      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 can be prepared in the TM31. I have prepared this dish a number of times & have between 750ml & 900ml of masterstock remaining which I freeze.

The next time you make this dish, weigh your defrosted masterstock into Closed lid and add water to 1600g then add all ingredients except water, soy & chinese cooking wine.

After using the masterstock a couple of times you might want to adjust flavours with less sugar, more soy. More sugar & wine for a sweeter sauce, or add a dried chilli or 2 for extra spice.

As long as you cool the masterstock rapidly & freeze, and defrost overnight in the fridge to use the next day, your masterstock will continue to improve & become more intense over time.

    loved this. Thank you! Didn't have a few ingreds and still was delicious (eg lemongrass, ginger). My rice didn't cook properly but I was using Basmati not jasmine in my TM5 so maybe that was why, I just added more water and cooked it for another 5 mins and it was fine.

    Even the kids liked it! It can be really hard introducing new meals to young kids but this passed for all. Delicious! I also like the idea of being able to freeze & reuse the masterstock. Thank you!
