Take all ingredients out 20 min before (room temperature) Cutting board Paring knife Kitchen scale Mixing bowl Steamer pot Fish tweezers Do NOT serve if baby is egg-allergic CRITICAL: leaving a fish bone is very dangerous Green bell pepper skin is hard to digest Do not cut too large: choking hazard Always cook fish well (no raw fish for baby) Do not add salt: baby's immature kidneys Cut ALL pieces the same size for even cooking For 12-18 months: thinner pieces (1 cm) CRITICAL: confirm NO egg allergy before serving ALWAYS peel green bell pepper for baby Always check fish bones twice Take out 30 min before for better incorporation 2
