      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.

Tip

Prepare the tofu before you cook with it.  Tofu is packed in water, and it's a lot like a sponge — if you don't press out the old water you can't get any new flavours in.

  • Slice open the package and drain out the water. Cut the block of tofu width-wise into however many slices you want — I like to do 4 or 6.

  • Lay about 5 paper towels on a plate or chopping board.

  • Spread the slices of tofu out in a single layer on top of the towels. Put more paper towels on top of the tofu. 

  • Pop another plate or chopping board on top, and then a heavy book.

  • Leave it like that for at least 15 mins before cooking.

  • Made this, sans oil, for 15

    Submitted by VeganAnni on 26. February 2016 - 16:39.

    Made this, sans oil, for 15 whole food plant based foodies (from http://www.wholefoodsplantbasedhealth.com.au/)  last weekend at Falls Creek, and they loved it! Chopping the drained tofu on speed 5 for a few seconds gave a crumbly texture before adding it to the onions. And using a salt free extra concentrated vege stock to sweat the onions added in extra flavour.I'll be making this again soon for my family!

    This was so yummy.  I really liked the zing of the lime.  I also couldn't find Kala Namak so I threw in smoked paprika.  I will make this again for sure.  Delicious!!!!

    Great recipe, thanks.  I have made it with both silken and firm tofu and it has worked both times.  I couldn't find kala namak so substituted with pink himalayan salt.  Delicious!

    Submitted by Msfayvan on 14. June 2015 - 13:16.

    great recipe! I crumbled some tofu and chunked the rest. I think I will crumble all of it next time as it takes up the flovours better. Thanks for the recipe.

  • This is the first time I've

    This is the first time I've  made tofu scramble. I didn't have kala namak  so just left it out. Delicious, lots of flavour and I'd make it again.
