Tips from Dr. Clove
1. The secret of making Q-bomb beef balls is mainly two points: first, the meat paste is fully stirred; Second, the cooked meatballs should be put into ice water immediately.
2. This supplementary food requires high chewing ability and is suitable for babies over 12 months old.
3. Add a small amount of sugar and aluminum-free baking powder to the meat paste to increase the stickiness and elasticity of the balls. Appropriate amount of aluminum-free baking powder is safe for 12-month-old babies, and treasure parents can rest assured.
4. According to the baby’s taste, a small amount of pepper and mushroom crumbs can also be added for seasoning. For babies over 1 year old, a small amount of salt or raw extract can be added for seasoning.
5. When choosing cheese, three points should be paid attention to: pasteurization, non-reprocessing and low sodium content. The lower the sodium content of cheese, the better. It is recommended to choose natural cheese with sodium content less than 500 ~ 600 mg per 100g.
6. If you want to give it to your baby, you can improve the recipe: remove the seasoning from the balls, reduce the stirring time, cook the balls but ice water, and do not add cheese to the sauce. The beef balls made in this way have a lighter taste and are easy to chew. It is suitable for babies who are 9-10 months old and already have certain chewing ability.
