Christian enjoying lunch!

Hmmm ... deliciously yummy! See the super duper contented face :)

Well, as you know Christian is BIG on food. He takes his regular breakfast, lunch, tea break, dinner, supper (milk only lar) everyday!

This is one of the lunch menu:
1 pot 'Kau Tim Sai' ... in a way ...

Dish 1
Puree ... Corn + Cauliflower + Cabbage + bombay onion (good source of Vit C, especially with such H1N1 season)
Ingredients (for 2 servings):
a) 1 healthy looking Corn (Scrape out Corn kennel only)
b) 500 gm of Cauliflower
c) 500 gm of Cabbage
d) 1 huge Bombay Onion
e) 1-2 oz of white rice (i'm not big on rice though)

Pre-cooking:
+ Rinse white rice (i rinse it twice only since the whitey element of rice are suppose to be the source of minerals)
+ Simmer Corn, Cauliflower, Cabbage in a clean tub with a pinch of salt & water enough to cover the vegetables (to omit chemicals & stuff from vege) - for 3 mins only & not more (or else all minerals will be down into the water :P)
+ Cut & Dice items (a) - (d) in any size

Cooking:
+ Place ALL ingredients into the rice cooker + drinking water filled up to half the pot
+ 'Click' on to leave it to cook ... whilst you enjoy your time with your baby
* You may gauge for more water if your pot is bigger OR you prefer it more liquify
+ When cooked, place everything from rice cooker (except the rice) to food mixer (i prefer Molinex food mixer coz the regular blender gives a coarser texture)
*Blend ingredients - mode of texture ... personal preference and also baby's chewing ability
+ Store Puree (8oz) with cooked rice (1oz) into a 9oz milk bottle jar (store in Refrigerator - for dinner. Warm it in a food warmer prior dinner)

Dish 2
Soup
Soup is BIG in the family especially me being 'ngo hai Kong Fu Yen' / Cantonese :)
Any regular home made soup is fine. Mine is usually boiled with chicken breast only with no seasoning eg. salt (for adult you may have some salt separately though)

Dish 3
Steam Cod Fish + Shitake Mushroom + Spring onion
Ingredients (1 Serving - For fish, i advice to cook it fresh for each serving):

a) 1 small palm size Cod fish (debone & take away skin .. for my case Kiersten will eat it since she treats it as 'Jelly' due to the texture)
b) 1 small shitake mushroom (as flavoring)
c) 100 gm of spring onion (as flavoring)

Pre-Cooking:
+ Clean fish, Shitake mushroom (simmer in plain water for 5 mins) & Spring onion (rinse)

Cooking:
+ Place ALL ingredients into a corning ware
+ Add 3 Drops of Virging Olive Oil
+ Steam for 7mins in a Wok filled with water
+ Mash up the fish prior to serving
*check for fine bones constantly during feed. I usually avoid serving the mushroom to Christian incase of indigestion)

End Result
+ A super contented baby having his / her food :)
+ My result with Christian ... he finishes the 9 oz of Puree + Whole Fish + 3/4 bowl of soup :)
