Home » Baby Food Recipes: Easy Vegetable Rice Recipe
By Marielle Altenor
I recently shared a little video on Facebook of my daughter eating vegetable rice. If you saw the video, then you would see how much she loved it. I thought it would be an excellent idea to share the recipe with you. This easy vegetable rice recipe is low in sodium which makes it a perfect for your baby.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup Of finely diced Broccoli
One carrot finely diced
1/2 cup Of finely diced onions
One teaspoon of sesame oil (or olive oil)
1 cup fully cooked rice
2 cups of water
One teaspoon of salt for taste (optional)
Directions:
Add two cups of water to your fully cooked rice.
In a separate pan add your sesame oil and stir in your vegetables for about 1 minute (to coat in the oil).
Pour the vegetables over the rice, stir and cook on medium heat for 15 min.
Lower the heat and let simmer for 10 minutes.
Let cool before serving. My daughter gave me the stink eye because she woke up hungry and the food wasn’t cooled down enough for me to feed her.
I made enough for fivemeals. You can freeze it and serve it throughout the week. My daughter loved this meal. I plan on making this easy vegetable rice recipe in the future.
This recipe is easy to make, and I bet your little one will love it. My eight years old son wasn’t a fan. Something about “adding chicken” to the rice for it to “taste better”- the little brat! But that’s not a bad idea! Maybe next time I make this recipe I will add some chicken to it. The Little Lady does LOVE her chicken!

Rice goes so well with veggies and it’s easy for the babies to eat, especially when they’ve just started with eating solids. I really like this simple recipe! It’s quite healthy as well!

This is exactly what I served my son when he was a baby before. They sure love their vegetable rice.
My mom used to make me something like this. Looks nice and simple!

It’s better in so many ways. I’m having a fun time making new and different recipes for her.

You’ll probably save a lot by making and freezing your own meals. I really should have done that.

Great recipe. My daughter in law is planning on making baby food from scratch, and staring away from processed baby food.
Such a cool idea to make the baby food yourself. At least then you know what is really in it!
Thank you! I’ll be doing a LOT of baby food making in a few months!

My daughter has been making her own baby food. It’s such a great way to feed your baby exactly what you want and not have to worry about what’s in it.
- Scott says
I have to admit we never made our own. Wish we had because I’m sure it is much better for the child.

Ahhhhh this definitely brings me back!!!! I miss making baby food for my daughter. I had so much fun doing it.
- Nicole Escat says
I definitely love this for my son, he loves to eat delicious nd tasty food and as in his early age, I chose to taught him to eat healthy foods like veggies.
- Kathy says
This actually looks really good. I’d even eat this even if it’s for babies! My girls would probably love it too. We love our rice and veggies!
- Up Run for Life says
My kids never did enjoy eating baby food. They always preferred eating table food. This sounds like a great recipe.
- Alicia Taylor says
Hmmm… Seems like this would also be great for someone overcoming a tummy bug. It looks pretty mild. I love that you used sesame oil. It imparts such a nice flavor.

It is similar to porridge, just not as watery! LOL

When my kids were little I used to make their baby food. This is a great recipe that you can make a lot of.
- Toughcookiemommy says
I remember when my two boys had their own little plates and cups like these. My boys both loved rice dishes and still do now that they are older.
I don’t know anything about babies and what to feed them, but I am living for her ‘stink eye’ though – too cute!
