How to make Chinese Gnocchi for baby food

How to make Chinese Gnocchi

Gnocchi can be eaten as a substitute for rice and noodles. They are easy to make and can also be mixed with a range of different ingredients and made into different flavored dishes. It is a choice for baby and toddlers.



Ingredients:

- regular flour 1.7 ounces / 50g (this is for one portion)

- water

How to cook:

There are two ways to make Gnocchi:

Method 1:

1. Add water slowly into flour. Make sure to stir as you pour the water in. Take care not add too much at once. Usually, I add a little bit, then stop, stir, and then add a little bit more, until the texture of the flour is not too dry but also not too wet. You should be able to form the mixture into pieces just as it is shown in the first picture.

Method 2:

Mix flour with water

1. Add water into flour, stir as you pour water in, until the consistency of the flour is similar to that in the picture above

Add mixture into boiling water

2. Boil water in a pot, use a spoon to take some of the flour you prepared in step 1, then add it into the boiling water, keep the water boiling, repeat until all of the flour mixture is used up

Boil for some minutes

3. Boil for about 2-3 minutes, then take the gnocchi out, cool down in cold water

If you plan to cook a soup, you can use a spoon to put the mixture from step 1 directly into the boiling soup, then continue to boil for a few minutes until it is ready to eat. But if you want to make more in order to store for the next meal, just follow step 1-3
