Simple Salmon Rice Balls

Carefully inspect the flaked cooked salmon with clean hands to ensure absolutely no bones remain, as they pose a serious choking hazard for babies and toddlers.

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the slightly cooled short-grain rice, flaked salmon, and finely chopped peas.

Drizzle the low-sodium soy sauce (if using) over the mixture for flavour. Add a small splash of water to help the starches activate, and mix well until the ingredients are evenly distributed.

With clean, slightly damp hands, scoop small amounts of the mixture and gently press them into bite-sized balls, roughly the size of a grape. Place them on a parchment-lined steaming basket or tray.

Steam the rice balls for 5 minutes until they are warmed right through and the chopped peas are completely soft and tender. Let them cool to a safe, warm temperature before serving to your baby.
