Homemade Vegetable Chicken Nuggets

Angel does not likes her vegetable very much so I usually will hide them inside her ‘meat’ and so far, I am glad that it works ‘most of the time’ because as you can see, the vegetables can’t be separated from the meat so it’s either eat it or don’t eat it at all LoL. I personally love this Homemade Vegetable Chicken Nugget very much because it tastes really good. Angel loves them so much and even hubby asked me to make more for him if I were to make them for Angel again. But the texture of the nugget is much softer then the normal nuggets (because I use 1 small whole egg) and I think it is suitable for young toddler like Angel who doesn’t chew much. Just in case you are interested to know, that’s how I make my own version of Vegetable Chicken Nuggets.

** (P/s: This healthy version of nuggets are not the same as the KFC nuggets, etc :P )

Homemade Vegetable Chicken Nuggets

Ingredients:
- 200g Mince Chicken Breast / Pork Mince
- 1/5 Yellow Onions – finely chopped
- 2 Shitake Mushrooms - finely chopped
- Any Vegetables (I use the stem of broccoli this round) – finely chopped
- 1 small egg
- Corn Flour
- Pepper
- Soy sauce to taste (I did not use any for Angel’s nugget)
- Garlic powder

Method
1. Mix all ingredients together and thicken with Corn Flour to form a slightly watery paste (for young toddler), let it marinate for ½ hour minimum.
2. Heat wok with 2 tbsp oil
3. Scoop mixture into hot oil, pan fried 2 - 3 minutes on each side until slighly golden brown / cooked
4. Eat alone or serve with rice / porridge / mash potatoes

For the Tomato Sauce version, that’s how I make my homemade tomato sauce

Homemade Tomato Sauce

1. Lightly boil whole tomatoes in boiling hot water for 1 minutes
2. Peel skin
3. Blend in a blender into puree (add few tablespoon of water if necessary)
4. Heat up wok with 1 tbsp oil, lightly brown 1 diced small red onions
5. Add in tomato puree bring to boil
6. Add in Sugar, Garlic Powder and Vinegar to taste (Optional)
7. Fold Vegetable Chicken Nuggets into sauce
8. Serve
* Or if you want a quick version, you can just use normal tomato ketchup instead.



Another way I am hiding her vegetable is ----->>>>

Vegetable Meat Dumplings (Wan Tan) with Mee Hoon Soup. Can't really see the vegetable in the meat from the picture above though :P but I am using lettuce in the dumplings.
