      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.

    Do Yourself a Favour and Try This Great Recipe!

    I have already commented on this recipe (years ago) and can't believe no-one has left a comment since! 🤦🏻‍♀️
    Unfortunately it wouldn't let me leave a star rating again but if I could have, it would have been 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟.
    I wanted to post this separate comment as this time, I bought two smaller Snappers to see if I could fit them in the Varoma. It worked a treat! They both fitted snugly onto the Varoma tray when placed in a top and tail position. I cooked them for exactly the same time as I would have for one snapper.
    Absolutely delicious!

    This went down a treat with the extended family at today's Fathers' Day lunch. Thanks for the recipe - delicious....such a shame you can't fit a huge snapper in the Varoma.

    thanks for this recipe. I didn't have coriander nor light soy so I omitted those but was still delicious. Thank you again.

    Absolutely delicious and easy.  Fish was not overcooked - our snapper was 800 grams.  Great use of the Red thai curry paste and what a great idea putting a stick of lemongrass inside the fish.  This will be our go to fish dish for a long time to come. thankyou!!!
