Buddy is approaching to his 9 months mark. At 8.5 months, we started to add traditional asian porridge aka congee to his diet. After a week of trying, buddy finally accepted the new taste and texture.
I've name it as "deluxe baby porridge" because I've added many nutritious and delicious ingredients to the porridge: Protein (chicken tenderloins), dried scallop (make soup extra yummy), silver fish (which is loaded with calcium), broccoli florets, carrots (rich in vitamin C) and ginger (add flavour, increase appetite and it helps expelling wind)
This recipe is very versatile because the combinations can be change. I can use a different protein everyday (chicken, ground pork, fish, or beef), change potato (Sweet potato or white), squash (pumpkin, butternut or yellow squash), vitamin C, different grains (brown + white rice or millet)
And I always find the tastiest porridge is cooked with lots of stirring efforts. People used to say, 'stirring your food is like you're adding love into the pot.' So do stir as much as you can! :)
