Accidental Mui Fan

Our usual Sunday routine usually involves waking up early to go to church. Sometimes i wake up late and dont have the time to cook BabyS's porridge in the slow cooker. So in times like these, i resort to cooking it over the pot.

I just meant to cook porridge but i used too strong a fire over the stove and the stock evaporated b4 the rice had a chance to become mushy.. And when i cracked in the egg, it accidentally became mui fan!

Accidental Mui Fan

Rice

Stock

frozen mixed veges (i prefer to remove the outer skin of peas and corn kernels)

chicken meat

whole egg (or just egg yolk if you havent exposed ur child to egg white yet)

a dash of pepper

one drop of sesame oil

one/ two drops of soya sauce (i was cooking two portions so i used two drops)

Cook all items (except egg) till rice is soft enough, then crack egg in and stir (in one direction)

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.

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!
