How to choose fresh and delicious ingredients
How to choose fresh and delicious beef
- Good beef is bright red, with small, smooth fibers, and a layer of fat that is slightly yellow and firm.
- Choose pieces of meat that have a certain elasticity when pressed with your hand, without any foul smell or excess liquid.
- Avoid buying pieces of beef that are dark red, with large fibers and dark yellow fat. This indicates meat from older cows, which will be tough and not tasty when cooked.
- Especially for weaning babies, you need to find quality beef to avoid affecting their digestive system. You can find beef at the nearest TasteVN supermarkets. Or buy online through the e-commerce site Bachhoaxanh.com.
How to choose fresh and delicious pennywort
- You should choose bundles of pennywort with uniformly green leaves, thin but with sturdy, strong stems; that is fresh pennywort.
- Observe the leaves of the pennywort; if the leaves are intact, not bruised, and show no signs of worms eating, then it is good pennywort.
- Do not buy bundles of pennywort with curled leaves or other unusual shapes, as they are likely infested with worms and cannot be used for cooking.
Note when preparing meals for babies starting solids
- Do not use salt or sugar for children under 1 year old.
- This porridge can be prepared for children from 9 months old and above.
- For babies with slightly weak digestive systems, they can only eat it after 12 months.
- Divide the portion for the child into small meals; do not let the baby eat too much at once.
- To make it easier for the baby to digest, you can puree the ingredients before adding them to the cooked porridge.

How to prepare Beef and Water Spinach Porridge for babies
-
Prepare the water spinach
Wash the water spinach with diluted salt water and then rinse with clean water.
Put a pot of water on the stove, about 1 bowl of water. When the water boils, add the water spinach and boil for about 2 – 3 minutes. When the water boils again, turn off the stove and take the vegetables out to put in the blender.
Keep the vegetable boiling water to cook the porridge. Next, blend the water spinach until very fine; if your baby is over 12 months old, you can chop it small without blending. After blending, pour it into a bowl.

Prepare the beef
Wash the beef with water, then cut the meat into small pieces for easier blending. Put the meat in the blender to grind it finely. If you don’t have a blender, you can chop the meat small.

Cook the porridge
Put bowl of white porridge into the water used to boil the water spinach earlier. Stir well and simmer over medium-low heat.
When the porridge boils, add the minced beef and cook for 10 – 15 minutes over medium-low heat until the meat is cooked. While cooking, remember to stir constantly to prevent the beef from burning.
After 10 – 15 minutes of cooking the porridge, add the blended water spinach into the pot and cook for another 5 – 10 minutes over medium-low heat. Remember to stir well to prevent the porridge from burning. When the porridge boils over, turn off the heat and add a little olive oil and mix well.
Serve the porridge in a bowl and let the baby eat. If the baby is still very small, you can blend the porridge once more to help the baby digest better.
