How to make pea baby food?

As we all know, babies can be fed with breast milk from the moment they are born, and when the baby is about one year old, we can start considering weaning. Although this process seems very uncomfortable, and sometimes the baby cries loudly just to get breastfeeding, for the sake of the baby's future health, the mother must be ruthless during the weaning period. After weaning, you can give your baby some complementary food. So, how to make pea baby complementary food?

Ingredients: 6 shrimps, 50g tofu, 25 peas, 20g carrots, 1 egg white, 10g flour, 2g salt, and appropriate amount of ginger. Slice the carrots and cook along with the peas. It is safer to cook the food your baby eats before steaming it. Also, the shrimps should not be steamed for too long, otherwise they will be too overcooked and not chewy enough. If you are concerned about the tofu, you can also boil it for 5 minutes first.

Shell the shrimp and remove the upper and lower shrimp threads. The shrimps must be cleaned thoroughly. The third section of the shrimp is the weak point. It is easy to peel off the shell if you remove the third section first. There are also two shrimp threads, one above and one below. Remember to clean them thoroughly. The shelled shrimps can be marinated with lemon or ginger slices to remove the fishy smell. Some babies may not like the taste of lemon, so mixing it with ginger slices and leaving it for about 15 minutes can effectively remove the fishy smell.

Chop carrots and peel peas. Chopping the cooked carrots into small pieces will make them easier for the baby to digest. If the baby is older and has a stronger chewing ability, the peas do not need to be peeled. It is more convenient to use a toothpick to peel the peas. Use the toothpick to cut the pea skin and then squeeze it gently to squeeze out the peas inside. Scrape the shrimp into shrimp paste and chop it with the back of the knife. If you want the shrimp to be chewy, first use a knife to carefully scrape it into a paste at an angle of about 30 degrees, then chop it with the back of the knife for a while until the shrimp meat is a little sticky.

Put all the prepared ingredients together and stir them in one direction with chopsticks. Babies over 10 months old can also eat this complementary food, but it is best not to add salt for babies under 15 months old. The ability of young babies to metabolize salt is not sufficient, so it is best to add salt to babies over 14 months old. Flour and egg white can make all the ingredients stick together better. If you want it to be more chewy, you can use starch instead of flour. For babies who are allergic to egg white, water can be used instead of egg white. If water is used, some flour can be added appropriately.

Place it in a container, flatten it, cover it with a plate and steam it for 10 minutes. After stirring vigorously, put all the ingredients into a container. To prevent sticking, you can put a piece of silicone baking paper in the container. After the water boils, put the container in to steam. To prevent the soda from flowing back, you can cover the container with a plate or wrap it with plastic wrap and poke some holes in it. Steam it on medium heat for 8-10 minutes.

After steaming, take out and cut into pieces to enjoy. Let it cool slightly after steaming and then turn it upside down. It is easy to demould after putting silicone oil paper. After removing the oil paper, cut into your favorite shape and enjoy.

This complementary food is not suitable for refrigeration after preparation. It is best to prepare as much high-protein food as you want and eat it right after it is prepared. If you really make a lot, you can only freeze it for 2 days. The taste will be reduced a lot after freezing. The frozen pea shrimp cake must be steamed again before eating.
