Main Ingredients
- 30g Ground Beef
- 15g Enoki Mushrooms
- 15g Carrot
- 1 Egg
Seasoning
- Pinch of Salt (Optional)
- Pinch of Salt (Optional)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Trim the base of the enoki mushrooms and finely chop them into bite-sized pieces suitable for your baby. Peel the carrot and mince it very finely. Tip: Feel free to use other vegetables you have in your refrigerator, such as zucchini or broccoli. Finely chopping the vegetables ensures a smooth texture that’s easy for babies to eat without choking.
Step 2
If you have frozen ground beef in cubes, soak it in cold water for about 10 minutes to remove any blood. Tip: Removing the blood helps reduce any gamey odor from the beef, resulting in a cleaner taste.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine the drained ground beef, finely chopped enoki mushrooms, minced carrot, and 1 egg. Mix thoroughly with a spoon or spatula until the mixture becomes slightly sticky and well combined. Tip: If your baby has an egg white allergy, use only 2 egg yolks. (Using only yolks might make the batter thinner, so you can slightly adjust the vegetable quantity or add a little extra flour if needed.)
Step 4
For baby food made with no added salt, omit any seasoning at this stage. For adults, adding a tiny pinch of salt will enhance the flavor and make them a more delicious side dish.
Step 5
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat. Lightly oil the pan and then wipe it with a paper towel to create a thin, even coating of oil. Drop about one tablespoon of the batter onto the pan for each pancake. Gently press down with the back of the spoon to form a round, flat shape. This recipe yields approximately 8 to 10 pancakes.
Step 6
Once both sides of the beef and vegetable pancakes are golden brown, place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil. Serve warm to your baby, or enjoy them as a side dish for adults.
