They are so good that mommy steals a mouthful every now and then from Hannah&#8217;s bowl on the pretext of checking for food temperature. :P<\/p>\n<p>I started feeding Hannah salmon from 8 months onwards. Here&#8217;s a recipe for salmon porridge which is simply yums.<\/p>\n<h3>Ingredients (serves 1 chinese bowl)<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>White rice (1 chinese spoon)<\/li>\n<li>Brown rice (1\/2 chinese spoon)<\/li>\n<li>Salmon (1 small slice: 6 cm by 2 cm by 0.7 cm)<\/li>\n<li>Cauliflower (1 big floret)<\/li>\n<li>Potato (1 small)<\/li>\n<li>Carrot (1 small)<\/li>\n<li>Ginger (1 thin slice: 2cm x 2cm x 0.3cm)<\/li>\n<li>250 ml hot\/boiling water<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Method<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Into the slow cooker, add both white and brown rice, hot water and a slice of ginger. Set slow cooker to \u2018high\u2019 and let it cook for about 1 hour.<\/li>\n<li>In the mean time, boil water for the steaming of vegetables.<\/li>\n<li>Slice the peeled potato, peeled carrot and cauliflower thinly and spread them out on a plate.<\/li>\n<li>Steam the vegetables for 15 minutes. (Do not overcook the potato as it can become gummy.)<\/li>\n<li>After 15 minutes, take out the vegetables and replace with salmon and *steam for 3-5 minutes.<\/li>\n<li>While the salmon is being steamed, puree the vegetables.<\/li>\n<li>After about 2-3 minutes, take out the salmon. Remove its skin and mash the meat well by pressing down with a fork. You can use a spoon too.<\/li>\n<li>After one hour of cooking the rice, add the vegetable puree and mashed fish into the slow cooker. Stir well to mix.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 (Note: The viscosity of the porridge now helps to break up the fish into even finer strands.)<\/li>\n<li>The porridge is ready to be served. Scoop it out into a small bowl and cool it to a just warm temperature by placing the bowl into a bigger bowl containing tap water.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><em>*An alternative way to cook salmon is to add it directly into the cooked porridge just before serving. You&#8217;d need to mince it finely first. Fish cooks quickly.<br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Fatty fish is delicious in porridge. Cod works well too.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: inline; border: 0px;\" title=\"salmon-porridge\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/salmonporridge.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"salmon-porridge\" width=\"490\" height=\"367\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After some trial and error with cooking solid food for Hannah at home, I have a small collection of recipes which worked (i.e. the dishes turned out to be delicious).
