After six months, children can start adding complementary foods. First, they can add muddy foods six times and milk once, and then foam foods four times and milk three times. And as complementary foods, mashed potatoes, minced meat, and tofu can be used. Tofu contains abundant protein. So, what are the ways to make tofu as a complementary food for young children?
1. Fish paste, bean curd and amaranth Congee
Young children's teeth have not fully grown yet, and chopping fish meat into a paste is easier for them to eat. Fish paste, bean curd and amaranth Congee is more suitable for babies over six months old. The main ingredients are fish, bean curd, amaranth and rice porridge. When making, cut the tofu into small tofu pieces, cook and chop the tender shoots of amaranth, and chop the fish meat without fish bones. Add fish paste and fish soup to the rice porridge, and finally boil the bean curd paste and amaranth paste together.
2. Tofu paste
As the name suggests, the main ingredients of tofu paste are tofu and meat soup. Put the tofu into the meat broth and cook it together while using a spoon to grind the tofu into small pieces. Put them in a bowl, smooth out the tofu, and then you can feed them. This tofu paste is most suitable for children over four months old to consume.
3. Carrot Tofu Egg Yolk Noodles
The main ingredients are carrot puree, tofu puree, and egg yolk puree. These three materials have high nutritional content and can supplement rich vitamins and proteins. You can first squeeze the carrots into juice and noodles, then add the egg yolk and continue kneading. After the noodles are cooked, add water to the pot and add tofu until cooked.
