Ingredients

300 g - 400 g chicken breast or thigh , cut into small cubes
3-4 garlic cloves
4 cm fresh ginger
2 tbsp tamari or soy sauce
dash sesame oil
450 g coconut cream , approx. 1 can
water
400 g basmati rice , you can use less
sliced vegetables , see tip section for my suggestions
sesame seeds
cashew nuts, raw
1 fresh chilli , about a 1 inch size piece (more if you like it hot)
fresh coriander
handful of flat leaf parsley , fresh
1 tsp rapadura or raw sugar , optional
1 tbsp chicken stock paste , can use vegetable stock instead


Preparation

Method

1.

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.

2.

Add a sesame oil and tamari or soy sauce to bowl with chicken, mix, cover with cling wrap and set aside.

3.

Weigh coconut cream in the mixing bowl and add water up to 1200g.

4.

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

5.

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 4.

6.

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.

7.

Over the top of the vegetables, sprinkle sesame seeds, cashew nuts and more sesame oil & tamari / soy sauce.

8.

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)

9.

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!

10.

Serve immediately - rice, chicken and vegetables with cashews on top, and sauce drizzled over liberally.


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

Glad you liked it! Did the meat and veges cook in about 25-30 mins? If not, you just need to make sure you have holes poked in the food so the steam can get through.

Thanks for that but.....she can't have anything with corn either Sad

She "can" have walnuts, hazelnuts, pine nuts, pecans, macadamias and sesame seeds - do you think it would work and still taste great with any of those?

Hmmm, I think you'll just

Hmmm, I think you'll just have to thicken it with a couple of tablespoons of cornflour then - it's still really yummy like that, I've done it before. Smile

Smile Cooked this tonight and loved the taste ...especially the coconut rice....will be cooking this again soon...this was my first time using the varoma and I was very happy with my finished dish....

I really enjoyed this dish -

I really enjoyed this dish - so much better than the one in the EDC as this had great flavour! I found my sauce was way to runny, so next time will be adding some more nuts, or just a bit of cornflour to thicken it up. Will be making again for sure! Oh and I loved the coconut rice - delicious. Laughing out loud

Total winner. Divine

5

Total winner. Divine delicious ! I had to cook two lots of chicken and veg and one sauce was enough. I am almost tempted to buy another Thermo mix as often cook for up to 9 people at any one time ! 

soooooo good!! 

soooooo good!!  Laughing out loud

The best meal ever! Loved it

The best meal ever! Loved it and got rave Reviews from the family.
Thank you.

I just made the Chicken

I just made the Chicken Cashew in the EDC and wasn't too keen on the sauce.  But I just knew if I went on to the forum I would find something to replace it with - Cant wait to try this recipe!  Smile

This recipe was rated

This recipe was rated "cooking with gas" by my family! :)  I will make it again for sure, just add a bit of soy sauce to the sauce, and maybe some salt while cooking the rice.  LOVED the ease of it, and the fact that it was a big recipe that fed all of us in one go.  Well done!
