Since my son, Patrick, started to eat solid food without the need to make it into paste-like consistency, we tried to let him eat with us. He will sit at the table with us, gets his utensils, and since he was around 15-16 months he started to try using utensils to feed him self. It is a mess, of course, and most of the times we have to clean the floor and our son. But he loves to feed him self and becomes more and more "independent". Hm, not really...
Anyway, this week I have chicken drumsticks. I wanted to make spicy Indonesian food, called ayam bumbu rujak (do not know how to translate it). But, of course not suitable dish for a soon-to-be-toddler (here, he is considered as "dreumes" which not yet 2 years old but also not baby anymore).
So, I put aside 3 chicken drumsticks for him. I thought they could make as 3 meals for him. Hm, wrong calculation. The first meal, he finished 1 drumstick with the rice and vegetables. But, the second meal, he finished two left over drumsticks and only a little bit of rice plus some vegetables. Next time I should have different strategy.
Ok, here is the simple recipe I used to make the dish.
Ingredients
3 chicken drumsticks *(of course you can use more, I only put aside those 3 drumsticks for 1 little man)
1 1/2 tsp light soy sauce
2 cloves garlic (chopped) or 1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp ginger powder
1 tsp brown sugar
1 pinch salt
1 pinch pepper
5-7 cherry tomato cut into small pieces *(of course you can subtitute it with other type of tomato)
sesame oil
olive oil
How to make it
1. Heat the pan with olive oil
2. Fry the garlic for around 1 minute
3. Add the chicken drumsticks. Fry it until it is 3/4 cooked
4. Add the soy sauce, brown sugar, salt, pepper, ginger powder and tomatos
5. Stir it until the chicken is fully cooked. If it is needed, you can add 1-2 tbs of water
6. Add sesame oil and stir it for additional 1 minute
7. Serve it with warm steamed rice
