Yummy Baby Foods: Cream of Tofu

Posted on    by

This healthy dish is really creamy. Hannah’s first experience with it was very positive. Be warned, your baby might get addicted as it is so smooth! Hee hee :P

Here’s the recipe:

Ingredients (serves 1 chinese bowl)

  • Silken organic tofu (1/3 block or 100g)
  • Chicken breast meat (~3 cm x 2 cm x 0.7 cm)
  • Cheddar cheese (1/4 of a standard slice) or Laughing Cow’s plain cheese cube (1 cube)
  • Carrot (1 small)
  • Fresh corn (kernels from 1/2 cob)
  • Peas (2 tbsps)

Method

  1. Slice the carrot thinly. Break a corn cob into halves and remove the kernels by slicing each half downwards.
  2. Spread out the carrot pieces, corn and peas on a plate.
  3. Steam the vegetables for 15 minutes.
  4. In the meantime, cook the chicken meat by boiling it for about 10 minutes in another pot.
  5. Rinse the tofu with cooled boiled water, cut it into medium blocks and place them in a blender.
  6. Add the cheese into the blender.
  7. Once the vegetables are steamed and chicken cooked, transfer them into the blender as well.
  8. Blend all ingredients according to the desired consistency for your baby.
  9. The cream of tofu is ready to be served! I prefer warm food for our baby and hence I would warm it up in a bowl of very hot water, stir well to distribute the heat and serve.
