- Rice noodles1/2 cup
- Sesame oil1/2 tsp
- Tofu1/4 cup
- Water1/4 cup
Steps
Prep the Noodles: Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Add rice noodles and cook until soft (about 3-5 minutes). Drain using a colander, rinse with cool water, and set aside.
Sauté the Spinach: In a frying pan, heat 1/4 cup of water over medium heat. Add baby spinach and cook until it wilts and becomes soft (about 2-3 minutes). Remove the spinach and set aside.
Cook the Tofu: In the same pan, add the finely chopped tofu and lightly sauté for 3-4 minutes until it’s soft but holds its shape.
Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked noodles and sautéed spinach back into the pan with the tofu. Drizzle with a small amount of sesame oil (optional) for extra softness and stir everything gently for 2-3 minutes, ensuring the ingredients are well combined and warmed through.
Serve Let the dish cool slightly before serving to babies, ensuring it's soft enough for teething.
