I have been feeding Baby G porridge since he was about 5 months old. He still eats porridge every day, twice daily, and he just loves it. He can finish 1 cup to 1.5 cups of porridge every meal!
I started introducing porridge to him a few weeks after feeding him sweet potato puree. Knowing that he loves sweet potato, I know exactly what he wants in his porridge so my basic baby porridge is the combination of rice, sweet potato, and water.
This baby porridge is very versatile. You can be very creative and replace the sweet potato with regular potato, carrot, pumpkin, kabocha (aka Japanese pumpkin), or butternut squash. If your baby has just started on solid food, you want to slowly introduce him to new ingredients so as to avoid food allergy. Start by testing one ingredient, and then move on to the next. This way, you can also find out which combination he likes the most.
As Baby G doesn’t like formula, my pediatrician told me to add an egg yolk to his food after he was six months old. Please take note that some babies develop allergy reactions to egg whites so consult your doctor when to introduce eggs to your baby.
I am going to share my deluxe baby porridge recipe with you in the next post—it tastes so good that I don’t mind eating it.
Serving: 2 bowls | Prep Time: 5 minutes | Cook Time: 45 minutes
Ingredients:
1/4 cup rice
3 cups water
3-4 oz sweet potato, cut into small pieces
1 egg yolk, optional
Method:
Put the rice into a small pot and rinse with cold water a few times. Discard the cloudy water and add 3 cups of filtered water into the rice. Add the sweet potatoes and bring it to on medium heat. Lower the heat to simmer, cover the pot, and let cook for 45 minutes or until the rice breaks down completely. If using egg yolk, lightly beat the egg yolk and add to the porridge. Stir a few times, and let cook for about 1-2 minutes. Before serving, use a blender or stick blender to puree the porridge. Serve it cool to avoid burning your baby.

Sweet Potato Puree
Sweet potato puree is the first solid food I made for Baby G. I remember the first time he tasted the sweet potato puree, he finished the few tiny spoonful right away. He wanted more. He was eating sweet potato puree almost every meal, and then I slowly introduced him to other food. As a first-time mom, it is very important…
Super Baby Food: Avocado
When it comes to feeding Baby G, nutrition is the most important factor that I consider. Babies need a lot of brain food, or so-called “super food” for their ever-developing brain. One super baby food is avocado, which is recommended by a renowned pediatrician Dr. William Sears. Avocado ranks #1 on his top ten list of fruits for babies because…

I finally received the much-awaited book ‘Easy Chinese Recipe’ at Perth today. The photos are beautiful and the recipes look mouth watering. Will get my wife to try to make some!
Wow! Thanks Bee. I’m going to try it this weekend. Now, do you add fried or hardboiled egg yolk to the porridge? From the pix, it looks like fried one.
No, I just beat the egg and add it while the porridge is cooking. Stir it a little and you have it in small pieces. :)
Bryan, thanks for your support and glad you like my book. :)
This is a classic!
Made this today for my sick little daughter! She ate it up! Can’t wait to try other baby recipes. Since she’s older I used chicken stock and didn’t blend it. Thanks!
Hi bee, can the porridge be frozen? Can I cook more and freeze for other time Or is it best ate fresh? Thanks!
Eat fresh, porridge will have “wind” after frozen.
