Easy Dog Treats Recipe: Prawn Risotto

Eating with Ji is a video series that showcases fuss-free yummy treats made for dogs, by a lazy pawrent who wants to act fancy. Do note that the treats are meant to be consumed as part of a balanced diet, and should be fed in moderation.

Prawns are not part of Duoji’s regular diet but I give some to her occasionally, when it’s on the hooman’s dinner menu. Normally I just boil them and add them to her dinner but then I thought, why not jazz it up a little to make the treat a little extra special for her. Hence, the idea for prawn risotto – doggie version.

I highly recommend boiling the prawns in their shells, with the head, so as to extract the goodnesss of the prawn head roe for the broth. In the video below, I didn’t have the prawn heads on hence the broth looks less creamy.

Another time, I made this again but I mixed in a little bit of Absolute Holistic Lobster Bisque for extra oomph.

I hope you’ve enjoyed this recipe. Do share your creations with us.

Until our next post!

Easy Dog Treats Recipe: Salmon Sliders

Eating with Ji is a video series that showcases fuss-free yummy treats made for dogs, by a lazy pawrent who wants to act fancy. Do note that the treats are meant to be consumed as part of a balanced diet, and should be fed in moderation.

The idea to create special treats for my dog came about one day when I was watching Masterchef on TV. When I saw the contestants getting all creative and coming up with yummy dishes, I thought to myself, hey I could do that for Duoji too. Plus point, she’s probably less critical than Gordan Ramsey.

Of cos, me being me, my aim is to keep things as simple and fuss-free as possible. Hence the idea for the Eating with Ji series was born – to create ‘fancy’ yummy dog treats with easily available ingredients under a short amount of time.

The first treat I made was mini burgers or sliders. I used a commercial dog bread for the bun but you can use regular bread as well if your dog is able to eat it. In general, bread is safe for dogs provided they don’t have any allergies but do limit the amount, which was why I made mini burgers. I sometimes feed Duoji some keto-friendly (no carbs) bread as well, just a small piece, so you could use that too for a grain-free option.

For the filling, you could use canned dog food or small pieces of cooked meat. In the video below, I used Pet Cubes (cos lazy) but I’ve also done the same thing with small pieces of pan-fried minced pork as well. Just use your furkid’s favourite food, but make sure the ‘patty’ is moist enough to stick together.

I hope you’ve enjoyed this recipe. Do share your creations with us.

DIY Doggie Mooncakes

Mid-Autumn Festival will be upon us soon. What better way to celebrate the occasion than to enjoy some mooncakes and tea (non-caffeinated) together with our furry pals?

Here’s an easy DIY doggie mooncake recipe that I’d like to share today. In this recipe, I featured two flavours – salmon pumpkin and cheesy chicken. Feel free to customise the mooncakes with your furkid’s favourite fillings. Think other proteins, different seasonings, chopped up meat jerkies, fruit puree or even durian if you’re feeling indulgent.

You’ll need:

  • 350g Sweet potatoes
  • 50g Pumpkin
  • 80g Salmon
  • 80g Chicken fillet
  • Mozzerella cheese
  • Mooncake mould
  • Weighing scale

Makes approximately 10 mini mooncakes. To be consumed as a treat or as part of a balanced diet.

Step by step instructions

  1. Peel and wash the sweet potatoes. Cut into cubes.
  2. Wash and de-skin the pumpkin. Cut into cubes.
  3. Steam the sweet potatoes and pumpkin on high heat for around 15 minutes, till soft. Alternatively you may choose to boil them.
  4. Remove from heat and mash them separately. Set aside for use later. The sweet potato would be your mooncake ‘skin’.
  5. Pan fry the salmon and chicken fillet till fully cooked. Add a drizzle of coconut oil for added fragrance (optional). You may also choose to boil or bake the proteins.
  6. Chop the salmon and chicken into smaller pieces. These will be your mooncake filling.
  7. Weigh out the ingredients according to the volume of your mooncake mould. The skin to filling ratio is approximately 3:1. For a 40g mooncake, I used 30g of sweet potatoes for the ‘skin’ and 10g of salmon and pumpkin combined. Likewise for the other flavour, I used 10g of chicken and cheese combined.
  8. Flatten the sweet potato into a disc shape with your palm. Place the filling in the middle of the ‘skin’ and carefully wrap it up. Shape into a compact ball. If there are cracks or the filling is spilling out, reduce the amount of filling slightly.
  9. Shape the mooncake using your preferred mooncake mould and you’re done!

Notes:

  • You may use other types of sweet potatoes for the ‘skin’ – the orange or yellow ones. Regular potatoes work as well. For more colour variants, you may also colour the potatoes with natural food colourings eg. beets for red, turmeric for mustard, spinach juice for green etc.
  • Pumpkin tend to be more moist and sticky when mashed, hence it’s not suitable to be used as the ‘skin’. You can try mixing in some flour if you prefer to use pumpkin for the ‘skin’.
  • I used the old-school wooden mooncake mould which takes a little more effort to get the mooncakes out. You may brush the mould with a little bit of oil or dust with some flour to make the removal easier. The plunger style type of mould would be more convenient.
  • Less is more when it comes to the fillings. The sweet potato ‘skin’ is drier, more crumbly and less stretchy compared to a real dough. You may find it challenging to form a compact ball if you put too much fillings in.

Ending off with a quick visual summary of the recipe.
