- 50g domestic halibut fillet (It’s so tender and boneless, perfect for baby food or toddler meals)
- 1 bowl cooked rice (fluffy)
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of black pepper
Vegetables (Use up leftover veggies from the fridge!)
- 1/2 onion (finely diced)
- 1/4 carrot (finely diced)
- 1/4 mushroom (finely diced)
- 1/5 zucchini (finely diced)
- 1/2 onion (finely diced)
- 1/4 carrot (finely diced)
- 1/4 mushroom (finely diced)
- 1/5 zucchini (finely diced)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the halibut fillets that will enhance the flavor of your fried rice. The domestic halibut fillet is so tender that it’s even suitable for baby food or toddler meals, making it easy for children to eat. Cut it into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2
Another great thing about fried rice is its ability to use up leftover vegetables from the fridge and add nutrition! Prepare various vegetables you have on hand, such as carrots, zucchini, onions, and mushrooms, and finely dice them into pieces that are easy for children to eat. Finely diced vegetables blend better with the rice and are less likely to be rejected by children.
Step 3
If you’re cooking with your child, use a safe and convenient vegetable chopper to finely dice the vegetables. Finely diced vegetables will result in a much smoother texture for the fried rice.
Step 4
Heat about 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add the prepared vegetables and stir-fry until they soften slightly and become fragrant. This sautéing step is key.
Step 5
Once the vegetables are somewhat cooked and the onions start to turn translucent, add the prepared halibut. At this point, add 1 tablespoon of cooking wine to cleanly eliminate any fishy odor from the halibut. Lightly season with salt and pepper.
Step 6
When the halibut is cooked and opaque, add the special sauce that will enhance the fried rice’s flavor. Add 1/2 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce, and 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise in order, and mix well.
Step 7
Add one bowl of fluffy, cooked rice to the pan. Make sure to break up any clumps of rice.
Step 8
Now, stir-fry everything quickly with a spatula until all ingredients are well combined. Stir-fry as if mixing, ensuring the sauce is absorbed between the grains of rice and the vegetables and halibut are evenly distributed. Your delicious halibut fried rice is complete!
Step 9
Spoon the finished fried rice into a bowl and press it down firmly. Then, invert it onto a plate to create a nice shape, mimicking a Chinese restaurant’s fried rice presentation. Finally, sprinkle with sesame seeds for an added nutty aroma and appetizing look. Enjoy a delightful meal with your child!
