Baby Tteokgalbi: Soft and Delicious Tteokgalbi for Your Baby
Our Baby’s First Tteokgalbi! Making Baby Tteokgalbi, Perfect for Baby Food
Today, I made ‘Baby Tteokgalbi,’ a perfect side dish for baby food for babies starting solids. It’s easy to make and great for freezing, making it a highly recommended baby food option! Let’s get started with making Baby Tteokgalbi. 😀
Main Ingredients
- 100g minced beef
- 100g minced pork
- 30g baby vegetable cubes (or finely minced vegetables)
- 30g rice flour (wheat flour or starch can also be used)
- 3g minced garlic
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
*For babies who can have a little seasoning, you can add baby soy sauce to taste.
*The ratio of beef to pork can be adjusted according to your preference. You can make it with just beef, but adding a little pork makes the texture softer.
*Feel free to use any vegetables you have in your refrigerator. I used 10g of zucchini, 10g of carrot, and 10g of onion.
Step 2
Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and start kneading. If your ingredients are frozen, take them out at room temperature to thaw before you begin. I didn’t drain the blood from the meat separately, but if you prefer, you can lightly pat it dry with paper towels before using. 🙂
Step 3
The more you knead the mixture, the chewier and more cohesive the tteokgalbi will become. Knead it well to ensure it binds together nicely and develops a pleasant chewy texture.
Step 4
Divide the mixture into portions suitable for one baby serving. Making individual portions makes it easy to take out and cook one at a time. 🙂 Shape them into round tteokgalbi patties or make them into stick shapes for easier handling. Keep the thickness under 2cm; if they are too thick, they may not cook through completely.
Step 5
I’m going to freeze 3 of the patties for later. Wrap each one individually with plastic wrap, place them in a zip-top bag, and store them in the freezer. Taking out one at a time to cook is very convenient! 🙂
Step 6
I cooked them in an air fryer at 160℃ for 10 minutes on each side, for a total of 20 minutes. Cooking times and temperatures may vary slightly depending on your air fryer model. Adjust the temperature and time as needed for your specific appliance. 🙂
Step 7
Your baby tteokgalbi is ready with a wonderfully soft texture! Even without any added seasoning, the natural flavors are delicious and tender, making them perfect for babies. 🙂
