How to make steamed egg with spinach

Steamed egg with spinach is a relatively common food. Of course, it is better to feed this kind of food to babies, because steamed egg with spinach is not only soft and glutinous in texture, suitable for babies to eat, but also can supplement babies with various types of nutrients, so that children can have a healthier physique. So, how do you make spinach steamed egg as a complementary food for your baby? Next, I will introduce to you the specific steps of making steamed eggs with spinach!

1. Reference age: 12 months and above, babies who are not allergic to food Ingredients: 70g yam, 30g spinach, 7g corn starch, 2 eggs Cooking time: 30 minutes Difficulty analysis: Primary

2. Put the spinach into a pot of boiling water and blanch it. The purpose of blanching spinach is to destroy the oxalic acid (also the main component of astringency) that is harmful to the human body. It can also remove pathogens and harmful substances that may be carried on the surface of spinach. In addition, it is easier to shape the egg cake after blanching.

3. Drain the water and chop the spinach. The size of the spinach pieces should be adjusted flexibly according to the baby's age. Spinach can be replaced with other vegetables, such as carrots, rapeseed, etc. All red and green vegetables can be hidden in the egg cake.

4. Peel the yam and cut into thin slices. Don't cut the yam slices too thick, otherwise it will be difficult to steam them. Be sure to buy iron stick yam, which not only tastes good but also has high nutritional value. After steaming, it has less water and is easier to shape. Wear gloves when handling yam to avoid itchy hands due to allergies. If you don’t have gloves, you can also put a safety bag on your hand.

5. Add 10 grams of water to the corn starch and stir evenly with chopsticks.

6. Beat in 2 eggs and continue beating thoroughly. For babies over 1 year old, you can add a little salt at this step. Adding water starch can make the steamed eggs more tender and shapely, but the starch should not be too much, as too much will make the taste bad.

7. Brush a thin layer of vegetable oil on a high temperature resistant glass container. The mold I use is a high-temperature resistant glass bowl. You can replace it with other molds or high-temperature resistant containers, depending on your convenience.

8. Add silicone paper. Brushing oil and silicone oil paper both have an anti-stick effect, and can be easily demoulded after steaming.

9. First put a layer of yam slices, then put a little spinach on the yam, and place them in turn, about three or four layers.

10. Slowly pour the egg liquid from the edge, and make sure the egg liquid covers the ingredients.

11. Cover the container with a small plate to prevent water vapor from flowing back and affecting the formation of the steamed cake.

12. Steam over medium heat for about 20 minutes. The length of steaming time depends mainly on the size of the mold. If the mold is larger, you must steam it for a while longer.

13. You can eat it directly by scooping it out, or cut it into thick pieces and put it on a plate. Simply cut it into the size that your baby can grab with one hand.
