Tomato and Beef Braised Rice
Babies

A nutritious, comforting toddler meal featuring tender minced beef and sweet tomatoes slow-cooked with rice in a single pot for a soft, sticky texture.

Ingredients

• 30 g rice
• 50 g minced beef
• 1 tomato
• 1 slice ginger
• 1 stalk green onion
• 1 tsp baby cooking oil
• 0.5 tsp cornstarch
• 1 pinch baby salt
• 0.5 tsp baby soy sauce
• 130 ml water

Instructions

1. 1Soak the beef

   

   Place the beef into a bowl of water along with sliced ginger and green onion stalks. Allow it to soak for 10 minutes to help remove impurities and gamey odors.

   Tip: Soaking meat with aromatics like ginger and green onions is a great way to neutralize any unpleasant raw odors.
2. 2Add oil to minced beef

   

   Pour a measured amount of baby cooking oil directly from the bottle into the bowl containing the minced beef.

   Tip: Adding a little oil to the meat marinade helps keep it tender and prevents it from clumping together during cooking.
3. 3Mix the minced beef

   

   Use a pair of chopsticks to thoroughly stir and combine the minced beef with the added seasonings in the small bowl.

   Tip: Stir in one direction consistently to help the meat bind together nicely.
4. 4Heat oil in the pot

   

   Pour baby cooking oil into the small cooking pot on the stove, preparing it for the minced beef.

   Tip: Ensure the oil is evenly distributed across the bottom of the pot before adding ingredients.
5. 5Add chopped tomatoes

   

   Pour the freshly chopped tomatoes from a yellow plate directly into the pot containing the minced beef.

   Tip: Adding tomatoes after the meat brings out a natural juiciness and sweet flavor base for the dish.
6. 6Season with baby salt

   

   Sprinkle baby salt suitable for children over one year old from a green container into the pot containing the tomatoes and beef mixture.

   Tip: Use only a minimal amount of age-appropriate salt to keep the meal healthy for toddlers.
7. 7Add baby soy sauce

   

   Add a dash of baby soy sauce to the pan containing the minced beef and tomatoes, then stir everything together well.

   Tip: Use a low-sodium baby soy sauce suitable for your babys age.
8. 8Strain washed rice

   

   Wash 30 grams of rice thoroughly and use a small green mesh strainer to strain and pour the rice into the cooker pot.

   Tip: Make sure to wash the rice until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
9. 9Combine the tomato-beef mixture with rice

   

   Pour the freshly cooked tomato and minced beef mixture directly into the cooker pot containing the washed rice. Ensure all the juices and ingredients are transferred to maximize flavor.

   Tip: Make sure to scrape all the bits from the pan so you dont lose any of the savory goodness.
10. 10Add water and cook

    

    Pour 130 milliliters of water into the cooker pot containing the rice, tomatoes, and beef mixture.

    Tip: Measure the water accurately to ensure the rice achieves a soft and sticky texture.
11. 11Cover and cook

    

    Put the lid on top of the small electric cooker pot and set it to cook on the baby rice mode for one hour.

    Tip: You can leave it to cook and go take care of other tasks, like walking the baby.
