I really spare no effort to make breakfast for my children in spring! Every day I wonder what to do tomorrow!

I have always felt that breakfast is especially important for three meals a day. Adults have to work, children have to go to school, and a morning of intense mental work is absolutely impossible without sufficient nutritional support. Therefore, my children have not allowed it since they went to school. He went outside to buy breakfast, no matter how busy or tired, I will get up half an hour early to make a nutritious breakfast for my children.

My idea of making breakfast for my children is: don’t ask for expensive ones, just ask for miscellaneous things. The ingredients for my breakfast are very common. You can do whatever you have at home, but there must be more varieties, and each ingredient has its nutritional value. As the saying goes: food is not the essence but the miscellaneous, eating everything is the most nutritious!
But it’s also important to eat in season. In spring, my family never cuts yam and spinach every day.

Yam is one of the foods that cannot be replaced for health and health care in spring. The sweet taste is welcomed by many people. Yam contains a variety of trace elements, among which potassium is particularly high. If you add enough potassium to the body, people will be full of vitality. , Full of energy. Nowadays, people are stressed and tired easily. Eating more yam can relieve these symptoms.

There is a big temperature difference in spring, which is the season of high incidence of colds. Eating more spinach is good for our body. Spinach can help digestion and increase appetite, especially suitable for the elderly and children. Many people suffer from constipation due to dryness in spring. You can eat more spinach at this time to promote gastrointestinal motility and reduce constipation. Pregnant women eat more spinach can help the development of the fetal brain.
Nutritionists suggest that the daily intake of vegetables is about one catty, but there are very few people who can really eat enough of this amount, especially children. No child likes to eat a lot of vegetables, so mothers can think of something. Oh, it’s great to make a variety of vegetables for breakfast or snacks.

Today’s spinach and yam cake is simple and has a particularly good taste. It can be made without any tools. The steaming method allows children to eat more without getting angry, which can alleviate the problem of constipation, especially for children who love meat. need!

A small spinach cake contains the nutrients of seven foods, and a cup of milk is a very nutritious breakfast! The little one has enough energy!

See how Meimei does it.

Ingredients

Artemisia Yam Cake

1. Wash the yam with the skin and steam it in a steamer.

2. Increase the amount slightly, peel off the skin of the yam and set aside. Steam the yam with the skin, and then peel it off, so that the yam juice will not stick to the hands and prevent the mucus from contacting the hands and causing itching.

3. After washing the spinach, blanch it in a pot, soak in cold water and wring dry for later use.

4. Put the spinach into the wall-breaking machine, add a little water, and beat the spinach puree. Use the wall-breaking machine to beat the spinach. The less water the better, as long as it can drive the machine to work.

5. Pour the mashed spinach and all the flour into a large bowl.

6. Knead it into a delicate dough with your hands. Cover with plastic wrap and wake up slightly to make the dough smoother.

7. Prepare the ingredients: wash the red dates and remove the pits, soak the red beans and cook them in a rice cooker. Take them out and drain them for later use. Cut the brown sugar slices into pieces for later use.

8. The red dates are pitted and cut into small pellets with a knife.

9. Pour red beans, red dates, and brown sugar into the dough bowl.

10. Knead it with your hands directly, and knead all the ingredients well. Don't need to knead for too long, just mix the filling and dough evenly.

11. Pull down the dough in a round with your hands. Each dough is about 50 grams, of any size, according to your own preferences.

12. Without fermentation, just put all the small ingredients into the steamer and steam for 15 minutes on high heat. The color of the steamed pastry is slightly darker.
Take a bite while it's hot, soft and glutinous, fragrant, rich in taste, the more you eat, the more appetizing!

Tips:
Cooking at home, health is the most important thing, so I didn’t add baking soda to the pureed spinach. The color will darken after steaming. If you want a bright and green color, just add one gram of baking soda to the pureed spinach when kneading the noodles. , After adding baking soda, the pureed spinach will not change color. It is a tender green with the green group, decorated with red dates and red beans, which is particularly beautiful.

If you're afraid of trouble, just use milk or water to knead the noodles, or make them into white ones.
