Main Dishes / Sweet & Sour Chicken
« on: February 13, 2012, 09:03:35 am »
Sweet & Sour Chicken:
Maybe 4:

Ingredients:
3cm piece of ginger
2 cloves garlic
1 large onion (sliced by hand or in TM - I prefer big long shapes so by hand)
20g Olive Oil
1 tablespoon raw sugar
4 tablespoons soy sauce
225g tin of pineapple
1 large carrot (sliced)
1 large red capsicum (sliced)
6 large mushrooms (roughly chopped)
1 tomato (roughly chopped)
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon vinegar
2 tablespoons corn flour
100ml water
600g chicken breast (diced)


Preparation:
Add ginger and garlic to TM bowl and chop 2 sec speed 7
You can also add onion in with ginger and garlic to be chopped if you have not sliced it by hand.
Add sliced onion and saute 3 minutes, Varoma, Reverse (only if you have used hand sliced onions), Speed 1

Add sugar, soy sauce, tinned pineapple including juice, sliced carrot, sliced capsicum, chopped mushrooms, tomato, tomato paste and vinegar. Cook 100 degrees, Reverse, speed 1, 7 minutes

Add chicken

Mix corn flour and water together in separate glass and pour as much as required into TM bowl. O find the consstency of the sauce varies depending on the size of tomatoes etc so it is a bit of a wait and see approach as to how much thickening is required with corn flour.

Cook a further 10 minutes, 100 degrees, Reverse, speed 1

Serve with steamed rice


Tips/Hints:
I don't know how authentic this recipe is but the flavours are very nice. I add whatever vegies I have in the fridge, ie some snow peas or corn

Hope you like it, this is my first recipe conversion so fingers crossed! I can't figure out how to add a picture, will post when I figure it out  :)

members' comments

bigTcup - Had this one - YUMM!  Didn't add mushrooms (I don't like them) & steamed broccolini, snowpeas & asparagus when I was cooking the rice.  I wanted to use baby corn instead of asparagus but the green grocer didn't have any.  Great, easy meal.  Will certainly be having this one again.

Disinterested - Made this whilst DW was out today and the kids said "this is yum you are nearly as good as mum".
One thing I did different was just chuck all the veggies in the pot and whiz them on full speed for a second or two.... beats choppin'.
Thanks for the recipe.

foodgroupie -  great week day meal!! family really enjoyed it, served with rice and steam veg, yum.

Questions? Technical Issues? The Survival Guide / crumbly pastry?!
« on: December 23, 2011, 03:42:43 am »
Please help!

I have just made the Almond Pastry from the EDC and now that it has cooked it is all crumbly, what have I done wrong?!

I put it into one large quiche/flan style tray to make a big lemon tart and now I can not remove it from the pan without it falling apart.

I have made it once before as little tart shells and they were fine.

Any suggestions appreciated, I need to figure it out before christmas day! :o)

Bread / Pizza dough - too elastic, what to do?!
« on: November 04, 2011, 08:57:26 am »
Hi there

I have tried to make pizza's a couple of times with 2 different recipes (from the EDC book and one slight variation on this) but each time I have found the dough to be really elastic and I try to roll/stretch it out for a thin base but it just pulls itself back in. How do you get it to stay thin/flat?

My pizza's are yummy but have a very thick bread like base, not quite what I am aiming for!

Many thanks  :)

Hi there

I have hosted a TM demo at my house this week and the October incentive for hosting was to be able to buy a 2nd bowl and blade set for $195, normally around $400.

Do you think it is worth spending the extra money on?

I'm not sure that I need one but it certainly is cheaper.

Many Thanks

Suggestions and Complaints / Is your TM noisy?
« on: October 17, 2011, 10:24:55 am »
Hi there,

I am relatively new to TM, I have had mine for a few months and really love it, but I am finding it quite noisy, to the point where my husband doesn't want to be in the kitchen/living room when it is operating.

I must admit, now that he has drawn my attention to it I can really notice it, it's like the motor sound just constantly grinding away.

Does this sound normal or could mine be faulty?

I wouldn't bother steaming rice or anything else that takes a while as I don't want to be listening to it for that amount of time!

It's starting to get me down a bit.

What  do you think?

Thanks!
