How to cook soft porridge base for Toddler

Many new parents are not too sure about how to cook the porridge base for their baby when they can start to eat solid food. When the base is done, you can add in other ingredients. The way I cook it don’t need to use blender (there is saying that blender induce wind).  But you need a small slow cooker here.

Ingredients (for 1 serving)

1. 1 handful of white rice (or about 1/8 cup using the measuring cup from rice cooker)
2. 1 bowl boiling hot water

Method  

1. Wash rice thoroughly, at least 4-5 times (you don’t want to have your baby to consume any chemicals or dirt)
2. Put rice into slow cooker, add in 1 bowl boiling hot water. Let it cook under “High” for 1-1.5 hours until you can see the rice grains has bloated up very big. (if possible look through the glass cover, as opening it release the heat and slow down cooking).
3. Using a metal spoon, stir in big circular motion, the rice will get smashed up easily into a creamy paste (with a little lumps is ok), and you are ready for adding other ingredients.
