      Recipe is created for
      TM 6
      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.

Recipe's preparation

  1. CRISPY CHICKEN
    1) Place the chicken in a bowl. Add the buttermilk, salt, pepper and garlic salt. Mix together, cover and place in the fridge to marinade for at least 1 hour.
    2) Mix the crispy coating ingredients together in a small bowl. Take the chicken out of the fridge. Take a piece from the buttermilk and allow the excess to drip off. Dredge the chicken in the crispy coating mixture – ensuring it’s fully covered. Place on a tray and repeat until all of the chicken is coated.
    3) Once the oil is hot enough, add in 10-12 of the pieces. You can add more or less depending on the size of your pan, just be sure not to overcrowd the chicken. Cook for 3-5 minutes until golden brown and cooked in the middle. You can check this by cutting open a piece of chicken, if it’s no longer pink in the middle, it’s cooked.
    4) Place on a tray in the oven to keep warm whilst you cook the rest of the chicken.


    BAO BUNS

    1) Add all the Bao Buns ingredients into the Closed lid in order.
    2) Mix for 6 Seconds, Speed 6.
    3) Using the Knead Function, Dough mode for 2 Minutes.
    4) Remove the dough from bowl and place into either a lightly greased bowl and cover with Cling Wrap OR place onto a Silicone Bread Mat & leave to rise for 1 hour.
    5) Roll out the dough onto a silicone bread mat & using either a round cookie cutter or a glass, cut out as many circles as you can get, ensuring you re-roll the scraps to make more.
    6) Fold each circle in half & lightly srpay with oil to prevent sticking. Place into a Varoma Tray & allow to rise for around 45 minutes.
    7) Place 1L water into the mixing bowl & set to 12 Minutes, Varoma Temp, Speed 2.

    SAUCE
    1) Add all of the sauce ingredients into the Mixing Bowl Closed lid & set to Thicken Mode. Once done, pop aside and prepare the vegetable components.

    VEGETABLES
    1) Jullienne your veggies of choice.

    Fill buns with your choice of toppings and enjoy!

    As a tip, I drizzle the sauce & a little bit of mayonnaise on top tmrc_emoticons.)

    I wasn't sure how thick to roll the dough & I think it was too thick as they were a bit dough-y still after the 3 min. I'd either to thinner or steam longer next time.

    i got about 16 buns from my mixture.
