One-Stop Meal: Rice, Meat, and Vegetables!
Today, little Huahua said, 'Mommy, I want mashed potato salad!'
A sudden thought popped into my mind – a brilliant idea!
I said, 'Let's work together today to make something delicious! Something even better than potato salad?'
Then I first boiled the potatoes in a pressure cooker; they're really difficult to cook. If you use a regular pot, you'd better peel and slice them to boil quicker. Let the child participate in making food, so they'll be more interested in eating it.
I also asked her what vegetables she likes, and I took out spinach and broccoli. She said both are fine, so I put both in. It's a great way to engage her!
This meatball recipe is suitable for babies 9 months and older, and older children can also eat it; it's all about letting them do something, don't think they can't do anything just because you haven't let them try it. She doesn't usually like vegetables, but today when I let her choose, she said she wants both!
Meatball with Vegetables
Reference Age
9 months and above
(For babies who are not allergic to the following ingredients)
Ingredients
THE FOODS
Meat floss in moderation
(One-year-olds can use flavored meat floss)
Potatoes 100g
Vegetables 50g
1
Wash the potatoes, peel and slice them, and boil them in a pressure cooker. If using a regular pot, peel and slice them and cover with a lid to steam.
2
Boil spinach and broccoli (50g) in a pot, then take them out and chop them.
3
Spinach cooks quickly, so chop it up after taking it out
4
Broccoli needs to be cooked for a longer time; after cooking, chop it too. You can cover the pot and let her pull the lid a few times – praise her strength, or let her dad and child make it together
5
I put the vegetables and potatoes in a dish and let the child mix them together themselves
6
Put a spoonful of potatoes, vegetables, and some meat floss in a bag. For babies under one year old, use sugar-free and salt-free meat floss. I used meat floss with seaweed and sesame flavor, which tastes great
7
Just twist the bag a few times to make a meatball – it's super simple
Little Snippets of Thoughts
1Potatoes must be steamed; peel and slice them and cover them with plastic wrap or a lid, otherwise they'll be very soggy
2You can mix potatoes with carrots, spinach, broccoli, scrambled eggs, etc.
