Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare all ingredients by dicing them into bite-sized cubes. Thoroughly wash or peel the potatoes and pumpkin. Dice the ham into pieces suitable for your child. Cutting all ingredients to a similar size will ensure they cook evenly.
Step 2
Now, let’s make the braising sauce. In a pot or deep pan, combine 3 tsp of crab soy sauce, 1 Tbsp of agave syrup, 1 tsp of shiitake mushroom powder, 100ml of water, and 1 tsp of anchovy sauce. (We’ll add sesame oil and seeds at the end!) Stir everything together to mix the sauce well.
Step 3
Add the diced potatoes, onion, pumpkin, and ham to the sauce. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the liquid has reduced and the ingredients are glossy. This should take about 10-15 minutes. Check if the potatoes are tender by piercing them with a fork.
Step 4
Once all the ingredients are cooked through and have absorbed the delicious sauce, your savory braised potatoes and vegetables are ready! Be careful as it will be hot.
Step 5
Transfer the finished dish to a serving bowl. Sprinkle with sesame seeds for a visually appealing and flavorful finish. This dish is perfect as a baby’s side dish and also delicious for adults with its savory flavor. Enjoy your meal together!
