Thermomix ‘Fried’ Rice - Quirky Cooking
Fried Rice in the Thermomix

This is a very easy, quick and healthy way to make a big batch of fried rice. It easily feeds our family of six, with leftovers. The rice, veggies and egg are actually steamed – no oil is needed. You can use basmati rice and it will cook in about 20 minutes, or with brown rice it will cook in 35 minutes. And you don’t have to stand there stirring! Thanks to my friend Nancy for teaching me this method years ago with bacon and veggies – there’s lots of possible variations, so be creative and make up your own versions too. You can use as much meat and veggies as will fit in the Varoma – I’ve just given some suggestions, not definite amounts.

[Update for TM5!!] If you own a TM5, just make sure you add an extra 100g water to the bowl when you make this, as the bowl is bigger and needs that bit more water for the rice to cook through properly.]

Fried Rice in the Thermomix

Print Recipe
  • Author: Quirky Cooking

Ingredients

Scale

1 onion, halved, or spring onions, quartered

1 clove organic garlic

4 eggs

400g coconut milk

500g water (for basmati rice) or 700g water (for brown rice)* (see note for TM5)

400g of raw basmati or brown rice (or less if you want a smaller batch)

100g – 200g of cubed chicken, fish, bacon, or some shelled prawns

2 carrots, sliced or julienned

1–2 stalks celery, sliced

And some of the following

broccoli/cauliflower florets

kohlrabi, peeled and thinly sliced

cabbage, shredded

spinach/silverbeet/bok choy, sliced

frozen peas & corn

cashews/slivered almonds/sesame seeds

fine sea salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Place onion or spring onions and garlic into Thermomix bowl and chop 4 sec/sp 5. Remove to Varoma dish.
  2. Place eggs into bowl and mix 5 sec/sp 3. Line Varoma tray with a large piece of wet baking paper (so that paper overlaps sides of tray approx. 2 cm) and pour eggs into tray. Set aside.
  3. Rinse bowl. Weigh coconut milk and water into bowl and place lid on top.
  4. Place rice basket on top of lid, and weigh the rice into the basket. Rinse well under running water, then insert basket into bowl.
  5. Place Varoma into position, and start cooking – 20 mins (basmati) or 35 mins (brown)/Varoma temp/sp 4.
  6. While rice begins cooking, chop up meat and/or veggies, placing it into the Varoma as you go, harder veggies and meat on the bottom, softer veggies and nut/seeds on top. (The steam will not begin cooking what’s in the Varoma until about 10 mins into cooking time, so you have time to get it all in the dish before then. Replace Varoma lid after each addition.)
  7. Check after 20 mins to see if everything is cooked. (With brown rice, just add the veggies and eggs when there’s only 15 minutes left to go, so they don’t overcook.)
  8. Remove Varoma and place lid underneath.  Remove rice basket using spatula, and tip rice into Varoma bowl.  Add the meat and veggies. Slice the egg up in tray (see photo below) and tip into Varoma bowl with rice.  Season with some tamari sauce / soy sauce / sweet chilli sauce, mix together gently, and serve!

Notes

  • Poke a hole through the meat and veggies in the Varoma, so that the steam can get through easily.
  • Don’t pack the Varoma too tightly or the meat and veggies may not cook well.
  • * If you own a TM5, add another 100g water, or rice may not cook through properly due to larger bowl size.

  • Serving Size: 6

    Wonderful recipe!!! I didn’t remove egg immediately from paper so it stuck, which actually caused quite an issue.
    But other than that…:) super yummy!

    The first time, ever,I have cooked Fried Rice (as my gorgeous Mum makes a delicious one and I’ve never wanted to try as it could never replicate hers )! But…..Oh my, I so love this dish Jo, so much so that I’m even going to cook it for Mum ! I’d also not cooked eggs in the Varoma before,well I’m converted 🙂 Thank you !

Still relatively new to my Thermomix and have been caught up with too many not so good for you recipes. A friend told me today about all the things she’s cooked from your page…yummm thanks so much for sharing ��

    Jo, I’ve only had my tmx for two days, and I’ve just made this tonight. Kids didn’t like it but they don’t like dinner at the best of times! Hubby loved it (had seconds) and said he would be happy to take it to work to share with “the guys”, I think the veg was a little under done, as was the egg, but I’ll just make it smaller/put it on sooner next time. Thumbs up here 😀

    Hi Jo

    Am so excited as my TM was delivered yesterday, so today has been a cooking day!! I have spent the last week “fixed” to your site reading and salivating over your fantastic recipes.
    Our first meal cooked in the TM tonight is going to be the Butter Chicken EDC accompanied by your fried rice as it sounds delicious. I was however, reading your menu plans and read that you reheat the Fried Rice in the TM. Can you please let me know how you do this, as l am planning on making enough for a couple of meals (only cooking for Hubby & I) and have always found it difficult to reheat. Thanks SOOO much for your great site and all the info. I am looking forward to making so many things with my new TM. Also looking forward to getting your new Cookbook. Sue W

    I love this recipe, except the egg always gets stuck to the paper. Do you waxed BP or plain? I did try waxed first but found it didn’t cook the eggs. Any suggestions? TIA!

      Use silicone baking paper. Scrunch it up and run under the tap and squeeze it out.. I make this all the time (and use this method to line tins with rounded corners too). My eggs never stick.

    I’m making this tonight and I’m unsure what im doing wrong but I’ve been cooking the rice an hour and a half and it’s still not done. I followed the directions for brown rice with the extra time and liquid but it’s just not cooking! Any ideas? There is plenty of steam and my vegies were cooked fine.

    I made this last night for the first time, veggie’s only then added BBQ chicken that I had. Only thing is my egg was green & yellow, which was random, I didn’t add the egg but threw it out, it didn’t smell but the colour threw me, would broccoli discolour the egg or were they off? They were fresh backyard eggs from a friend. From a very unmotivated TM user (but I’m trying :))

      Hi Natalie- Im not sure. Mine aren’t usually bright orange colours either as when they steam the colour does fade to a lighter colour, but I wouldn’t say green and yellow either.. HMM.. A mystery? Maybe give it another go! 🙂

      I cringe everytime i make fried rice but making it in my thermie made it sooo simple and this recipe was absolutely amazing. I made it with brown rice as hubby prefers and i made it for his work lunches. I literally had to try stop myself from eating it all.
      My egg did go a little rubbery so next time ill make sure its not in for longer.

      Hi Amy! 🙂 Yes, you can put the minced chicken into the Varoma and you will still need to cook the recipe for the same amount of time. Enjoy! xx

      If cooking with black rice, make sure you soak for 12 to 24 hours prior to cooking;-). Otherwise it will take forever!!!

      Hi Michelle, I would suggest just checking whether rice and everything else is cooked along the way. Rice usually needs to cook for 20 mins hence even if cooking less, you would roughly be looking at similar cooking time:-). So happy your kids love the recipe. Yay:-)!

{Ruby Red Grapefruit Pie} Wednesday isn’t too ea {Ruby Red Grapefruit Pie} Wednesday isn’t too early to start thinking of treats for the weekend, is it? 😄 Citrus is in abundance right now, so if you’re like me and have ruby red grapefruits piled up on your bench top, you should definitely try this pie. It’s arguably my favourite recipe in our Life-Changing Food cookbook and I will shout its praises every citrus season til my dying day!!

Grapefruit pie is a local favourite in South Texas (USA) and in ruby red grapefruit season you’ll find it served at
little roadside barbecue joints where they guard the recipe closely! I only know about it because my parents are Texan and lived in South Texas for years… but this recipe is way too good to hide away. The pie's crunchy crust holds big, juicy sections of ruby red grapefruit set in a sweet citrus jelly, and it's not bitter, because the grapefruit pith is removed. 

Some versions have a layer of cream cheese spread over the pastry under the grapefruit and jelly, to protect the crust from getting soggy, and this also acts as a creamy foil to the tangy fruit and crunchy crust. I love it best this way - I use cream cheese or labne, or I make cashew cream cheese for a dairy-free version. The traditional accompaniment is a big dollop of fresh whipped cream (which is always sweetened in Texas, but I prefer it unsweetened), or use coconut cream if you’re avoiding dairy. And don't panic filleting the grapefruit - once you get the hang of it, it's quite easy. And if your pieces turn out a little mangled and messy, don't worry, it will taste just as amazing!

You can find the recipe in our Life-Changing Food cookbook* or app AND I’ll be making this recipe and sharing it on my next podcast video THIS FRIDAY  on my citrus episode, so keep an eye out for that! (Subscribe to my newsletter to get all the latest videos as they are released - link in bio.)

{Herb & Cheese Fatayer} I promised to share how we {Herb & Cheese Fatayer} I promised to share how we made these little cheesy-eggy grain-free pastries, so here you go!

- Make a batch of Grain-Free Dough (recipe in Life-Changing Food, or buy the pastry premade from Primal Alternative, or you can use the Almond Meal Pastry on my blog)
- Mix together 300-400g quark (or mashed feta) and 4-5 eggs (whisked)
- Roughly chop some flat-leaf parsley, chives and mint (and finely chopped onion if you like), add zest of 1 lemon and mix through egg mixture, then season with salt and pepper
- flatten a circle of dough in your hands (about 10cm diameter and about 5mm thick) and shape into fatayer (like a little boat), then set onto lined baking trays
- fill fatayer with egg mixture
- bake in 200C oven for 15-20 mins or until pastry is browned and mixture has set firm

I keep these in the fridge/freezer and warm them up for a quick breakfast or lunch!

Yesterday I shared my Monday cooking videos in my Yesterday I shared my Monday cooking videos in my stories (let me know if you missed them and want me to re-share), and one of the questions I had afterwards was this one ⬆️ - “Can you share ‘What we ate this week’ day in the life style? And what is made fresh, prepared ahead, and from the freezer”. 

Why not, I said! So I’ve been taking photos of my food even more than usual 😂 like a photographic food diary, and it’s sometimes boring and sometimes delicious and sometimes weird, but you’re welcome to follow along if you like!! 😁

Today’s “day on a plate” in pictures: 

Breakfast: herb & cheese fatayer (grain-free pastry from Life-Changing Food filled with a mixture of quark, eggs, herbs and lemon zest - will share recipe in another post) - made yesterday and stored in fridge/freezer, heated in grill and eaten on the run with coffee 😁

Lunch: savoury mince from Simple, Healing Food (made yesterday, with a lot of cabbage added because we needed to use it 😄), fermented daikon radish (grown on the organic farm where Simi works), and Camembert cheese (made at a local dairy)

Snacks: Peanut butter chocolate fudge 😁 recipe on the blog ❤️ (and tea)

Dinner: Broccoli & cauliflower bake (from Simple, Healing Food except with cheese on top rather than macadamia “cheese” - prepared yesterday, stored in fridge then baked in oven tonight), steak & veggies - kids had fish instead of steak … I made lots as the leftovers are for work lunches tomorrow 😊

Before bed: probably another cuppa tbh but last night was beet kvass - I don’t think I’ll do that again right before bed though, it was a bit too strong before bed 😄

I don’t know if any of this will be at all helpful, but I guess it will show that I’m not always perfect and I don’t always stick to my meal plan and my food isn’t always “instagrammable” 😄 and that’s ok! 🤗 

PS My meal plan for the week is at the end - links are in my newsletter sent out on Monday. ❤️

I had so much work planned to do today, but at 6am I had so much work planned to do today, but at 6am I decided it was much more important to drive down the mountain and spend the day eating good food and drinking amazing local coffee with our dear friends visiting from Melbourne. 😍❤️ Have you heard of the 5 years rule? In 5 years time, no one is going to remember the housework didn’t get done today, the newsletter didn’t get written, the washing didn’t get put away, or the dinner was very basic. But we WILL remember this beautiful day spent with family and friends. ❤️

Did you see my latest podcast video? 😃 “Cooki Did you see my latest podcast video? 😃 “Cooking with Seasonal Produce - 2 Winter Meals You’ll Love!” 

From this… to this! 😍

On this live, 1 hour video I made:

- Gypsy Stew (with chicory leaves, bok choy, tomatoes, Spanish onions, Russian garlic, a red chilli, lemon juice, chicken stock & chicken breast, ghee, salt & pepper - forgot the flat-leaf parsley 🙄)

- Beef & Cabbage Soup (with brown onion, Russian garlic, tomatoes, carrots, cabbage, zucchini, fresh parsley & oregano, thyme, sage, tomato paste, red wine vinegar, honey, salt, pepper, chicken stock and just 300g beef mince for a meal that feeds 6-8 adults!)

- Pumpkin, Cauliflower & Leek Mash (made with the above plus coconut cream, ghee, salt & pepper), to serve dolloped into the Beef & Cabbage Soup

- Herb-Roasted Chicken (with the chicken pieces from making the stock)

I fed 8 people last night (the kids & their friends plus Simi twice 🤣) and they licked their bowls clean! 😁 (Practically!) And there were plenty of leftovers for work lunches and dinners today. 🎉🎉

So, did you see my latest podcast video showing ho So, did you see my latest podcast video showing how I meal plan to use up the produce I have on hand each week? 😃🍋🥒🥑🥕🍌🥦 Here’s my lunch today, with some of the produce & ideas shown in the video… 

- baked sweet potatoes (I bake a few whole in their skins & keep in the fridge to add to meals), sliced & pan-fried in ghee with homemade butter (from cream that was nearly out of date & needing to be used), sprinkled with the a sesame seed/nigella seed spice blend (Everything Bagel Blend by @gewurzhaus)

- a cheat’s version of pickled beetroot (boiled, sliced, drizzled with apple cider vinegar and stored in the fridge for up to a couple of weeks)

- smoky baba ghanouj on the side (I had SO many eggplants & my sister made this with some of them) - recipe in Life-Changing Food

- homemade sauerkraut (I always have jars of kraut & fermented veggies in the fridge - such a great way to preserve an abundance of veggies, & so good for your gut!!) - recipes in Simple, Healing Food

An inexpensive and delicious meal using locally grown, in season, pesticide-free produce from my CSA box ❤️

Need some inspiration to help you use up the produce in your fridge? Check out my latest podcast, do a “fridge audit”, make a list of ideas, plan your meals for the week, and save yourself some money!!
