Ingredients

  • 1 Rice porridge made with 7 to 10 parts water to 1 part rice
  • 1 Sweet potato
  • 1 Carrot
  • 1 Spinach
  • 1 Apple
  • 1 Corn
  • 1 Kabocha squash
  • 1 Tofu
  • 1 Haddock
  • 1 Turnips
  • 1 Sliced bread
  • 1 Strawberries
  • 1 Yogurt (the type meant to serve to babies)
  • 1 Kinako
  • 1 Daikon radish
  • 1 Banana
  • 1 Potatoes
  • 1 Broccoli
  • 1 Onion
  • 1 Cucumber
  • 1 Tomatoes
  • 1 Edamame
  • 1 Chinese cabbage

Method

  • Mash the rice gruel.
  • Cut the crust off the sliced bread, and cut into fourths.
  • Peel the carrots, daikon radish, and cucumbers, the boil until soft and mash.
  • Leave the turnips, Chinese cabbage, sweet potatoes, onions, and corn unpeeled, boil until soft, and strain.
  • Boil the edamame, spinach (leaves only), kabocha squash, tofu, potatoes, and broccoli (top part only) until soft, and mash.
  • It's convenient to use canned tomatoes.
  • Tip: They may contain skins or seeds though, so make sure to strain.
  • Steam cook the haddock, and finely grind it up.
  • Tip: If you put the kinako in a bag and store it in the freezer, it won't lose its flavor so easily.
  • Mash up the bananas, strawberries and apples, and add the bananas and strawberries into the baby Dannon yogurt.
  • Grate the apple.
  • I bought Japanese dashi, vegetable soup, corn potage, pumpkin soup, and powdered milk as flavoring for the baby food.
  • [One example]: I microwaved some rice gruel with carrots, spinach, radish, and onion.
  • Tip: Season with Japanese dashi stock and serve.
