Mushroom and Beef Dumpling Soup Baby Food Nutrition Recipe

Method

1. 01

   Step 1

   Soak dried shrimp in cold water 10 minutes, then drain. For babies, it's best to choose additive-free, lightly dried shrimp.

   

2. 02

   Step 2

   Cut the beef into small cubes, marinate with cornstarch and a little baby soy sauce for a while. This will make the beef more tender and easier for babies to chew.

   

3. 03

   Step 3

   Dice the shiitake mushrooms, and mince the bok choy, dried shrimp, and garlic separately. I used the tender hearts of romaine lettuce here, but you can substitute other leafy greens.

   Step 4

   Heat a pan with a little oil, add minced garlic and beef and stir-fry until they change color. Add shiitake mushrooms and stir-fry until they release their juices. Add hot water and bring to a boil.

   Step 5

   Pour the flour into a bowl, add enough water to cover, and stir until smooth and free of lumps. The amount of water needs to be adjusted as needed; the batter should have a consistency like the one shown in the video. It shouldn't be too thin, or it won't hold its shape; nor should it be too thick, or it won't be easy to pipe. Transfer the batter into a piping bag. If it's difficult to fill, you can place the piping bag over a cup before pouring.

   Step 6

   Cut a small opening in a piping bag—don't cut it too big! Pipe the batter vertically into the pot, rotating the bag as you go, and occasionally gently stir it with chopsticks. When the soup reaches the desired consistency, add the chopped greens and dried shrimp, cook for a while, and then add a little salt to taste.
