Baby porridge recipe

Vegetable tofu and chicken porridge

Another tasty and very healthy baby porridge recipe. Broccoli is rich in Iron, Calcium and Magnesium. It also has a good amount of dietary fiber and Vitamin C. Broccoli is also said to have anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties. Tofu is a good source of protein as is chicken meat.

age: above 8 months

Ingredients:

- 2 ounces or 55 g of Rice. My first choice is Jasmati Rice because of its great flavor and texture.

- water about 1.7 cups / 400 ml

Sesame Oil

- 2 ounces / 55g of Mori-Nu Tofu chopped into small cubes

- broccoli 1 ounce / 25g chopped into small pieces

- chicken breast meat 1 ounce / 25 g chopped into small pieces

-Some Cooking Oil. I always buy Wesson's. It's a product with good quality and comes at a cheap price.

- sesame oil

- 1 teaspoon Ginger Juice. I like to use this Ginger Juice from the Ginger People for its strong taste. (You can also produce your own juice by using a garlic press)

How to cook:

1. Use ginger juice to marinate the chicken breast pieces

2. Add rice and water into Rice Cooker and use slow cooking option to cook. I own this Rice Cooker from Aroma. Very Easy to use and it produces wonderfully cooked rice. As an alternative you can also use a regular pot.

3. Add a little cooking oil into a pan, use medium heat to stir-fry the chicken meat pieces until the color is changed

4. Add chicken meat, broccoli pieces and Tofu into your rice cooker or pot after about 40 minutes you started cooking the porridge and continue to cook until porridge is ready

5. Add a few drops of sesame oil
