For infants and young children, the best food is to keep the original flavor, and "steaming" is the most consistent with this in all cooking methods. Steamed vegetables mainly use boiled water vapor as heat transfer medium to make food mature and keep the nutrition and original flavor of food to the maximum extent.
Many people think that the steamed things are tasteless and not delicious. In fact, steamed complementary food can also be delicious and varied. For babies whose taste is not open, authentic dishes are more conducive to their taste development. Here are some steamed complementary foods. You don't have to follow my ingredients exactly. The most important thing is to learn a method. The ingredients in it, especially vegetables, can be changed freely. Add vegetables that your baby usually doesn't like or eats less to the favorite eggs or meat to maintain a balanced nutrition.

This kind of fish cake tastes very soft, and babies over 8 months can eat it. If the egg white has not been added, you don't need to put it.

2. Pour oats into the soaked formula or milk.
3. Pour all the materials into the cooking machine or food supplement machine and stir well.
Suitable age: more than 8 months
Description:
1, bananas taste better, pumpkins and tofu are weaker, and bananas can increase sweetness. Because oats and tofu are added, it tastes a little QQ. Oats belong to coarse grains. Although coarse grains are good, babies under 1 should eat less.
I used instant oatmeal, so I didn't cook it again. If it's not instant oatmeal, I can cook it with milk for a while. Pay attention to the choice of oatmeal.
This is a good dessert. It is good to have breakfast in the automatic restaurant early in the morning or dessert in the afternoon.

Exercise:
1. Cherries are soaked in salt water 10 minutes, washed and pitted.
2. Wash the red dates, remove the core, pour in about 100 ml of water, and steam them with rice in a rice cooker.
Suitable age: more than 8 months
Description:
1, I chose to steam the baby's rice bowl directly with the rice in the rice cooker, or steam it in the rice cooker by stewing. If you don't want to steam, you can cook it directly in water. Boil the cherries, red dates and water in a pot, and simmer for 10 minute.
2, remember to remove the red jujube skin for the baby, otherwise it will be easy to choke. Cherry peel depends on the baby's chewing ability. My family didn't eat it when I was a child. The baby needs to make it more elaborate.
It's time for cherry to go public. Cherry is rich in nutritional value, with iron content ranking first among fruits and rich in vitamins. Cherry and red dates are cooked together, which tastes sour and sweet, and the cherry meat becomes very soft and rotten, which is very suitable for making small desserts. If the baby loves sweets, you can try this, which is much healthier than other desserts.

After I roll the baby first, I put some oil consumption and soy sauce in the meat sauce, and then cook it in the same way, which is what we adults eat. Mom said she was so witty that she just didn't want to confuse babies with adults. Because starch is added to the meat, it has the effect of tenderizing the meat, so it won't feel like firewood when you bite it.

Well, mom said:
Many people always ask me how to make complementary food. It's really troublesome to make complementary food. Yes, to be honest, I am good at baby education and psychology, but people really can't be perfect. I am a food supplement myself. I understand all the basic points, but it's really not what I'm interested in. I just hope my parents or in-laws can help me if they are here. So every time I see the mothers in our Mommy OK parenting exchange group show their complementary food works, I always want to praise them, which is really awesome. So is Mike's mother. She has always been very experienced in making complementary food. Although the picture is not beautiful, it is the most practical and helpful for everyone. Just follow the trend.
