Food : He has been transitioning from having rice cereal with fruits or vegetables to chicken or fish porridge with three types of vegetables. Types of vegetables he has eaten : pumpkin, carrots, sweet potatoes, radish, cauliflower, broccoli, potatoes, french beans, long beans, asparagus, spinach, choy sum and siu bak choy. Fruits : After his meal, he will have fruits. He has eaten red apples & bananas (his favourites), mangoes, papayas and pears. Time : 1st meal at 11:00 am & 2nd meal at 6:00 pm Snack : Snack at 3:00 pm. He will have biscuits with milk or cheese cubes or yoghurt with raisins/fruits. After the snack, he will drink 4 oz of milk. Preparation of Brae's food Porridge is prepared the night before. 2 tbsp of Japanese rice grains with 1 1/2 cups of chicken stock. Cook the porridge in a slow cooker for 3 hours in low setting ( I use a timer so that the porridge will be ready the next morning at 9:00 am). I steam the fish with ginger (to remove the fishy smell). After steaming, I remove the ginger, flake the fish and stir it into the cooked porridge. Chicken stock ingredients:- 3 pieces of chicken drumstick (remove the skin and chop the meat finely) 1 cup of anchovies (blended with water) 20 pieces of red dates (remove the seed) 9 cups of water Method:- Pour all the ingredients in the slow cooker. Boil the stock in low setting for six hours. After boiling, divide the chicken stock into 6 containers (1 1/2 cups each) to freeze for later use. I will buy three types of vegetables, cut them into pieces and store them in containers. Fish or chicken will be taken out from the freezer the night before to defrost. Few pieces of pumpkin, broccoli and choy sum were taken out from the containers to Chicco (steamer cum blender) for steaming. After steaming, I blend the vegetables into a puree.
