      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

Change your Vege to any blanched vegetable of choice.

Replace your Chicken with chicken stock paste (1.5 tablespoons) or chicken stock powder (1 tablespoons) or to taste.

Rice Vermicelli (Mee Hoon) complements this dish as well. To use Mee Hoon, soak noodles in hot water for 5minutes and drain well.

This laksa pairs well with side dishes like roast pork, Yong Tau Foo and Sambal Belachan French Beans or Kang Kong

Make a vegetarian version with Vege Stock Paste, Firm Tofu pieces and vegetables like okra and eggplant.
