Easy Baby Meal: Nutritious Beef and Tofu Mash Recipe
Here’s a recipe for a soft and nutritious beef and tofu mash, perfect for your baby. It’s simple to make and makes a great baby side dish.
Key Ingredients- Tofu 100g (firm or silken tofu works)
- Ground beef 50g (use a cut suitable for babies)
- Sesame oil 1 Tbsp
- Low-sodium soy sauce 1 Tbsp (use baby-specific or low-sodium soy sauce)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, carefully check and prepare all the ingredients for today’s ‘Baby Beef and Tofu Mash’. Rinse the tofu under running water and blanch it in boiling water for about 1-2 minutes. This removes the raw taste and makes the tofu softer, which is great for babies to eat.
Step 2
Prepare a separate frying pan. Add the ground beef and cook over medium-low heat rather than high heat. Gently break apart the beef with chopsticks as it cooks to prevent clumping, making it easier for your baby to chew. Cook until the pink color completely disappears.
Step 3
Once the beef is well-cooked, drain any excess oil using a sieve. Then, mash the blanched tofu softly with your hands or a fork. Transfer both the prepared tofu and the cooked beef into a nice bowl. We’ll combine these two ingredients now.
Step 4
Now, add 1 tablespoon of low-sodium soy sauce, adjusted for your baby’s palate. It’s important to control the amount of soy sauce so it’s not too salty for your baby. After adding the soy sauce, gently stir to mix the ingredients.
Step 5
Finally, drizzle 1 tablespoon of sesame oil for a nutty aroma and flavor. Sesame oil enhances the dish’s taste and adds a touch of tenderness. Now, gently mash everything together so the ingredients are evenly mixed and suitable for your baby to eat. Be careful not to mash too vigorously, as it can break down the tofu; the key is to mix gently.
Step 6
Voila! Your delicious ‘Baby Beef and Tofu Mash’ is complete! It’s incredibly simple, packed with nutrition, and perfect as your baby’s first side dish. With its soft texture and savory flavor, your baby will likely finish a whole bowl of rice!
