Nutritious Salmon
Mushroom Steamed Rice

A wholesome, baby-friendly meal featuring tender salmon and aromatic mushrooms. This steamed rice dish is perfectly balanced, savory, and easy to digest.

Ingredients

• 40 g white rice
• 100 g fresh salmon
• 2 shiitake mushrooms
• 1 tbsp dried baby shrimp
• 1 tsp baby-friendly soy sauce
• 1 slice ginger
• 1 stalk green onions
• 1 tsp cooking oil
• to taste water

Instructions

1. 1Marinate the salmon

   

   Dice the raw salmon into small bite-sized pieces suitable for a baby, then mix it with julienned ginger in a bowl. Let the mixture marinate for ten minutes to remove any fishy odors.

   Tip: Cut the ginger into large enough strips so they are easy to spot and remove before serving the dish to your little one.
2. 2Sauté the dried shrimp

   

   Heat a small amount of oil in a shallow pan over low heat. Add the dried baby shrimp and sliced green onions, stir-frying gently until they release their fragrance.

   Tip: Keep the heat low to prevent the delicate baby shrimp from burning, which can introduce a bitter taste to the meal.
3. 3Saute the ingredients

   

   Add the diced ingredients to the pan with the shrimp. Stir fry everything continuously with a spatula until the salmon is cooked and the mixture is aromatic.

   Tip: Keep the heat low when frying so the ingredients release their flavor without burning.
4. 4Saute mushrooms and shrimp

   

   Add the diced shiitake mushrooms to the pan. Continue to stir fry the shrimp and mushroom mixture until they are aromatic and the mushrooms are tender.

   Tip: Washing the rice before adding it removes excess surface starch which helps keep the grains separate and fluffy after steaming.
5. 5Season the mixture

   

   Add a splash of baby-friendly soy sauce over the rice, salmon, and the rest of the ingredients in the pan. Stir-fry everything together for about four minutes until the flavors combine.

   Tip: Baby soy sauce is specifically formulated to be lower in sodium, making it a much safer and healthier seasoning choice for one-year-olds.
6. 6Season the rice mixture

   

   Add the prepared rice and salmon to the pan along with a splash of baby soy sauce. Stir-fry everything together for four minutes, allowing the rice grains to become well-coated with the flavors.

   Tip: Stir-frying the rice before steaming helps every grain absorb the savory flavor of the fish and shrimp.
7. 7Transfer to a steaming bowl

   

   Scoop the stir-fried rice and salmon mixture into a white ceramic steaming bowl. Use a spoon or spatula to smooth it out into an even layer.

   Tip: Leveling the rice ensures it cooks evenly when steamed.
8. 8Add water for steaming

   

   Pour water into the ceramic bowl until the water level is just even with the top of the rice mixture.

   Tip: Do not add too much water; keeping it strictly level with the rice prevents the dish from becoming mushy.
9. 9Cover and steam

   

   Place the lid tightly onto the ceramic bowl. Transfer the covered bowl into a steamer, put the steamer lid on, and steam over high heat for 30 minutes.

   Tip: Using a lid on the bowl prevents excess condensation from the steamer from dripping directly into the rice.
