Fried Rice Noodles

Here is a recipe for a noodle dish which is gluten-free and dairy free. I used the Pad Thai style noodles I got from whole foods. My LO loved it. This is her first taste of any kind of noodles or pasta and she has already learned to suck in the strings!

Ingredients

• Rice noodles 1/2 cup
• Onion chopped 1 tbsp
• Green beans cut 2 tbsp
• Carrots cubed 2 tbsp
• Zucchini cubed 2tbsp
• Egg beaten 1/2 (If desired)
• Olive oil 1 tbsp

  

  Ingredients

  

  Fried rice noodles

  
  

Procedure

Break noodles into easier to handle size for your kid. Add noodles and a pinch of salt to boiling water and let it boil for 1 minute or until it is to your desired texture. Drain and wash with cold water. Note that rice noodles become mushy very fast, so don’t let them boil too long.

This is a stir fry method. Heat oil in a non-stick pan and add the vegetables. Add salt and let them cook until tender. Add beaten egg and stir it until it becomes scrambled. Add noodles and stir for a minute. Serve it warm.

You can use other vegetables like baby corn, boy choy, spring onions, etc.

Rice & Vegetable Porridge

Here is a recipe for a rice porridge which is a sure winner. This is a great starter baby food as well. Adjust the thinness of the porridge to your taste by adding more water. As always Gluten-free and dairy-free.

Ingredients

• Rice coarsely ground – 1/4 cup
• Carrots grated (or any vegetable) – 1/4 piece
• Water – 3 cups
• Salt
• Olive oil – 1 tbsp
• Seasonings (red chillies, curry leaves) if desired

Ground rice

Procedure

Heat oil in a skillet and add seasonings if desired. I normally remove the red chillies and curry leaves after they are fries in the oil. Add the grated carrots in this oil and let it cook for a few seconds before adding the water and salt. When the water starts boiling, slowly add ground rice while stirring. Cook this covered on a low flame, stirring it occassionally, until it is thick enough to your desire. This will take atleast 15 minutes.
