Kids Bolognese Rocket Rice Pizza
Delicious and fun! An easy recipe that’ll brighten your kid’s meal and they wouldn’t even know it’s healthy. This space-themed dish, Kid’s Bolognese Rocket Rice Pizza recipe is shared by home cook Fong Luan. She’s a mummy of three and has a list of amazing kids recipes to share.
This Kid’s Bolognese Rocket Rice Pizza dish has all the characteristics of a pizza but is healthy and nutritious as it has fibre from the rice, protein from the chicken and vegetables from the capsicum. This dish is also a great way to introduce new food to your kids. You can simply sneak in more vegetables or change the type of rice to brown to boost their fibre intake.
Create a bit of fun for your kids by making it into a shape of a rocket! In this recipe, she shares how you can make your own healthy rice pizza crust and top it off with homemade pizza toppings. For the rice pizza crust, we used PaddyKing Jasmine Fragrant Rice as it is aromatic and deliciously moist! It also holds in shape after baking and you can easily press out the shape with a mould. It also helps to cool the rice first before you mould out the shape.
As for the filling, we made a classic, chicken bolognese and sprinkled a generous amount of cheese over it. When cutting nori sheets, do remember to store it in a ziplock bag and avoid contact with water. It’s easier to cut when the nori sheets are dry and crispy.
This is a space-tacular meal idea for kids of all ages and grown-ups may want to try it too! Get those aprons ready and have your kids involved, it’ll be the best meal ever!
PaddyKing Jasmine Fragrant rice is now available online and you can purchase it here.
