Laney's so adorable. Thanks for sharing!
There are many things you can add to make congee appetizing. (I'm Chinese and congee is comfort food in my culture. All babies get congee as their first solids.)
For starters you can marinate minced pork or chicken with soy sauce, sugar, pepper, Chinese cooking wine (just a bit) and cornstarch. Marinate for at least 1-2 hrs in the fridge. When congee is boiling, add carrots and broccoli (cut into small pieces). Cook till soft. Next add the marinated meat and cook till meat has changed color (longer for chicken so it's soft).
In place of meat, you can add fish (deboned of course and flaked). No need to marinate the fish, but cook it quickly, otherwise the fish gets tough and hard to chew.
If you can find pork or chicken floss at your local Chinese grocer, you can sprinkle that over cooked congee; it's very tasty and children love it.
You can also add sweet potato to congee, or meat/fish balls. Congee is eaten by Chinese of all ages because it's healthy and contains less carbo than rice. Plain congee can be eaten with so many dishes! Buy takeout from the Chinese restaurants and feed it to Laney with congee. She'll love it.
Happy experimenting!
OK, I admit that I am now also addicted to reading your blog! So happy that things are going well with all of you, glad that Laney is adjusting so easily to her new life. It must feel really amazing, I can't even imagine. Big steps. Can't wait to meet her, hope all is well. See you soon. Pam
Wow, that's the first time i've ever heard of a kid not liking ice-cream. i'm sure that will soon change. keep up the good work, it only gets better.
