    I needed a quick dinner with minimal fuss. This is it. It’s such a great, healthy, delicious and versatile option. And, I was able to help the guy at Woolworths offload the large outer lettuce leaves he was about to throw away.

    Finally a thermo SCB recipe that we really enjoyed!! I think the trick is using the steamer basket for the mince so its not mushy.
    Served it with bean vermicelli to bulk it up a bit 😀

    Great all rounder recipe - delicious with lettuce or rice or noodle (or on rice and lettuce!). Also good for fussy eaters who don't like to eat big chunks of veggies. I'll be sure to make this again!

    This is a regular on our dinner rotation but I use chicken mince instead of pork. Absolutely love how fresh it tastes and the recipe makes enough to put another serve in the freezer (which defrosts really well!) Thanks Leonie ♥

    Pork San Choy Bau. Made slightly different. No carrot so used capsicum and celery - slightly wetter mix so needed to thicken with cornflour and cook a bit longer. Added fresh turmeric as we have lots just out of the garden. No lettuce so served over Asian noodles. Served with fresh coriander, chopped spring onion and lime squeezed over top. Very tasty dish.

      Thanks Marion. I love the idea of serving it over Asian noodles for a change. :)

        I served it over rice the next time. Good too.

          Thanks Marion - works perfectly over rice - great for the times we don't have lovely large crisp lettuce leave on hand!

    I made this tonight. Made a bigger size so doubled the ingredients and used the Chinese Cooking Wine instead of white and it was delicious. We had not had it before so were a bit unsure of how we were going to eat it with the Lettuce leaves so I made Hokkien Noodles on the side. They were great to eat after catching all the mince that fell from our lettuce while eating.

FAQs

What is the Kettle mode on the Thermomix? ›

With Kettle mode, you can heat as little as 100 ml of water or up to 1.8 L of water to temperatures between 37-100°C. Select your target temperature, and your TM6 will alert you when the water is finished heating. Use this mode exclusively to heat water to avoid overboiling. To heat other liquids, use Warm Up mode.

What is kneading mode on Thermomix? ›

With its clockwise and counter clockwise blade rotations and pauses, the Dough mode mimics the motion of kneading your dough by hand. In just 2 minutes, TM6 performs the equivalent of 10 minutes of kneading by hand.

Why do chefs use Thermomix? ›

As you can see, I use the Thermomix to do nearly everything. It gives you the perfect texture, allows for 70% less in preparation time, and above all, delivers on precision and consistency for each and every recipe. I've had people say, more than once, 'I don't need a Thermomix, I'm a good cook'.

What is egg boiling mode Thermomix? ›

With Egg Boiler mode, enjoy eggs cooked to perfection with the touch of a button! Take 2 to 6 eggs out of the fridge, place them in the mixing bowl, add water and choose between 5 different cooking levels (on a sliding scale from soft to hard) then start the mode! Making the perfect eggs couldn't be easier!

How does filter kettle work? ›

The super stylish Russell Hobbs Purity Kettle has a built-in Brita water filter system that reduces limescale and chlorine, and permanently absorbs any copper and lead that could occur in tap water. Over time, these chemicals can sometimes leave residue or a bad taste in your hot drink.

What are the benefits of temperature control kettle? ›

The process takes just a few minutes – much quicker than using the stove. A temperature-controlled kettle allows you to heat water to different levels and to maintain those levels as long as you need it to.

How does hot kettle work? ›

An electric kettle plugs into an outlet and uses electricity to power an integrated heating element, rather than using a stovetop burner to heat water. Electric kettles come with a power base that uses electrical current to send heat energy directly into the kettle (though not all electric kettles have a separate base.

What does kitchen kettle mean? ›

A kettle is a pot made for boiling water. Most kettles are metal, with a lid and a spout. If you're in the mood for a cup of tea, it might be time to "put the kettle on." You can use the word kettle to mean "metal cooking pot," although it's mostly used for the kind you use to make your tea or instant soup.
