Mothers are so busy in the kitchen that they have to take into account the baby's unique taste and ensure adequate nutrition. Many people who are engaged in the role of mothers believe that making complementary foods for babies is a troublesome and troublesome task.
Especially for meats and soups, if the heat is slightly inaccurate, it will either become too old for the baby to bite, or a large part of the nutrients will be lost.
In fact, if you have an electric stew pot at home, many problems can be solved easily.
The method of stewing in water is used to maintain the temperature below the boiling point, which can retain the original flavor and nutrition of the ingredients to the greatest extent. The stewed soup is clear and tender, and the meat is soft and tender, which is very suitable for the baby's delicate stomach.
Today I will share with you a few recipes that I often make for my babies in a water-proof stew pot. The ingredients are simple and simple, and the steps are very clear. Even a first-time mother can easily start the operation.
Peach Gum Tremella Pitaya Sweet Soup
I often make this sweet soup for my baby as an afternoon snack.
There are ingredients that need to be prepared, that is, a small handful of peach gum that has been soaked in water until it has softened, half a white fungus, and half a red dragon fruit.
When processing peach gum, first soak it in cold water for 10 to 12 hours until there is no hard core in the middle, and then carefully pick out the impurities attached to it.
Soak white fungus in cold water for 1 hour, remove the roots and tear into small florets.
Put the processed peach gum and white fungus into the stew pot together, and add water just enough to cover the ingredients.
Place the stew pot into the outer pot of the electric stew pot, and add water to the outer pot until the water level is two-thirds of the height of the stew pot. Many mothers are worried that the water will overflow into the stew pot when it boils. You can put a piece of baking paper on the bottom of the stew pot to prevent vibration and boiling.
Select dessert mode and simmer for 2 hours.
Until 10 minutes before the end of the program, cut the dragon fruit into small cubes and put it into the stew pot, simmer for a while and then you can eat it.
Dragon fruit has its own sweetness, so it is not recommended to add additional sugar, which is healthier.
Steamed egg with mushroom and meat paste
This dish is considered my "lazy" artifact. It contains meat and eggs, and is very nutritionally balanced.
Cut about 100 grams of pork tenderloin into small pieces, put two or three pre-soaked shiitake mushrooms into a food processor, add a little low-sodium light soy sauce specially designed for babies, then add a few spoons of water, and beat into a fine paste.
Then, place the pureed meat on the bottom of the stew pot, then use a spoon to press it flat, and then smash a fresh egg directly on top of it.
Be careful not to stir, to keep the eggs intact.
Finally, pour a few drops of light soy sauce on the eggs.
Put the stew pot into the electric stew pot, add water to the outer pot, select the meat program, and set the timer 30 minutes .
Because the meat paste is spread out, it conducts heat very quickly and is cooked through in half an hour.
When it comes out of the pot, you can find that the egg white has solidified, and it has wrapped the minced meat. The texture is very tender and smooth, and there is no woody feeling at all. Babies especially love to eat it.
Yacon carrot and fish bone soup
When you want to supplement calcium for your baby or change the taste, you can try this fish bone soup.
The fish bones that can be used are crucian carp with less spines or bones of Anhui fish. After buying it, wash it to make it clean, and use kitchen paper to absorb the moisture on the surface. Then, use a little oil in a pan to fry it until both sides turn golden. This step can effectively remove the fishy smell.
First, peel the yacon, then peel the carrots, and then cut them into hob pieces. However, the yacon is easy to oxidize and turn black after cutting, so you can also blanch it in boiling water first.
Put the fried fish bones, yacon pieces, and carrot pieces into the stew pot together with one or two candied dates and two slices of ginger.
Add enough boiling water, cover and place in the electric saucepan.
choose Soup mode , slow cooker 2 hours .
After taking it out of the pot, the soup will be milky white in color and taste sweet. You only need to add a little salt to taste.
There is no greasy feeling in this soup. The sweetness of yacon and the sweetness of carrots are perfectly blended. Babies usually won’t refuse it.
Fish maw, keel and stomach nourishing soup
The fish maw is rich in collagen, and the keel, which is the pork spine, can supplement calcium. This combination is suitable for older children. Drinking it once a week has a good effect on the spleen and stomach.
Fish maw needs to be soaked in cold water for six hours in advance, then scalded slightly in boiling water, taken out and cut into small pieces.
Rinse the keel with boiling water and soak it for one minute to remove the blood.
Select the fish maw, dragon bones, and a few slices of Ganoderma lucidum (you can also replace them with red dates and longan, which will taste sweeter), put them into a stew pot, and simmer for about 3 hours through water.
Because the fish maw will melt if simmered for a long time, so the time must be controlled.
After stewing, add appropriate amount of salt according to taste.
The soup tastes very mellow and full of gelatin, but not greasy at all.
Cold Melon Stuffed Pork Soup
The weather is hot in summer and children are prone to getting angry. You can try this cold melon stuffed broth.
Bitter melon, also called bitter melon, has the effect of clearing away heat and removing internal heat.
First, wash the melon and cut it into circular segments about 5 cm long. Then, use a small spoon to scoop out the melon seeds and pulp to make them clean.
The pork needs to be minced, the mushrooms need to be minced, and the garlic cloves need to be minced as well. Then put them all into a bowl, then add the fresh dew, light soy sauce, and pepper, and then stir them until they are even and finally make the meat filling.
After that, stuff the meat filling into the processed cold melon segments, carefully place the cold melon segments filled with meat filling into the stew pot, add water, the amount of water should be enough to cover the ingredients, and then add an appropriate amount of salt.
Place it in an electric stew pot, first heat it over high heat over water for about 20 minutes, then reduce to low heat and continue simmering for half an hour.
The bitter melon absorbs the umami flavor contained in the gravy, and its bitterness is greatly reduced. The soup tastes refreshing and has a sweet aftertaste, which is very suitable for cooling off in the summer.
Bawanghuazhu Zhanrou Lung Soup
This soup is very helpful for relieving autumn dryness and moisturizing the lungs. It is what my family often makes when the seasons change.
Take 2 taels of Bawang flowers, soak them in advance and wash them; take 12 taels of pork belly, cut into large pieces, blanch them in boiling water to remove blood; prepare 4 candied dates.
Put all the ingredients into a stew pot and add appropriate amount of water.
Boil over water for approx. 2 hours , until about four to five bowls of soup remain, and finally add salt to taste.
The soup made from the Bawang flower, which has no special taste, is very clear and moist. After simmering the pork belly for a long time, the meat becomes so soft that even babies can chew it.
Using a water-proof stew pot to make complementary food for your baby is actually not as complicated as you might think.
During the whole process, you don’t need to stay next to the stove all the time, you don’t have to worry about the pot drying out, and you won’t be bothered by oily smoke.
It should be noted that stewing in water will prevent the nutrients in the ingredients from being lost, and the food produced will have a soft and waxy texture, which is very suitable for babies.
If you don't already have this small appliance at home, it is highly recommended to buy one. You will find that cooking food for your baby becomes much easier.
