Pan-fried Teriyaki Cod – Kiddy portion

Posted on January 9, 2013 by Angeline

My kids are used to eating cod and usually they eat it steamed plain or with wolfberries or with a dash of teriyaki sauce. Sometimes I simply pan-fry it and on super good days, they get home-made cod fish fingers or the super creamy baked cod with Ritz crackers crust. 🙂

Recently, I decided to indulge them a little and they absolutely love this pan-fried teriyaki cod!

Here’s a serving of teriyaki cod for little boy (15 months):

I usually let the cod soak up the sauce but if you like, you can always leave some sauce for drizzling on rice etc. Just make sure you prepare more sauce then.

Total time: 
Serves: 1 toddler
 
Ingredients
  • 30-50g cod fillet
  • teriyaki sauce* (see cooking notes), amount up to your preference
  • 1 teaspoon oil
Instructions
  1. Rinse cod fillet and pat dry.
  2. Add a teaspoon of oil to the pan (I'm using the Happy Call pan).
  3. When the oil is heated up, add the fish and cover the pan and let it fry for about 2 minutes.
  4. Flip the small piece of cod in the pan and cover the pan again for about 10 seconds.
  5. Pour the teriyaki sauce on the cod and cover the pan again and cook till the sauce has thickened to a consistency of your liking or if the cod fillet has soaked up the sauce.
  6. Remove from pan and serve.
Notes
1. The brand of teriyaki sauce I'm using is Yamasa and I find it a bit too salty for the kids so I usually dilute it with plain water in the proportion 1:1 (add more water if still too salty). I will add ¼ - ½ a teaspoon of sugar to balance the taste.
2. Adjust the sauce to your liking before adding it to the pan as the cod will be overcooked if you start adjusting the taste of the sauce only in the cooking process.
3. You can substitute cod with salmon fillet.

Tofu Sweet Corn Soup Recipe （豆腐甜粟汤）

Posted on January 7, 2013 by Angeline

My little boy has come to appreciate nutritious and tasty soups and he is a big fan of my soups, of course. 🙂 Looking at how he easily lapped up a bowl of this tofu sweet corn soup with his bowl of rice in less than 10 minutes, I know for sure he’s in love with this soup!

Tofu sweet corn soup can be enjoyed as a soup or a thicker version which is known as 羹 – simply add cornflour slurry into the soup to thicken it to a consistency of your liking. Since my hubby prefers the soupy version, I did not add any cornflour.

Ingredients
  • 1 block silken tofu (for soup), diced into 2cm cubes
  • 2 corn cobs, chopped into segments
  • 1 cup frozen corn kernels, rinsed
  • 1 egg, beaten not too finely
  • 3 chicken carcasses (you can use a mixture of chicken carcasses and pork ribs)
  • 3.5L water
  • 3 cloves garlic (leave skin on)
  • 5 small dried scallops
  • Crab meat may be added but I didn't as my little boy is only 15months old.
Instructions
  1. Place the chicken carcasses in a pot with enough water to cover them. Bring to a boil then remove the chicken bones and place them in a soup bag.
  2. Place the garlic (and dried scallops if you're not consuming them) into the soup bag as well. Tie up the soup bag.
  3. Place the soup bag of ingredients together with corn cobs into the 3.5L water in a deep soup pot and bring to a boil. Simmer for a couple of hours at least.
  4. When soup is ready, remove the corn cobs and soup bag.
  5. Add the corn kernels and boil for about 5 minutes.
  6. Add the tofu and boil for another 2 minutes.
  7. Swirl the beaten egg in, cover the pot and turn off the flame.
  8. Serve in 5 minutes after egg has set.
