Whole Wheat Veg. Noodles For Kids

Whole Wheat Veg. Noodles:

Is there any kid who doesn’t like noodles? Why kids, even adults love them. My son who is four years old is no different but he himself prefers whole wheat ones only. Thankfully he is not addicted to it as he always prefers a variety of foods. I kept refraining using them in our regular meal as I was only able to source partial wheat products or those with durum wheat or maida based ones. I have tried making noodles just like the street food style during our early days of marriage(more than 4 years ago), I wasn’t really so aware of the availability Whole Wheat Veg. Noodles in the market and to be frank we weren’t too bothered about it until our son became 3.5 yrs.

Whole Wheat Veg. Noodles:

He had not tasted them until then. Our hunt for the perfect healthy and tasty variant began when our son started liking Whole Wheat Veg. Noodles. I have tried a few brands and I found Del Monte Spaghetti, Whole Wheat (Click link to buy) to be good. You may also try Colavita Spaghetti. Both of them are worth trying as they are made of whole wheat. Recently I tried whole wheat noodles from Sprouta Foods. It seems to be a good option and it is whole wheat.

The below recipe has a very small quantity of soya sauce.

I make Whole Wheat Veg. Noodles once in several months and hence I feel they don’t really make any harm. For kids below 12 months, please skip all sauces and salt in this recipe. If you would prefer making this Whole Wheat Veg. Noodles often kindly use a low sodium soy sauce for kids. Use only homemade tomato sauce. I have taken utmost care to keep this Whole Wheat Veg. Noodles recipe safe and healthy for kids of all age since it is always a showstopper among them.

P.S:

Adjust spices as per your taste.

You can also make the same like this Chappathi Noodles Recipe

To make it taste like restaurants you can add Hakka masala which is sold but please use it very occasionally and to a smaller extent.

Add the soy sauce to a very minimal level and add when the vegetables have turned crisp. Don’t let it burn. Best would be to avoid it.

Check and eliminate gluten and soy allergy before trying this recipe.

Always have a word with your doctor before introducing any new food to babies
