      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.

  • Nice flavours. My sauce & chicken ended up too...

    Nice flavours. My sauce & chicken ended up too thick, and gluggy. Needs more liquidity. I only used 1/2 the amount of chicken - which got pretty much shredded - so don’t know if that had anything to do with it.
    I made my own almond spread, as didn’t have any on hand - maybe less oil than a commercial blend 🤔
    I would recommend to maybe chop zest, garlic, and ginger on 7 before adding the rest of the ingredients for the sauce, to make blending easier once cooked.
    I added more veggies for nutrition, and interest - pumpkin, and green beans 😋

    We have not cooked it with tofu, so we can not say for sure. You could try it but we think that the tofu would get all mashed up as the texture is a lot different than chicken.
    Kind regards

  • Could you make this with tofu instead of chicken?...

    Submitted by ElleDelahaye on 6. May 2019 - 14:38.

    Could you make this with tofu instead of chicken? I suppose you would change change the amount of cooking time in step 3 to about 5 minutes? and keep everything else the same?
    thanks Smile

    Once you've made the sauce, it stays in the mixing bowl while you add the chicken and other ingredients in Step 3.

    Hope that helps!

    Sounds nice. Where do you add the sauce ... at the end or during chicken cooking?
