      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.

Spicy Chicken Soup (Tom Yum Gai) - replace prawns with 400g chicken fillets (breast or thigh) cut into 2cm pieces and cook in basket as per the recipe for 13 minutes and continue with the rest of the recipe.

Spicy Pork Soup (Tom Yum Mu) and Spicy Beef Soup (Tom Yum Nua) - replace prawns with 300g sliced meat strips and cook in basket as per the recipe for 11 minutes and continue with the rest of the recipe.

    Yum yum. I made this with chicken thighs, I used 5 small birds eye chillies, added extra lemon juice at the end. It was so good, definitely going to make this again. Numb lips and a runny nose, awesome

    This recipe is amazing!  I made the chicken version.  I did add about 1 teaspoon tamarind paste and ened up using 2 limes (juiced) extra.  Thank you for sharing.  I'm going to be making this one again.

    Submitted by ChrisHazel on 25. September 2016 - 19:05.

    Delicious soup. I added some wontons, some udon noodles, shreded carrot and zucchini. I used chicken instead of prawns. I also added about a tablespoon of sweet soy.  I reduced the lemon juice to 30ml.  Lovely flavour and top marks from my husband.

    Great flavours however will use lots more chilli as not spicy enough. Added rice vermicelli to bowls at serving. If you do this I suggest you make double the amount of broth. This way it make a complete meal.

    A beautiful soup with definite authentic flavours! In saying that, next time I think I'll minimise the ginger - a ginger lover through and through, it's just a little too strong.

    I also found I had to add 20g palm sugar to give it the sweet & sour taste.

    Awesome! I made this as an entree for a dinner party of 8. Was delicious, super easy and everyone was totally impressed. Will hit regular rotation at my place, perhaps with chicken for the kids, but so great! Might add more Veges and some rice vermicelli another time for fun.Thanks so much.

    Wow!!  This is a fabulous recipe.  Just made it and wont bother getting it takeaway again.  Just as the title says, authentic.  I made the prawn one but I cant wait to do the other variations.  This is a great way of spicing up my chicken bone broths.  Thanks tmrc_emoticons.)
