Baby Meal -- Wat Dan Misua (This noodle in egg gravy) 滑蛋面线

Misua is a type of very thin noodle made from wheat flour, one of the very few wheat foods in the southern part of China. It was considered to be a very precious ingredient back in the old days as wheat was very hard to come by in the south.

As recent as just tens of years back that the Hokkien does not eat anything made with wheat but misua. It is a kind of food specialized for occasions or only when someone is sick.

I remembered the time mum prepared misua soup for me on my birthday or when I wasn't well. Great memories, with lots of loves, how can I not relate misua to the feelings of love.

I made this as baby A's lunch yesterday and really liked the idea that the misua was rolled up and browned to set, it is much easier for baby's small hands to handle and the noodle does not become soggy fast.

面线是很适合小宝宝的一种面食，口感软糯，也很好消化。

唯一的缺点就是宝宝自己不容易抓了吃。所以每次做面线我都需要一口口的喂俊宝，这对刚刚学会自己抓着吃的宝宝来说有点太没有挑战性了。

后来有一天看一个美食节目，厨师把煮好的面线卷起成团，稍微煎了定型之后再处理。觉得这样的做法吃的时候可以切成小块，宝宝抓着吃很方便，面线也不那么快变糊，是个不错的点子。

于是昨天就做了滑蛋面线给俊宝做午饭。他吃得很欢快哦！
