      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.

Tip

This dish could easily be done with chicken, you would just need to steam the chicken for 20 mins, if cut into 2cm chunks - so the whole time the rice is steaming

  • I made this tonight as I was

    I made this tonight as I was looking so a good sweet n sour recipe that I can easily  convert to vegan. So I swapped the prawns for tofu and steamed it for the whole 20 mins. I also used only 25 g of sugar and no oil in the water for cooking the rice. It turned out absolutely  delicious ! Will definitely make again. Thank you

  • Found this sweet and sour

    Found this sweet and sour prawn dish too sweet, even though I omitted the sugar. I was expecting the sauce to thicken up more too. I may  consider making it again if I replaced the pineapple juice with water.

    Delicious recipe Jilly! I made it with chicken thighs cut into 2cm pieces.  I've never made a Sweet'n Sour dish before so this recipe was an excellent one to wait for!!!  I will be making this again and again!!

  • Made this tonight and it was

    Submitted by Lulin on 8. July 2015 - 19:56.

    Made this tonight and it was the first time using the varoma!

    A very tasty dish. Only change made was I used less sugar in the sauce (25g and found this perfect for us)

    The sauce says to add oil and sauté.. there was no oil mentioned in the sauce ingredients so I used 1 teaspoon of coconut oil. 

    Will make again!
