In a perfect world, children would behave all the time, enjoy taking baths, and not want to eat three course meals of junk food a day. As we all know, the world is far from perfect and getting children to eat anything healthy or nutritious can sometimes be a never-ending battle.
Finding a compromise or a middle ground isn’t always easy, but there’s a solution that might solve this parental dilemma. The next time your young ones are petitioning you for some drive through, these three Asian delicacies might be appealing to their taste buds.
Fried Rice
A major staple in many Asian dishes, fried rice can be the best way to sneak some much-needed vegetables to your children. As it’s usually served with peas and carrots, the tangy addition of soy sauce will have them wanting more. Serve with some chicken to maximize the effect of intaking essential carbs and protein. They’ll be trading up french fries for fried rice after just one bite.
Lo Mein Noodles
It doesn’t take an expert dietician to point out that kids love noodles. From mac & cheese to spaghetti, children slurp them down with unbridled enthusiasm. As one of the most popular dishes imported from Asia, Lo Mein goes together well with chicken or sweet and sour pork. Your kids will love this combination. Unfortunately, we can’t do anything about those incessant slurping noises.
Teriyaki
For many years, melted cheese on broccoli got kids to dine in on vegetables of the green variety. The same method of persuasion can be used with teriyaki. A marinade derived from soy sauce, ginger, and sugar, this savory glaze goes well with chicken, pork, rice, and a variety of other foods. The tangy glaze and mild sweetness will leave kids no choice but to surrender their willpower. Teriyaki glazed protein usually gets a little messy, so don’t forget a good supply of napkins.
