Ok this particular day the kids were no where to be found all day and then at the last minute no one but Steve and I were home for dinner! A very rare occasion in our house! So it was a matter of what do you want for dinner? Thermomix to the rescue yet again! Thermomix Thai Seasoned Chicken thighs and some steamed vegetables, while we enjoyed a glass of wine. 🙂
Cooking in the Varoma:
The trick is to layer your veggies in order of cooking times needed. Place denser vegetables like potatoes, carrots and pumpkin on the bottom layer leaving the top tray for peas, corn, broccoli and beans – ensuring that not all of the vent holes are covered. You can also put denser vegetables in the steaming basket in the TM bowl to ensure that you get more room in the Varoma for your meat.

This was delicious! My hubby needed some “CARBS” with this meal, I added the kantong rice noodles to the TM basket and cooked while the rest was going! yummy addition! Thank you for all your hard work! 🙂
Thanks Carly – pleased you enjoyed it. Great idea re the rice noodles too! 🙂
I made it last night. It was delicious but I didn’t use thai spice I used one I get from a spice shop. The chicken was cooked but some pieces were tough so maybe they weren’t cooked thoroughly, I’m not sure. I did the extra 10 mins instead of 5. All in all very nice though and I would love other simple recipes like that. Thanks and cheers, SUE
