Lean Pork
50g
Egg
1
Sesame Sauce
3g
Supplementary Ingredients
Corn Starch
5g
Steps
1. Corn Starch 5g, Sesame Sauce 3g.
PS: Add a bit of sesame sauce inside the meat filling, first to improve the calcium content of the whole complementary food, and at the same time it can make the meat filling become smoother.
2. Cut the pork into small pieces.
PS: The best way to make luncheon meat is to choose plum meat, if you can't buy it you can use tenderloin instead, and it's best to add a little more fat, because when you mix the fat with the lean meat there will be grease in it, so that the luncheon meat won't be mushy in texture.
If you use pure lean tenderloin, you need to add a little bit of vegetable oil inside the meat mixture to make it smooth.
3. Put the pork cubes in a blender and blend them into a fine puree.
4. See how the meat mixture has become very fine after blending.
5. While stirring the meat mixture, mix the sesame paste with 20g of water to turn it into a thinner sauce.
PS: Yes, adding a bit of fat, a bit of vegetable oil or a little water to the meat mixture is all aimed at making it steam out with a non-chafing texture.
6. Add a little chopped green onion and sesame paste sauce to the pureed meat.
7. Put in the right amount of corn starch.
PS: Every time I use cornstarch in a recipe, some moms will ask what cornstarch is and why I need to add it.
Starch is also called raw flour, and in this recipe, the reason for adding a little starch is to help mold the meat mixture. Starch is actually widely found in food, for example, the rice flour and coarse grains that we usually eat contain this ingredient of starch, which is actually a polysaccharide and an important source of carbohydrates.
8. Use chopsticks to mix the puree well, adding 30g of water while stirring.
PS: Adding water will make the puree more tender and the texture won't be mushy when you eat it.
The water should be added in several times so that the puree can absorb the water better.
9. If you want to mix these four ingredients together, it's a bit of a struggle if you use chopsticks. It's best to wear disposable gloves, and it's very easy to use your hands to scrub the ingredients together.
PS: If you find any white meat tendons while mixing, be sure to pick them out!
10. Brush the inside of the bowl with a little oil to prevent sticking.
11. Add the pureed meat, then use the back of a spoon to compact and smooth the surface.
PS: The spoon may stick to the mixture more easily, so dip the spoon in a little water before smoothing.
12. Beat an egg directly on top of the puree.
PS: To keep the sun-like yolk in the center of the puree, press a small crater in the middle of the puree with a spoon so that the yolk can stand firmly in the center!
13. Bring the water in the steamer to a boil, then add the steamed meatloaf, and steam for 20 minutes to cook both the meatloaf and the egg through.
14. After steaming the meatballs and letting them cool a bit, you can easily take them out of the mold and cut them into small pieces for your baby to enjoy!
15. The amount of these ingredients is not the baby's meal, yo, a meal can not eat the case, you can put the rest of the part of the frozen, the next time the steam heat to the baby to eat. But the above sun egg is not too suitable for freezing, after freezing the taste will change, it is recommended that you can let the baby eat the whole meal. After all, the baby needs to eat an egg a day~
Tips
When we shop at the supermarket, we can look at the packaging, which will be labeled "corn starch" "potato starch" (i.e., potato starch) "Sweet potato starch" (i.e., groundnut starch), through the name we can see, it is through which kind of ingredients refined out of it, such as corn starch is extracted from corn. In these three common starch, corn starch will be relatively more delicate, better appearance and taste, so it will be used more often.
