Food for Kids: Easy Chicken Katsu with Yasai Itame Recipe (Stephen John)

If you are worried that your kids may not be getting the right nutrition from those store-brought chicken nuggets, hotdogs, mac 'n' cheese, cereals, and oats, you can try other recipes that will be inviting to a child's picky palate. Putting in a bit of veggies into their meals will create a balanced meal good for your child's health.

Chicken Katsu is a Japanese style fried chicken that is great with rice and some veggies on the side. Many kids enjoy this particular dish because it is easy to eat like chicken nuggets or fillet. Here is an easy recipe for Chicken Katsu with Yasai Itame or stir-fried vegetables that will be different yet healthier and delicious for your kids.

Ingredients:
- 4 pieces or 5 lbs. of skinless chicken breast fillet
- garlic powder
- flour
- 2 eggs
- Japanese breadcrumbs
- oil for frying
- salt and pepper

For the Yasai Itame:
1 sliced medium onion
1 red bell pepper cut into strips
100 grams beansprouts
500 grams Julienned carrots
1 tbsp soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce
salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons oil

Cooking Directions:

1. For the Chicken:
- Lightly pound the chicken breast fillet with a mallet to flatten. Cover the chicken with a plastic wrap while you pound the chicken. Flatten to about 4 x 3 inches.
- Season the chicken on both sides with garlic powder, salt and pepper.
- Beat 2 eggs in a bowl. Prepare the flour in a separate container. Prepare breadcrumbs in a separate container as well.

- Using a kitchen thong, coat each piece of flattened chicken with flour, dip in eggs, and coat again with breadcrumbs. Make sure that the chicken is fully coated with the breadcrumbs.
- In a frying pan, heat oil and fry each piece of chicken in medium heat until golden brown.

2. For the Yasai Itame:
- In a separate pan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil. Combine all ingredients and stir-fry until ingredients are soft and tender. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Finishing Touches: Using a knife, cut the chicken into strips. Serve with steaming hot rice, Yasai Itame, and add store-brought Tonkatsu Sauce or ketchup for some flavoring.

If you prefer other meat like pork or beef, you can simply replace the chicken with the meat of your choice and follow the same steps. Fish is also a healthier choice.

This recipe will only take a couple of minutes of your time and will be even more enjoyable when you include your kids in the preparation. They can help in coating the chicken, setting the table, and mixing some orange juice, iced tea or lemonade that will go well with this meal. As easy as it is to prepare store-brought chicken nuggets, hotdogs, and microwaveable meals, they don't always provide the good nutrition that you child needs. Investing in their health and increasing your presence by cooking a special meal for them will be valuable for you and your family.

Pressure Cooker Instructions

Method of pressure cooking, that completes cooking by not letting the air out of the cooking vessel, is not so new. This method fastens up the process of cooking, as the boiling point of water inside the vessel gets increased as per the increase in the pressure of the lid. The built pressure makes the water inside the vessel to boil to the highest temperature even before it starts to boil. There are many names by which the pressure cooker is recognized, like steam digester, pressure canners (larger ones) and autoclaves (cookers that are used for the laboratory purposes).

Tips to Operate a Pressure Cookers
The lesser the amount of cooking time, the larger is the saving of the minerals and vitamins in the food. Hence, pressure cooking and pressure frying are the best ways of cooking. By the usage of a pressure cookers, the kitchen also stays clean with not much disturbance caused. There are a few tips that will always be very useful for users and those who are intending to buy themselves a new one.

• Inspect the rubber ring of the cooker regularly and make sure that it is flexible enough as the seal of the pressure cooker depends on this ring. Before using the cooker, check the valves if they are clean and dirt free.
• Don't ever use the cooker for deep frying and always use water, vegetable or meat stock, wine or milk to bring the mixture to boil. Oil will not bring the mixture in the cooker to boil.
• Most of the modern cookers have three valves that release the pressure automatically, in case the pressure inside the vessel gets too high. But, for safety reasons, if in case you find loud hissing sounds coming out of your cooker, make sure you reduce the respective heat source and check for the pressure.
• Always follow the manufacturers instructions and never fill the cooker beyond the mark that is indicated on the inner side of it. Also, use enough amount of liquid so that the food gets cooked properly, without getting burned.
• Once the pressure from the cooker reaches to its upper limit, lower the amount of heat so that the cooker will release gentle and steady steams and then only remove the cooker from the heat.

Pressure Cooker Usage
Here are several general pressure cooker instructions for use and moreover, proper use of the cooker.

• As said earlier, never fill the cooker beyond the maximum fill mark. Always remember that the cooker must never be filled with more than 2/3 with solid and full with liquid and cereals and 1/3 full of pulses.
• Food items like onions and meats must be added first as they enhance the taste of the food. Foods like stews require less liquid and less cooking time too. Minimum required levels for cooking foods in any pressure cooker are 300ml/10fl.oz
• Each additional 15 minutes will require another 150ml/5fl.oz. As the vessel is sealed during cooking, decrease the amount of seasoning (including salt) because it gets concentrated in the cooker.
• Add food recipe ingredients as per the cooking order, meaning, first add meat and then vegetables, so that the recipes doesn't turn out to be a mush!

Instructions for Pressure Cooker Steam Release
Here are several basic and important instructions for releasing the steam.

• The natural and slow pressure release method is always suited for stews, cereals, soups that contain beans and pasta, pulses and tougher meats that take extra time to get cooked. You will simply have to remove the cooker from the heat and let it cool for 10 to 15 minutes for the food to get cooked thoroughly.
• The second steam release method is the quick steam release, that is suited best for fish, soups, vegetables and poultry. There are several modern cookers that are well equipped with an automatic pressure release method. These pressure cookers take less than a minute to release the steam.

Cooker timings change as per the type of food that you are preparing, I mean the thickness of the food and not the weight. Almost everything can be cooked in the pressure cooker, if you know all the pressure cooker cooking instructions, by heart.

How to Make a Cinnamon Pudding Cake

Who doesn't want to show off their best culinary skills and get heaps of compliments for them in return? To start with, these pudding cakes are made from cinnamon which are known as the best antioxidants. That makes cinnamon pudding cakes nutritious right? And before I forget to mention, I have to tell you that cinnamon pudding cakes look and taste like heaven! So let's get started...

Recipe for Apple Cinnamon Pudding Cake
This is one of the best desserts for Christmas. The recipe here is for 6 servings.

Essential Ingredients

• 1 cup flour
• cup sugar
• tsp salt
• 1 tsp powdered cinnamon
• cup milk
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tbsp butter
• cup water
• cup brown sugar
• 1 chopped walnut
• 1 ripe apple, peeled and sliced. Remove the core and seeds.

Procedure
Make it a point to preheat your oven at about 175 C. Now take a baking dish in a square or rectangular shape and grease it well. In a mixing bowl, make a batter of flour, sugar, cinnamon, salt and baking powder. Whip it to make a smooth batter without any lumps. Soften the batter by adding the suggested quantity of milk. Now pour the batter into the greased baking dish. Put the baking dish in the oven and set the timer for approximately 45 minutes. While the cake bakes, heat a clean saucepan. Make a mixture of water, butter and brown sugar in the saucepan and let it boil. Add the chopped walnut pieces and apple slices to it. Boil the mixture till it becomes thick and smooth.

Serving
An apple cinnamon pudding tastes best when served warm. Take your six serving bowls and cut six slices of your freshly baked pudding cake. Now generously pour the hot apple walnut solution on each of the six slices. You may garnish it with a fresh cherry if you like.

Sounds good, doesn't it? I am sure you yearn to try out something more too. So here is one more delicious version of cinnamon pudding cake for you.

Recipe for Chocolate Cinnamon Pudding Cake
If chocolates make way to the hearts of your loved ones, then there is nothing to beat a chocolaty cinnamon pudding cake. The recipe here is for 6 servings.

Essential Ingredients

• 6 ounce bitter chocolate slab
• 1 cup flour
• cup brown sugar
• 1 cup of fresh cream
• 3 large eggs
• 6 tbsp of fresh unsalted butter
• tsp powdered cinnamon
• tsp powdered cloves
• tsp of vanilla extract
• tsp baking powder
• 2 tsp of sugar
• tsp salt

Procedure
Personally, I suggest that you make use of small baking molds in a variety of shapes to make the cake a visual delight. You need six such baking molds. Now grease them evenly with butter. Meanwhile, use your food grinder to grind the bitter chocolate bar, butter, flour, eggs, cream, vanilla extract, cinnamon powder, cloves powder, salt, sugar and baking powder into a smooth batter. Pour the batter evenly into six greased baking molds. Now use tight plastic wraps to cover the molds and refrigerate them up to 5 hours. This sets the batter in the containers. Now without removing the plastic wraps, microwave the molds for approximately 90 seconds. Remove the molds from the microwave and pierce the plastic wraps to let out the excess steam. Immediately cover them to let them steam. This steaming should ideally take place in 10 minutes time. Simultaneously, start beating the cream till it forms a thick white foam. Add the sugar and continue beating the mixture till you see some soft peaks.

Serving
Remove the plastic wraps around the molds and turn the molds upside down onto 6 serving bowls. Generously cover them with whipped cream. You may garnish it with ground cinnamon and grated chocolate. Sounds yummy? It is actually irresistible!

Recipe for Pumpkin Cinnamon Pudding Cake
I have a small pumpkin patch in my backyard. I therefore, couldn't resist using some fresh pumpkins in cinnamon pudding cakes. By the way, this recipe is ideal for your Halloween party too! Like the previous recipes, this one is for 6 servings too.

Essential Ingredients

• 1 tsp cinnamon powder
• cup fresh butter
• 2 tbsp butter (in separate bowl)
• 1 cup brown sugar
• cup sour cream
• cup grated pumpkin
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cups flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• tsp salt
• tsp dried ginger powder
• tsp nutmeg powder
• 1 cup boiling water

Procedure
I suggest that you start the procedure by heating the oven at 350 C. Make sure to grease your baking tray alongside with some butter or non-stick baking spray. Now take a bowl for mixing the batter. Start by mixing cup fresh butter with cup brown sugar. Use a hand blender to make the mixture fluffy. Now add the grated pumpkin, sour cream and vanilla extract to the above mixture. Use the blender to make the whole mixture fluffy. You may now add flour, salt, baking powder to the mixture. start mixing the batter vigorously with a spoon. Now add the ginger powder, nutmeg powder and cinnamon powder in the prescribed quantities. Mix the batter well and pour it into the greased baking tray. Sprinkle 1 cup of brown sugar all over the batter. take 2 tbsp of butter and melt it in 1 cup of boiling water. Now pour this solution on top of the batter. Funny as it may sound, this method helps to create a yummy cake with delicious cinnamon sauce at the bottom of the baking tray. Now set the tray in the oven for not more than 50 minutes. Use a toothpick to ensure that the cake is thoroughly baked.

Serving
This pudding cake is to be served when it cools down. You may serve it with some fresh vanilla ice cream or with a generous helping of pumpkin sauce.
