Thermomix Chicken Powder Seasoning

Ingredients:

(I amended this recipe from the TMX cook book to suit my dietary needs. The recipe book used garlic and onion which I cannot have due to FODMAP. They used some spices and herbs too.)

1. 1000gm of minced chicken breast (I used minced instead of cut up chunks of chicken breasts to ensure faster cooking)
2. 300gm carrots (peeled and cut into chunks)
3. Chives (about 4 stalks)
4. 2 celery sticks
5. Sea-salt (about 100gm)
6. Coconut nectar (optional)
7. Sarawak white pepper powder (optional)

--------------------------------------

1. Place everything into the TMX jug.

2. Close the lid but not the MC.

3. Set 60minutes/Varoma/Speed 2.

4. Place the simmering basket above the cover to avoid any splattering of sauce.

5. Check on it occasionally.

6. If the mixture is still in paste form, set 10minutes/Varoma/Speed 2.

7. Repeat step 6 until paste has turned into powder.

8. Once it has turned into powder form, remove the simmering basket and cover with the MC. Set 10 seconds/Speed 8.

9. Scoop it up into a bottle and allow to cool.

10. Keep it in the fridge to ensure freshness. It can be kept in the fridge for a few months. You can add this chicken powder seasoning which is free of artificial flavourings and enhancers to your soup, dishes or congee/porridge.

Thermomix Chicken Floss

Ingredients:

1. Chicken meat from 1 whole free-range chicken used to boil soup OR 2 chicken breasts (make sure it's in small pieces so that it's easier for the TMX to shred it).
2. Sea-salt
3. Coconut nectar (OR Maple syrup for salicylate sensitive)
4. Pepper (optional)
5. Sesame oil (OR sunflower oil for salicylate sensitive)

---------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Place meat into TMX jug. Add all seasonings to the meat. Set to 40minutes/70C/speed 1.

2. If it's not dry enough, you might want to add some extra time (depending on how dry you want the floss to be).

3. The alternative way would be to place the chicken floss into the oven and bake it. You can preheat oven at 180C. Bake for another 1/2 hour or until golden brown.

4. You can add the floss to your porridge, rice, noodles or sandwich.

5. It can be kept longer in an airtight container placed in the fridge.

Bon appetit!

Napa Cabbage (Wombok or Chinese)

I found out that this cabbage (called Napa or Nappa, Wombok or Chinese cabbage) is low in FODMAP. Apparently, it is also low in salicylates (if it is not, please leave a comment).

I guess it's another addition to the food I can take. It seems to be loaded with vitamin C and calcium.

I boiled the Chinese cabbage with one whole kampung chicken in the pressure cooker. It was delicious.

Thermomix Millet Flakes

I have craved for corn flakes for a very long time.

Crave is an understatement.

PICA is more like it. 

The ones sold at the grocery stores have added flavourings, colourings and the usual ingredients that I can't have.

And then when I find the ones I can have, they are loaded with SUGAR!

So when I saw this in the grocery store, the wheels in my brain turned and I knew I had to try to make my own MILLET FLAKES!

 Ingredients:

1. 1000gm water
2. 260gm millet flakes
3. 5gm sea-salt

5. Spread paste onto baking tray as thinly as possible.

6. Preheat oven to 180C.

7. Bake for approximately 1 1/2 hours.

9. Bake for another hour. The whole sheet will be crunchy and crispy.

10. Allow to cool.

11. Break the millet sheet into small pieces.

12. Keep it in an airtight container.
