Cooking Instructions

This savory rice porridge contains many of the ingredients that baby needs to get through the day.

Adding scant amounts of ginger, garlic and chicken to mild rice is a great way to introduce new flavors to your baby.

The oil in this recipe is a good source of fat, which supplies energy and aids in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins.

The carbohydrates found in rice provide another source of energy and assists in the utilization of fats.

In a deep skillet, heat oil over medium high-heat.
