The ingredients needed to make Shio Koji Lemon Hot Pot:

1. Take 3 tbsp Shio-koji
2. Make ready 2 tbsp Sake
3. Take 3 tbsp Usukuchi soy sauce
4. Make ready 1400 ml Kombu based dashi stock (I used a ready-made scallop stock)
5. Make ready 1 half a head Napa cabbage
6. Get 1 Leafy greens such as mizuna, chrysanthemum greens, etc.
7. Get 1 Various mushrooms - shiitake, enoki, eringi, shimeji, etc.
8. Prepare 1 Green onion
9. Get 1 Cod, shrimp, and other seafood that you like
10. Take 1/2 Lemon
11. Make ready 3 tbsp Lemon juice

Instructions to make Shio Koji Lemon Hot Pot:

1. Put the kombu dashi into an earthenware pot. Add the shio-koji, sake, and light soy sauce, and bring to a boil.
2. Starting with the vegetables that take longest to cook (the stems of the napa cabbage, etc.), put the hot pot items into the pot. Once you've added everything else in, lay the lemon slices on top, and let it simmer gently.
3. Once the fish and vegetables have cooked through, add the lemon juice, quickly simmer just a little more, and it's done.
4. The broth is already a little salty, so you can eat this just as it is. Or, if you prefer, enjoy it seasoned with a little extra lemon and soy sauce.
5. It's convenient to have bottled organic lemon juice stored in your fridge.

Foods That Can Make Your Mood Better

A lot of us have been taught to think that comfort foods are not good and should be avoided. At times, if your comfort food is candy or some other junk food, this is very true. Otherwise, comfort foods could be really nutritious and good for you. Some foods actually do boost your mood when you eat them. If you seem to feel a little bit down and you’re in need of a happiness pick me up, try a couple of these.

Eggs, you might be surprised to learn, are wonderful at battling depression. Just be sure that you do not throw out the yolk. The yolk is the part of the egg that matters most in terms of helping elevate your mood. Eggs, specifically the yolks, are full of B vitamins. B vitamins can actually help you raise your mood. This is because they help your neural transmitters–the parts of your brain that affect your mood–run better. Try consuming a couple of eggs to cheer up!

Make a trail mixout of different seeds and nuts. Almonds, cashews, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and so on are all great for raising your mood. This is because seeds and nuts have a lot of magnesium which raises your brain’s serotonin levels. Serotonin is the “feel good” natural substance that directs your brain how you feel at all times. The more you have of it, the better you will feel. Nuts, on top of improving your mood, can be a great protein source.

Cold water fish are excellent for eating if you are wanting to combat depression. Salmon, herring, tuna, mackerel, trout, etc, they’re all high in omega-3 fatty acids and DHA. Omega-3 fatty acids and DHA are two things that raise the quality and the function of your brain’s grey matter. It’s true: eating a tuna fish sandwich can actually help you fight depression.

It’s easy to overcome your bad mood when you consume grains. Teff, barley, millet, quinoa, etc are all wonderful for helping you feel better. They help you feel full as well which can actually help to make your mood better. It’s not difficult to feel a little bit off when you feel famished! The reason these grains elevate your mood is that they are easy for your body to digest. These foods are easier to digest than others which helps jumpstart a rise in your glucose levels which in turn takes your mood to a happier place.

Green tea is excellent for moods. You were sure it had to be in here somewhere, right? Green tea is loaded with a certain amino acid referred to as L-theanine. Research has proved that this amino acid induces the production of brain waves. This helps focus your mental energy while simultaneously calming your body. You probably already knew it is not hard to become healthy when you consume green tea. Now you are well aware that it helps you to lift your moods too!

So you see, you don’t need to eat junk food or foods that are not good for you to feel better! Try these suggestions instead!
