Carrots are rich in vitamin C, and yam can strengthen the spleen and stomach, both of which are very nutritious, and there are many cooking methods for these two vegetables. Carrots can be eaten raw directly, or steamed with yam and dipped in sugar, which children also like. The carrot and yam glutinous rice cake recommended here can be a staple food for children or a "snack" for children. Mix glutinous rice with carrot and yam, mash and fry. Because of the aroma of glutinous rice and two kinds of vegetables, the cake tastes sweet and fragrant. However, there is not much sugar in it, which has no adverse effects on children's health. This sweet biscuit is very suitable for children's taste, and children will like it very much.
The main ingredients of this carrot and yam glutinous rice cake are carrot, yam and glutinous rice. The ingredients are very simple, just to let children eat delicious vegetable cakes and supplement vitamins in the most direct and favorite way. The main method is to steam carrots and yam in a steamer first, then mix glutinous rice flour and mash it into a vegetable paste, then make the vegetable paste into a small cake and fry it in hot oil. The practice is clear and the steps are clear. It takes about 1 hour from side dish preparation to completion, and it takes more than half an hour to process mashed vegetables. In fact, in addition to carrots and yams, glutinous rice cakes can also use vegetables such as sweet potatoes and potatoes. If you are interested, you can try different vegetables with different tastes and make more homemade snacks for your children. The specific production process can refer to the previous article "glutinous rice cake made of carrots and yam is sweet and delicious, and children will definitely like it".
Zucchini is a kind of home-cooked dish with high nutritional value. Rich in water, it can moisten the lungs and relieve cough, and clear away heat and toxic materials. Eating zucchini can improve immunity and resist viruses. However, the zucchini itself tastes light and contains a lot of water. No matter what kind of ingredients are used, the fried dishes have some water and the taste is still very light. If you add more ingredients such as seasoned bean paste or pepper, you can improve the taste, but children will taste too strong. Zucchini cake takes full advantage of its abundant water, making full use of the water of zucchini itself (no water is needed in the process), making zucchini batter with eggs and flour, and then making zucchini cake with batter. The taste is soft and delicious, with onion fragrance and strong noodle flavor, which is very popular among children at home. This kind of cake has become a common breakfast in our family. Eating zucchini cake can not only supplement the nutrition of vegetables, but also solve the problem of children's breakfast because it is pasta.
The main ingredients of zucchini cake are zucchini, eggs, flour and a small piece of onion, with a little simple seasoning. To make zucchini cake, first brush zucchini into wide shreds, then add eggs, flour, chopped green onion and some seasonings to make a batter, and then spread this zucchini batter in a pot to make zucchini cake. The production process is simple and clear, and it is not easy to make mistakes. It takes about 15 minutes from side dish to finish (from side dish to making the first zucchini cake), including 8 minutes for making batter and less than 7 minutes for paving zucchini cake. If you want to save time, you can make batter in advance, put it in the refrigerator and use it directly when making cakes. Zucchini cake is very convenient and is very suitable for breakfast and when time is tight. For the specific production process, please refer to the previous article "Code Farmers Change Chefs-Zucchini Cake".
Mushrooms are fungi and have all the nutrients of fungi. But if some mushrooms are added in order to increase nutrition when cooking, children always like to pick mushrooms when eating, which is a bit strange. Well, in order to let the children eat more mushrooms, we have to find another way. Children like to eat meat, like the rich meat flavor, then try to add mushrooms to the meat, so that children can also supplement some mushroom nutrition. That's why I made this steamed mushroom patty for my children (it comes from my childhood food). Choose some chopped pork belly, mix it with soaked diced mushrooms and eggs to make a meat stuffing containing mushrooms (not for wrapping jiaozi or steamed buns), then press this meat stuffing into a bowl and steam it on a steamer (just like steaming egg soup). The steamed mushroom patties made by children will never be finished, and they will no longer have a strange smell.
The main ingredients of this mushroom patty steamed are minced pork belly, mushrooms and eggs, plus some seasonings. Dice mushrooms, stir with minced meat and eggs to form meat stuffing, press into patties and steam. This method is simple and easy to operate, and it takes about 45 minutes from side dishes to completion (it takes 35 minutes to steam meat pies). The meat pie is delicious and fragrant, and it is even more delicious when mixed with rice. In fact, this method can be extended, and some other vegetables can be added, but they should be cut into cubes and mixed with meat. With the strong meat flavor as a "cover-up", no matter what vegetables are added, children will eat them up. For the specific production process, see the previous article "Children's Special Nutrition Home Cooking-Steamed Mushroom Patties".
The vegetable glutinous rice cake, zucchini cake and steamed meat pie are recommended above, and now a vegetable meatball soup is recommended. Similarly, vegetables can only be mixed with meatballs to make soup, which can make children like the taste of soup, improve the taste and taste of vegetables, and make children drink more soup and eat more vegetables. The meatballs used here are not ready-made fried meatballs, but meatballs made directly from meat stuffing. Compared with fried or bought meatballs, this meatball has fresher meat and better taste, which can maximize the delicacy of soup and enhance the delicacy of vegetables in soup. When children drink this soup, they can not only get enough protein, but also absorb various vitamins and plant fibers provided by vegetables.
The main ingredients of vegetable meatball soup are chopped pork belly, eggs and some vegetables (vegetables can be lettuce, spinach, cabbage, wormwood stalks and other green leafy vegetables). It is necessary to stir minced pork and eggs into minced meat, then rub the minced meat into balls by hand, and then cook soup with vegetables in a boiling pot. When cooking this soup, you must be careful not to eat meatballs after the water is boiled, but to eat meatballs when it begins to bubble after heating to prevent it from being washed away by boiling water and affecting the appearance and taste of the soup. The whole production process is actually very simple, and it takes about 15 minutes from side dish to completion. The taste is moderate and the meat taste is obvious. Make it regularly to supplement vitamins and other nutrients in vegetables, which is very suitable for children. The specific production process can refer to the previous article "As long as you pay attention to one detail, the vegetable meatball soup will be tender, smooth and elastic".
Spike potatoes are actually authentic dark dishes. This kind of snack is full of flavor and can't get tired of eating it. I will do it at home regularly because I like it. At first, it was to satisfy my desire. Later, the children around us also ate it together, and it was very good (I like the taste and the potato chips with spikes). Considering that this dish is made of potatoes and mainly vegetables, children also like it very much. I recommend it here. However, if children are allowed to eat potatoes with ears of wheat, it should be noted that the flavor of the seasoning must be well controlled and not too spicy when adding seasoning at last.
The main ingredient of this ear potato is potato, with coriander, shallot, pepper powder, Chili powder and other seasonings (if it is for children, the amount of these two seasonings needs to be controlled). Peel the potatoes first, cut them into sharp potato chips with a sharp knife, soak them in water to remove starch, fry them in an oil pan, and then pour the seasoning into the potato chips and stir them evenly. The production of the whole disc is very simple and practical. It takes about 25 minutes from side dishes to completion. The prepared spike potato can be eaten as a meal or a snack for children, and the children will eat all the dishes when they eat this dark dish. For the specific production process, you can see the previous article "Cooking delicious spike potatoes in the dark".
These are five home-cooked dishes that can make children like vegetables. Each dish has its own characteristics, and some dishes can be expanded appropriately. Other varieties of vegetables can be added to the dishes, which can completely suit children's tastes, so that children can eat more vegetables on the basis of eating happily and comfortably, and supplement vitamins and plant fibers in various vegetables as much as possible to enhance children's immunity and improve gastrointestinal function. Finally, I would like to remind you that two stir-fried dishes (glutinous rice cake and ear potato) can be cooked for children regularly. After all, it is fried food. Although delicious, it needs a certain degree of control.
