It is said that fish and shrimp are rich in nutrition and are good for the baby to eat, but the usual practice is that the baby does not like to eat them. What should I do?
Don’t worry, Dr. Clove invited Li Liangli today to introduce a DHA-rich and calcium-supplemented supplementary food made of fish and shrimp.
The advantages of this complementary food
1. Nutritional abundance
Salmon, shrimp and eggs can provide high-quality protein for the baby, while salmon and shrimp provide rich DHA and calcium, which can help the baby’s brain development and bone growth.
Broccoli is a large calcium-containing vegetable and is rich in carotene. Carotene can be converted into vitamin A in the body, which is very important for baby’s vision development.
2. The taste is delicious and the seasoning is simple.
Lentinus edodes and black sesame seeds are added, no additional seasonings are needed, and the food has its own delicious properties, which is suitable for babies who need light taste.
3. One mouthful at a time, the baby is not afraid to be picky about food.
This supplementary food includes fish, shrimp and vegetables together. It is of moderate size, one by one. It can be used as finger food for the baby to grab and practice fine hand movements.
4. Diversified styles
Parents can choose steaming and baking methods according to the baby’s age characteristics, taste preferences and cooking conditions at home to make complementary foods with changeable tastes for the baby.
Well, Dr. Clove should quickly reveal the answer to the riddle. This supplementary food is salmon and shrimp egg rolls.
Preparation of ingredients and tools
1. Raw materials
- 5 g of raw flour, 1 small broccoli, 3-5 dried mushrooms, 3-5 black sesame, a handful (about 20-30g), shrimps, 8-10 salmon meat, 1 piece (about 80-100g)
2. Making Tools
Non-stick pan, spatula or scraper, oven or steamer
Manufacturing method
STEP 1 Handle Ingredients
Shrimp and salmon meat are thawed in advance and chopped into fish and shrimp paste with a knife.
Soak mushrooms and chop them up for later use. Wash broccoli, blanch and chop them up for later use.
If there is a food cooking machine at home, you can also use the cooking machine to break the ingredients.
Step 2 Make batter and stuffing
Batter: Mix eggs and raw flour, stir well, and sift through a sieve to remove the agglomerated raw flour particles. If you are too lazy to sieve, you can do it, but you have to spend more effort when stirring and mixing.
Add mushrooms, broccoli and black sesame to the stirred batter. Stir well.
Stuffing: Chopped fish and shrimp paste.
Step 3 Make volumes
Pour a small amount of oil into the pan, pour the batter into a non-stick pan, and spread it flat into thin slices with a scraper or spatula. When the batter is semi-solidified, lay the fish and shrimp mud flat on it, then roll it up.
Due to the stickiness of fish and shrimp fillings, it is easy to roll them successfully, so parents need not worry about the failure of making them.
Preheat the oven at 180 ℃, put the roll into the middle layer of the oven, bake over the upper and lower fires for 20 minutes, and turn over once during this period.
You can use a steamer without an oven. After the water is boiled, steam over medium heat for 5 minutes.
Wait for the salmon and shrimp egg roll to come out of the oven and cool it for a while. Cut it into small pieces with a knife and give it to the baby.
Tips from Dr. Clove
Remember to wait until the baby has tasted all the ingredients to ensure that he is not allergic before giving the baby salmon and shrimp egg rolls. Considering that there are many ingredients in this supplementary food, it takes a long time to try and adapt to different materials. It is recommended that the baby start trying again after 11 months.
Of course, salmon and shrimp egg rolls can also be adjusted according to the baby’s age characteristics and are suitable for babies of different ages.
For the baby who has just started to try this supplementary food, the ingredients can be chopped finer, and the prepared egg roll can be cut into small pieces by steaming, so that the baby is more likely to bite.
If the family is a big baby, it is not difficult to chew. The ingredients can not be cut too into pieces. The prepared egg roll can be cut into large pieces by baking. The skin thus made is a little crisp and tastes more fragrant.
The finished salmon and shrimp egg rolls can also be eaten by parents together. In this way, the child will naturally blend into the adult’s dining table, providing the baby with the opportunity to imitate the adult’s eating, and enabling the baby to learn to eat by himself faster.
