As a parent, I really can't be completely indifferent to the fact that my children don't like to eat vegetables. The diet should be balanced, and the children don't eat, for fear of affecting their development.
In order to make Dudu eat vegetables, I tried many ways. After observation, I found that Dudu is not picky about food at all times, and he doesn't eat vegetables that he doesn't like at ordinary times.
For example, he doesn't eat carrots cooked in porridge, but he eats carrots cooked in stew.
Lettuce, for example, every time he buys pancake fruit, he throws it away and doesn't eat it, but if he mixes it with garlic, soy sauce and sesame oil, he will eat it.
For example, he doesn't eat leeks and fennel seedlings, but he will eat them when they are made into jiaozi and pies.
Therefore, there is a rule that as long as it is delicious and to his taste, he will eat it, and he will take the initiative to eat it. If he doesn't give it, he will be angry.
This is what I observed in cooking and making DuDu eat for a long time, and it was also summed up in many attempts and efforts to make children eat vegetables.
Therefore, try various methods and make what children love to eat, and they will naturally eat.
Let me list the foods I have cooked to make Dudu eat vegetables, especially vegetables.
One is vegetable cake.
The vegetable cake mentioned here refers to a small cake made of vegetables and flour.
The method is very simple. Chop the vegetables, add water, flour and eggs, and also add ham and sesame seeds. You can only add salt to the seasoning, or you can add spiced powder and cumin powder. All the materials are mixed and beaten into a paste, and fried into pancakes with a pan or frying pan and electric baking pan.
Vegetable cakes are soft and delicious. You can eat them directly or spread soybean sauce. If you spread sauce, I will not add salt when mixing the batter, because the sauce is salty.
Vegetable cake can be said that all vegetables can be added. I have used leek, rape, spinach, broccoli, celery leaves, etc. Except for leek, I will boil water first, which can not only reduce the volume, add more vegetables, but also remove oxalic acid.
In addition to vegetables, potatoes, radishes, onions, garlic moss, etc. have also been used. Generally, whatever is convenient is used.
Vegetable cake DuDu likes to eat very much. Usually I eat the first one I make, and I eat it while I cook it. At most, I make four pieces, and he eats three pieces, so I eat the last one.
The second is Maruko and jiaozi.
I have made many kinds of meatballs, sometimes meat, sometimes vegetarian, sometimes boiled, sometimes steamed, sometimes fried, and fried very rarely. I don't like fried food at ordinary times.
Jiaozi is more common. I don't make vegetarian stuffing much, because I always think that the meat stuffing is more fragrant and children like it better.
It's not difficult to make meatballs. I'll mix the meat first, and then add chopped vegetables. Vegetarian, usually chopped vegetables, with eggs, flour and seasonings. Vegetarian meatballs can't be cooked because they are not as sticky as meat stuffing, so they can be steamed or fried.
The third is pie.
Compared with vegetable cakes and meatballs, pies are more complicated, because they need to be filled, mixed with flour, wrapped and fried, but the pies made by themselves have more fillings, so they eat more dishes.
Once I made fennel pie, Dudu saw me chopping vegetables and asked me what to do. I said I would make a pie for you, but he immediately refused, saying I wouldn't eat it. But after the oven, he had forgotten what he had just said, and the cake was still hot, so he couldn't wait to eat it while blowing.
Pie can also use a variety of vegetables, and different vegetables are treated differently. Just chop leeks and fennel seedlings directly. If it is radish or cabbage, you need to squeeze out the water first and then adjust the stuffing.
Pie can be added with meat or eggs. Different fillings have different flavors.
The fourth is to add flour to steam food.
There are also two ways to add flour to steam. One is to make a vegetable dumpling and steam it in a cage. First, after mixing the flour, spread it directly on the steamer and steam it. After steaming, add the fragrant chopped green onion oil. If you like garlic paste, you can add garlic paste.
The food cooked by the latter method is called "Kulei" here, and now there are similar steamed dishes in restaurants, which is also a staple food. There are many vegetables that can do this. I have used chrysanthemum, alfalfa, potatoes and carrots, and it is said that cabbage can do the same. I have never tried it. When Dudu was a child, the nanny brought some onion seedlings left over from his hometown, that is, shallots, and steamed them with shallots, which tasted good.
These practices, relatively speaking, the appearance of vegetables is relatively hidden, and the taste is better, so that children can eat vegetables unconsciously.
Therefore, if parents want their children to eat vegetables, they can try more ways. Few children can't eat certain vegetables at all. What's more, they make them dislike them, change their ways, and make them like to eat foods, and children will naturally eat them.
Of course, every child has different tastes and preferences. Some children may not like what I have listed above. Parents can observe what their children like to eat and make vegetables into the form that their children like to eat. Maybe their children will stutter.
Children like to eat, which is the biggest motivation for a mother to cook. Let the children eat, which can maximize the mother's cooking potential.
A mother said that she had never cooked before she got married. After giving birth to a child, she became a master cook. She used to sleep late in the morning, but later she could get up in the middle of the night to cook as long as the child said what she wanted to eat.
There are so many kinds of food and so many practices. As long as you put your heart into it, there will always be children who like to eat it.
It is the happiest moment for a mother to watch her child eat with a big mouth.
