WHAT ABOUT THE TATSE?

Oh my goodness, the mini pumpkins from Japan are such a delightful surprise for me and my kids! They are naturally sweet and don’t require any seasoning. The eggs themselves are also very fragrant, and when we added scallop powder , it enhanced the overall flavor of the dish. Even adults will enjoy these tasty treats, and they are also great for babies!

WHAT ABOUT THE TEXTURE?

Firstly, the fact that the overall texture of the dish is smooth and soft makes it easy for babies to eat and swallow. This is important, especially for babies who are just starting to eat solid foods and are still getting used to different textures.

Secondly, the use of natural, original ingredients means that the dish is packed with nutrients that are derived from whole foods. This is important for the development and growth of babies, as they require a variety of nutrients for optimal health.

Thirdly, this dish is also suitable for babies who are practicing Baby-Led Weaning (BLW). BLW is a method of introducing solid foods to babies that involves allowing them to feed themselves, rather than being spoon-fed. The smooth and soft texture of this dish makes it easy for babies to pick up and eat on their own.

Overall, this dish is a great option for babies who are 8 months or older and are starting to explore different foods and textures. It provides them with important nutrients, while also being easy to eat and suitable for BLW.

WHAT’s are the ingredients?

• Mini Japan Pumpin, it cost SGD2-2.50. You may get it from morning market, NTUC, Sheng Siong.
• An egg
• 50ml Fresh Milk – Any type of fresh milk can be used as long as the baby is not allergic to it. If preferred, you may also substitute with ABC broth)
• 3g Scallop powder – This is a great alternative to salt, as babies under 1 year old are not recommended to consume salt. Adding scallop powder will help to make the dish more flavorful without compromising its nutritional value.

TIPS…….

To achieve the right texture, it’s recommended to steam the mini pumpkin for 15 minutes before adding the egg mixture. Once the egg mixture is added, it should be steamed for a further 10-15 minutes. It’s important to check that the egg is fully cooked before serving the dish to babies, which can be done by opening it up and checking the surface.

After the dish is fully cooked, it can be cut into smaller pieces to make it easier for babies to consume. This will also help to prevent any choking hazards, which is important when introducing solid foods to babies.
