Shrimp and Mushroom Congee

Shrimp and Mushroom Congee

1. Prepare ingredients: 60g rice, 15g brown rice, 8 arctic shrimps, 40g corn kernels, 25g shiitake mushrooms, 25g pleurotus eryngii.

PS: Arctic shrimp can also be replaced by sea shrimp. If your baby has not learned to chew corn kernels, you can omit corn kernels and replace them with green leafy vegetables to prevent your baby from choking.

2. After washing the brown rice, soak it in clean water 4 hours in advance.

PS: Brown rice is a product with only the husk removed from the rice. Because of its rough processing, it retains the original crude fiber and B vitamins of the rice. Compared with refined white rice, brown rice has more vitamins and minerals. However, brown rice has a hard texture and a rough taste. It is not easy to boil. For babies, it is more difficult to chew and digest, so it must be soaked in advance before cooking porridge for babies.

3. After the water boils, add the shiitake mushrooms and eryngii mushrooms and blanch for 1 minute.

4. Then cut the blanched shiitake mushrooms into fine pieces.

PS: Mushrooms are not easy to chew, so when making them for babies, be sure to chop them up~

5. Then cut the blanched pleurotus eryngii into finely pieces.

PS: Pleurotus eryngii has an almond aroma and tastes like abalone, so it is called "Pleurotus eryngii". Pleurotus eryngii is rich in nutrients, rich in protein, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals such as calcium, magnesium, copper, zinc, etc., which can improve the baby's immunity.

6. The Arctic shrimp is shelled and chopped.

PS: Some hemp may worry about whether the Arctic shrimp is fresh. In fact, the Arctic shrimp sold to China is mainly cooked Arctic sweet shrimp. After the lively sweet shrimp are caught, they will be pre-cooked, graded and graded immediately on board. The whole process of freezing and packaging takes less than half an hour, so this fully guarantees the freshness of the shrimp, and it is safe to eat for the baby.

7. Put the rice and the soaked brown rice into the pot, add an appropriate amount of water, first boil on high heat, and then simmer on low heat.

PS: You can also use an electric rice cooker to cook the rice porridge first, and then add other ingredients. I am generally used to adding 8 times the amount of water. The softness of the porridge is just right. You can also adjust it according to your baby's preferences~

8. Boil the rice porridge to thicken.

PS: When using a small milk pot to cook porridge or casserole, be sure to watch the heat, and often use a spoon to stir a few times, because it is very easy to throw the pot.

9. Then pour the shiitake mushrooms and eryngii mushrooms into the rice porridge and simmer for 5 minutes.

10. Then pour the corn kernels into the pot.

11. Then pour the shrimp into the pot, stir evenly, and simmer for two minutes to turn off the heat and get out of the pot!

12. I didn't add salt to this porridge, but it still tastes delicious. Come drink it to your baby!

Tips:

Coarse grains are rich in nutrients, but for babies with weak digestion and chewing ability, they can be made into rice paste or mixed with beans to make rice paste soy milk.
In the process of making porridge, turn in one direction when stirring, so that the porridge will be crisp and taste good. Bring to a boil over high heat first, then turn to a low heat and simmer for about 30 minutes. With such a heat change, the aroma of the porridge depends on this.
