Let’s face it: getting kids (and kids at heart) to eat their veggies can be quite a challenge. Many parents have scoured the internet for ways and ideas to make vegetables more appealing to their kids – myself included. While fried foods and savory proteins can win anyone’s heart, the sight of fresh veggies isn’t always something they see positively.

What is behind this nutritious Ulam idea?
One of the best parts of it ulam idea is how easy it is to find the ingredients to make it! In fact, the goal is not to spend more on groceries, but to find new and innovative ways to work with what you already have. To make this ulam idea you will need the following:
- Knorr cream of mushroom soup. The hints of sweet, smoky and umami Flavors draw many to a delicious mushroom soup. Mushroom soup is considered a popular way to start any meal by kids and adults alike. And when it comes to main dishes, too, dishes with the same creamy smoky flavor are always welcome. This creamy chicken with mushrooms or even the classic chicken a la king are great examples! So if they work so well with protein, why not try veggies? In this nutritious Ulam idea, your mushroom soup becomes the perfect sauce base for tasty and sweet veggies.
- quail eggs. To add the creaminess of it ulam Idea, you have 12 quail eggs! Common in other vegetable mixes like chopsuey, quail eggs are rich in flavor and will surely complement the other flavors of this dish.
- Core corn, green beans and carrots. In terms of the veggies we’re going to use today, we’re looking no further than these three! Corn is a sweet, delicious, and bite-sized starch that you can enjoy in this dish as well as a light snack. Green beans and carrots, on the other hand, are as nutritious as they are delicious – brimming with health benefits that will keep your body healthy and your stomach happy! You can add other veggies to the mix if you like! Sugar snap peas or even green peas can be a fine addition to this delicious combination.
- Onion and garlic, butter and salt and ground black pepper. Last but not least, these are the basic ingredients that will hold your dish together. You’ll find that instead of using cooking oil like we usually do, we’ll be cooking with butter instead! Using butter allows for a creamier and richer version of this dish; we all love buttered corn and carrots, right? With onions and garlic as your pantry staples, and salt and ground black pepper to taste, you’ve got yourself a winning combo ulam Idea! If you want to make your dish creamier, you can also add pieces of cheese.
How tasty is it?
Imagine the most delicious combination of sweet and savory; you have that in it ulam Idea! I personally love the different layers of flavor you get from all the components working so well together. They have the slight smokiness and richness of your mushroom sauce; the creaminess of your quail eggs; and all the different textures and flavors that come with your veggies. Plus, you even get that slight buttery flavor that comes from cooking with it! All in all, this is a dish that will make your mouth water just by looking at it. Take a bite and you will want more and more!
How to do it
Make that ulam The idea is actually incredibly simple!
You start by melting three tablespoons of butter in a pan that you use in place of your usual cooking oil. Sauté your garlic and onion slices until your onions soften; then add your carrot slices. Cook this for about 2 minutes. Next add all your corn and beans and cook another 2 minutes!
Add Knorr mushroom cream soup
In a separate bowl, mix together 38 grams of your Knorr Cream of Mushroom Soup and water. Stir these together before pouring them into the pan with your other veggies. Stir and cook until your mixture thickens; You don’t want your dish to be too soupy, but the mushroom soup and water mixture certainly makes a nice and viscous sauce!
As a final step, season your dish with salt and ground black pepper to taste. Add your 12 quail eggs that you cooked earlier and stir gently until satisfied and the ingredients are well incorporated. Turn off the stove and serve this dish with your favorite fried main course!
