Salmon with cheesy garlic mashed potatoes


I got bored of giving BabyS porridge and decided to give her 'western' food..

This is a good dish becos you can use the same ingredients to create a dish for the whole family to share..


Baby's version:
finely chopped broccoli
finely shredded carrots
potatoes
salmon
garlic
cheddar cheese
milk (fresh or formula/ breast milk)
Unsalted butter (small amount)
Pepper

Boil the potatoes till soft. (i put in one small clove of garlic at the same time)
Steam broccoli and carrots till done.
Steam salmon till done.

Mash potatoes, garlic, milk, unsalted butter, pepper and cheddar cheese and mix well.
Put potato onto plate and assemble broccoli, carrots and salmon on top.

Or you can mix all the potato and vegetables together and serve it this way

Adult Version:

Broccoli
Carrots
potatoes (Can boil together with baby's portion)
salmon
Garlic clove (to boil with potatoe)
Sliced garlic
cheddar cheese
milk (fresh / powdered milk)
Unsalted butter
Teiyaki sauce

Prepare potatoes in the same way as you would for baby's portion but you may add in more salt according to taste. (I added in bacon bits for mine)

Wash salmon and pat dry. Then pat corn flour onto whole surface and pan fry. If you leave the skin on, pay fry the skin side first. Leave it till cooked (when the fish is sufficiently cooked on one side, it will detach from the surface if u move it gently. If not it will stick) Then turn it over to other side to finish cooking.

When you turn the salmon to the other side, throw in some slices of garlic to let it carmalise and add more flavour to the fish. When fish is cooked, add in teriyak sauce and dilute it with a tiny bit of water.

Remove fish and garlic and place on plate.

Using the same pan, add in more garlic and vegetables. leave till cooked. You may wish to add in more sauce if you prefer.

Potato, carrot & chicken soup!


I like variety.. so I dont like to serve BabyS porridge all the time..

Occasionally i'll cook one dish meals and soups like this for her.

Potato, Carrot & Chicken Soup:
Chicken stock
diced Carrots
diced Potatoes
1/4 onion
garlic
chicken meat
dash of pepper
1 drop sesame oil

Boil all of these items in the stock till cooked and veges tender, mash to size appropriate for child and serve. You can serve it with rice, but I let the potato take the place of carbo for this dish..

Quite a simple refreshing yet tasty soup because u get to taste the natural sweetness of the onion and carrot. You may add in sweet corn if you like too.

This is a dish suitable for the whole family. You may wish to remove baby's portion b4 you proceed to season the portion for other children & adults.

different styles of chicken porridge..

All the different kinds of combi u can have with chicken in porridge..


Chicken and Apple porridge

It may sound weird to pair apple and chicken in a savoury porridge but its actually quite nice!

I give to BabyS when she has diarrhoea becos rice and Apple are good for stopping diarrhoea. Any type of red apple will do.

Put rice, chicken stock and chicken into slow cooker to cook. Midway, put in chopped vegetables (1 table spoon of raw chopped vegetable per portion of porridge. I used nai bai leaves here) and finaly diced apples. The apples will further disintergrate after cooking.

Chicken and Brocolli with egg yolk (give egg yolk only after 8 months)

Purple sweet potato, green vege and chicken porridge.. the purple sweet potato made the whole pot of porride purple!
