Meanwhile, add in homemade meatballs, mochi in Aburaage, and soft ingredients and cook till they are cooked through.

Instructions to make Homemade Kimchi Hot Pot with Fluffy Tofu Meatballs:

1. This time, I used this "Chef Kawagoe's Recommended" kimchi. I recommend it since it's exactly at 200 g, and has a delicious "umami" taste from vegetables and seafood.
2. Combine and mix all the A- ingredients.
3. It's done once it's mixed like this.
4. Peel the skin off the carrot, and thinly slice it into strips using a peeler.
5. Slice like this. Thinly slice the remainder of the carrot and put them all together.
6. Using a clean cloth, squeeze out excess water from the tofu.
7. Squeeze out as much water as you can, and once it looks crumbly like this, it's done.
8. Combine and mix all the ingredients from step 7 and B-.
9. Mix well until it starts to get sticky.
10. In a hot pot containing 6 cups of water, add in the seasoning ingredients from step 3 and bring to a boil over medium heat. Spoon the tofu meatballs from step 9 into the pot.
11. Cover the pot and cook for 5 minutes over medium heat. It's done once the meatballs start to float to the surface like this. Set aside the meatballs in a bowl at this point.
12. For vegetables, let's prepare the ones you like. Make sure to drain excess oil from the aburaage (cut into your preferred size) by pouring boiling water over it.
13. Add those veggies that take time to cook first, such as the core of the bok choy, Chinese cabbage, etc.
14. Once they're wilted a little, add the carrot and aburaage.
15. To finish, add the enoki mushrooms, mizuna greens, Chinese chives, kimchi, and tofu meatballs. It's done after having simmered for about 5 minutes. It's a delicious soup with plenty of flavor.

Once the soup base has boiled, you can start adding your meat and seafood first to ensure that they cook thoroughly. Meanwhile, add in homemade meatballs, mochi in Aburaage, and soft ingredients and cook till they are cooked through. When you cook sliced beef, hold a piece on the end of chopsticks and dip it in the boiling broth. Stir in stock, curry paste, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder and ginger. Cover and lock lid into place.

Foods That Make You Happy

Many of us think that comfort foods are bad for us and that we need to stay away from them. Sometimes, if the comfort food is a sugary food or some other junk food, this is true. Otherwise, comfort foods could be really nourishing and good for you. Some foods honestly do boost your mood when you eat them. If you seem to be a little bit down and in need of an emotional pick me up, try a number of these.

Eggs, you might be surprised to find out, are great at fighting depression. Just make sure that you don’t toss out the egg yolk. The egg yolk is the part of the egg that is the most crucial in terms of helping elevate your mood. Eggs, the egg yolks particularly, are loaded with B vitamins. B vitamins can be great for raising your mood. This is because they help your neural transmitters–the parts of your brain that dictate your mood–run better. Try to eat an egg and feel happier!

Put together a trail mix out of seeds and/or nuts. Peanuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, and so on are all great for helping to raise your mood. This is because seeds and nuts have lots of magnesium which raises your brain’s serotonin levels. Serotonin is a feel-good chemical substance that directs the brain how to feel at any given point in time. The higher your levels of serotonin, the more pleasant you are going to feel. Not just that, nuts, specifically, are a fantastic protein source.

Cold water fish are great if you want to feel better. Herring, trout, tuna, wild salmon, and mackerel are all full of omega-3 fats and DHA. These are two substances that increase the quality and function of the gray matter in your brain. It’s true: consuming a tuna fish sandwich can basically help you overcome depression.

It’s easy to overcome your bad mood when you consume grains. Quinoa, barley, millet, etc are excellent at helping you have a happier mood. They help you feel full too which can actually help to make your mood better. Feeling famished can really bring you down! The reason these grains can improve your mood is that they are not hard for your stomach to digest. These foods are easier to digest than others which helps promote a rise in your blood glucose which in turn kicks up your mood to a happier place.

Green tea is wonderful for moods. You were sure it had to be in here somewhere, right? Green tea is high in a certain amino acid known as L-theanine. Studies have shown that this amino acid essentially stimulates brain waves. This helps better your mental acuity while having a relaxing effect on the rest of your body. You knew green tea could help you be healthier. Now you are well aware that it helps you to raise your moods also!

So you see, you don’t need junk food or foods that are terrible for you so you can feel better! Try a few of these instead!
