Quick and easy breakfast and baon for kids
It’s a weekend once again and mommies everywhere are busy
planning on what would they serve to their kids on breakfast and what easy to
prepare baon for school will they make. The truth is most mothers or any person
tasked to prepare meals and baon for kids are overwhelmed with the meal planning
for their children. With the hectic schedule on each school day morning,
mommies tend to choose foods that are practical to prepare which would end by
serving the usual unhealthy processed foods.
To provide a good solution to kids’ breakfast and baon
woes Good Housekeeping Philippines and Ajinomoto Philippines collaborated on a
wonderful event last July 26, 2015 at the Robinson’s Galleria Ortigas. Ajinomoto’s
food editor and chef Roselle Miranda demonstrated practical ways of cooking healthy
breakfast and baon for kids which inspires all mommies to be creative in
the kitchen.

With the help of Ajinomoto Eat Well, Live Well products
any mommy can easily whip up a nutritious breakfast and yummy baon for their
children in the quickest time possible. Through the cooking demo, spectators
were able to learn important tips and tricks that can make kids breakfast and
baon preparation easy and quick.
Tips in preparing breakfast and baon for
kids:
Variety- with most kids exposed to the usual processed foods it’s time to serve
them a dish with variety. Incorporating meat and veggies in one dish is one way
of serving children a well-balanced meal. Just like the CHICKEN CHEESE POTATO
HASH and POTATO CHICKEN FRITATA chef Roselle was able to present dishes that
are very easy to prepare and at the same time healthier. In these recipes chef
used green peas, diced potatoes, chicken chunks (fillet) and cheese.
Fried Foods-
children cannot resist a golden brown fried chicken and cooking fried foods the
healthy way decreases oil absorption in food. The healthiest way to fry chicken
or any other food type is to ensure that you’ve got the correct temperature.
Chef Roselle explains that when frying you should use enough oil and hit the
right temperature of 365 to 375'F since this will avoid excess oil to sip into
the food. A simple way to test this is to drop a small piece of food and when
it floats (not sink) above the oil you finally got the perfect temperature for frying
chicken. For improved texture and taste on fried dishes Ajinomoto has come up
with TASTY BOY all-purpose breading mix and CRISPY FRY seasoned crumbs. Using
these Ajinomoto products can save you time and effort in making fried foods
taste even better.
Cheese and more cheese- kids just love cheesy foods like cheese flavored chips
and dishes with cheese. Chef Roselle demonstrated how it easy it is to prepare
cheesy dishes for kids such as CORN & HAM MAC n’ CHEESE and the delectable
CHEESY HAM & CORN OMELET. Adding cheese to kids’ meal ensures them of the
added nutritional benefits (more calcium, minerals and vitamins) while making
them enjoy their food.
Seasoning-
is a clever way to make dishes taste better while lessening the use of salt and
fat. Ajinomoto umami seasoning is the best way to bring out the 5th
taste or the natural umami flavor. Utilizing the seasoning that we all loved
for many many years, Ajinomoto ‘vetsin’ cuts out the time in preparing meals
for your kids while keeping the food healthier and tastier. FDA approved for
everyone to enjoy and savor.
Healthy Juice Drink- it is mandatory for moms to include ready to drink
juices to their kids to supplement their baons. But the thing is, most grocery
bought powdered or tetra packed juices are filled with lots of sugar and more
calories which eventually affect kids’ health. With more sugar, kids are more susceptible
to tooth decay, hyperactivity, obesity and diabetes. And to solve this problem Ajinomoto
is now introducing the first healthy powdered juice drink in the Philippines. AMINO
FRES-C is a highly nutritious powder juice drink that is loaded with amino
acids, arginine and glutamine that function as building blocks of protein.
With
Amino Fres-C juices kids will have stronger bones, healthier immune system,
improved muscular development and energy that sustains kids’ active lifestyle.
Amino Fres-C contains 70% fewer calories than the leading brands and packed
with real fruity goodness. Retailing for only Php8.00 per liter pack, Amino
Fres-C comes in refreshing mango, orange and pineapple flavors.

coffee book table “PINOY UMAMI- The Heart of Philippine Cuisine” and a recipe
