      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

Check halfway through to give mixture a quick stir if required.

The pork will produce more liquid during cooking time, so there should be sufficient liquid to cook the pork. If concerned, add more liquid and soy sauce and adjust the sugar/salt balance at the end.

Just before adding the cornflour, there may be a layer of oil that has collected on the top. Strain it off with a metal spoon before adding the cornflour and eggs.
