Steamed Meatballs with Green Peas and Lamb: A Nutritious Baby Food Recipe

Method

1. 01

   Step 1

   Prepare the ingredients. I'm using lamb here, but you can use pork or beef instead.

   

2. 02

   Step 2

   Boil green peas in boiling water for five minutes, then drain. Peel off the skin of each pea and mash them with a tool. Don't mash them too finely; just mash them until they are roughly ground. If all the green peas are whole, the steamed balls won't look nice.

   Step 3

   Cut the lamb into small cubes, add chopped green onions and baby soy sauce, mix well, and marinate for ten minutes. Cut the sweet potato into small cubes, and beat the eggs.

   Step 4

   Pour sweet potato cubes, green peas, and two-thirds of the egg mixture into the marinated lamb and mix well.

   Step 5

   Add flour and stir. Because the water absorption of different flours varies, it is recommended to add the flour in batches, observing the consistency of the batter while stirring. Stir until the batter is sticky, can be shaped, and does not easily collapse.

   Step 6

   Line a plate with parchment paper to prevent sticking (you can also brush it with oil). Wet your palms and gently knead the batter into balls. Place the balls in a steamer with cold water, bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium-low heat and steam for 15 20 .
