Main Ingredients- Broccoli, appropriate amount (adjust according to your baby’s portion size)
- Potato, 1/4 medium size
- Rice, 1 serving (based on your baby’s usual amount)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Wash the fresh broccoli thoroughly under running water. Blanch it in boiling water for 1-2 minutes, then rinse under cold water to cool it down. This helps maintain its vibrant color and preserves nutrients. Finely chop the blanched broccoli into pieces small enough for your baby to eat. If your baby has trouble chewing, it’s best to mash it.
Step 2
Peel the potato and rinse it under running water. To ensure a smooth texture that’s easy for your baby to swallow, grate the potato finely. Make sure to grate it thoroughly so there are no lumps.
Step 3
Wash the rice and soak it, then grind it finely in a blender until it resembles rice flour. This will make the baby food smooth and ensure it cooks well. You can also use pre-made rice flour for convenience.
Step 4
Place the ground rice in a pot and add an appropriate amount of water. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring continuously with a spatula to prevent sticking. If the rice burns to the bottom of the pot, it can affect the taste and texture of the baby food, so be careful.
Step 5
Once the rice begins to boil, add the grated potato to the pot and stir well. Continue stirring gently to incorporate the potato smoothly with the rice.
Step 6
Finally, add the finely chopped broccoli and stir until all ingredients are well combined. Ensure the broccoli is cooked thoroughly so it’s soft and not crunchy.
Step 7
Continue to stir over low heat until the potato is fully cooked and the baby food reaches your desired consistency. Adjust the thickness to a soft, smooth texture that your baby can easily eat. Serve this nutritious and delicious broccoli and potato baby food warm in a cute baby bowl! Let it cool before feeding your baby.
