About this dish
No added salt or sugar
Flavour comes from herbs, spices and the ingredients themselves.
New this season. We gently steam chicken with ginger and garlic so it stays soft and juicy, then serve it on fragrant jasmine rice with tender hispi cabbage in a light tomato sauce.
Steaming keeps the flavours clean and simple, which suits babies tasting ginger for the first time. Soft rice makes it easy for little ones who are moving on to more texture.

Questions parents ask
Can babies eat ginger?
Yes. Ginger adds warmth without heat, and steaming keeps the chicken soft. It comes smooth, lumpy or bite-sized for babies from 7 months.
How do I reheat the ginger steamed chicken?
Microwave for 60 seconds (baby) or 90 seconds (toddler). Add a splash of water and keep the lid on for a softer texture. Rice dishes keep in the fridge for 1 day.
Is there a vegetarian version?
Yes. The vegetarian version uses ginger steamed tofu with the same rice and cabbage. Both versions are dairy-free and egg-free.
