The ingredients needed to make Madai Ushiojiru (Red Sea Bream Fishbone Soup):

1. Take 1 from a 1 kg or so fish The bones and head from a red sea bream (madai)
2. Take 1500 ml Water
3. Get 1 Kombu for dashi stock or kombu dashi stock granules
4. Make ready 1 1/2 tsp Natural salt
5. Take 1 tsp Soy sauce (usukuchi soy sauce if you have it)
6. Make ready 1 Garnishes such as green onion, mitsuba, daikon radish sprouts

Instructions to make Madai Ushiojiru (Red Sea Bream Fishbone Soup):

1. Chop the bones and head, salt generously and leave for 15 to 30 minutes. Bring a pot of water to a boil in the meantime (1.5 to 2 liters). Use a pair of kitchen scissors to snip the bones at the joints, as well as the thin parts.
2. When the water comes to a boil, blanch the bones and head! The head takes 20 to 60 seconds, and the other parts take 10 to 20 seconds. After blanching, take the bones and head out and cool in cold water. Ice water is best, but tap water is fine! This is called "frosting" (shimofuri) the bones and head.
3. Wash the cooled bones and head under running water. Remove any slimy or bloody bits, scales etc. as you rinse. You can remove any bloody clumps on the bones with a toothpick, but you don't need to be too thorough! If you aren't eating the soup right away, drain off the water and store the fish parts to cook the next day.
4. Put 1500 ml of water and the blanched and cleaned bones and head from Step 3 plus the kombu in a pot and cook over high heat! The soup will get cloudy, but don't worry about it. Just before it comes to a boil, turn the heat down a bit. You shouldn't let it maintain a rolling boil, but a few bubbles are fine.
5. Maintain the heat so that the broth isn't bubbling vigorously, but isn't too low either. If bubble bursts occasionally, that's about right! Skim off any scum diligently. The soup will gradually become clear.
6. When the soup is clear and no more scum rises to the surface, add salt. Add 1 teaspoon of soy sauce to add fragrance, and the seasoning is done!
7. Add whatever garnishes you like! Besides the ones listed, I suggest myoga ginger for fragrance!
8. Top a bed of warm rice with sea bream sashimi, simmered kombu, sesame seeds and so on, and pour on some piping hot soup for an sublimely delicious sea bream and rice broth! It is the best appetizer with drinks.

Discover How to Boost Your Mood with Food

Mostly, people have been conditioned to believe that “comfort” foods are not good for the body and should be avoided. At times, if your comfort food is a sugary food or another junk food, this is very true. Other times, however, comfort foods can be completely nutritious and it’s good for you to consume them. There are several foods that basically can improve your moods when you consume them. When you are feeling a little down and are needing an emotional pick-me-up, try a few of these.

Eggs, believe it or not, are terrific for helping you combat depression. Just make sure that you don’t get rid of the yolk. The egg yolk is the part of the egg that is the most important in terms of helping you cheer up. Eggs, particularly the egg yolks, are loaded with B vitamins. B vitamins can be fantastic for boosting your mood. This is because they help in improving the function of your neural transmitters, the parts of your brain that affect your mood. Eat an egg and cheer up!

Build a trail mix from seeds and/or nuts. Almonds, cashews, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and so on are all good for elevating your mood. This is because seeds and nuts have lots of magnesium which increases your brain’s serotonin levels. Serotonin is known as the “feel good” substance that our body produces and it tells your brain how you should be feeling day in and day out. The more of it you have, the more pleasant you are going to feel. Not only that but nuts, specifically, are a great protein food source.

Cold water fish are wonderful for eating if you wish to beat back depression. Salmon, herring, tuna fish, mackerel, trout, and so on, they’re all chock-full of omega-3 fatty acids and DHA. These are two substances that boost the quality and function of the gray matter in your brain. It’s true: eating a tuna fish sandwich can actually help you overcome depression.

Grains can be wonderful for driving away a terrible mood. Quinoa, millet, teff and barley are all truly great for helping increase your happiness levels. These grains fill you up better and that can help you with your moods too. Feeling famished can be a real downer! These grains can elevate your mood because it’s easy for your body to digest them. You digest these grains more quickly than other things which can help boost your blood sugar levels, which, in turn, helps make you feel happier, mood wise.

Green tea is really great for your mood. You were simply anticipating to read that, weren’t you? Green tea is rich in a specific amino acid known as L-theanine. Research has discovered that this amino acid induces the production of brain waves. This helps improve your mental energy while at the same time making the rest of your body more relaxed. You already knew that green tea helps you be healthier. Now you know that green tea can improve your mood as well!

As you can see, you don’t need to consume all that junk food when you wish to feel better! Try some of these tips instead.
