time. Also used 1 whole tin of coconut cream, 500g chicken breas, and subbed lime zest for leaves. Yum!
