Thermomix Hainanese Chicken Rice

This is a reblog from the original post back in 2012. I bought my Thermomix back in 2011, which means I’ve had it for 9 years now…wow! I used to do a segment called ‘Thermomix Thursdays’ and it might be time to bring it back. I’ve had the opportunity to upgrade my old TM31 to one of the new fancy ones, but considering how much I use it, I could never justify the price, so I haven’t. I either use it lots or not at all. So bringing back a weekly post will make sure I’m using it and trying new recipes. 

This is my 100% hands down favourite dish to cook in the Thermomix though. I love that you can steam the chicken up top and cook the rice down bottom at the same time. I find the flavours to be authentic, the chicken nice and juicy, and an all round comforting meal.
