The ingredients needed to make Shio Koji Lemon Hot Pot:

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

Steps 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.

Try Using Food to Improve Your Mood

Most of us have been trained to think that comfort foods are not good and to be avoided. Often, if your comfort food is essentially candy or other junk foods, this can be true. Soemtimes, comfort foods can be utterly healthy and good for us to eat. Several foods really do improve your mood when you eat them. If you seem to be a little bit down and you need an emotional pick me up, try some of these.

Eggs, believe it or not, can be truly wonderful at dealing with depression. Just make sure that you do not throw away the yolk. Every time you wish to cheer yourself up, the yolk is the most essential part of the egg. Eggs, the egg yolks particularly, are rich in B vitamins. These B vitamins are wonderful for helping to boost your mood. This is because these vitamins improve the function of your brain’s neural transmitters (the parts of the brain that affect how you feel). Try eating an egg and be happy!

Build a trail mix from seeds and/or nuts. Almonds, cashews, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, etcetera are all helpful for raising your mood. This is because seeds and nuts have a lot of magnesium which raises 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 all the time. The more of it you have, the better you are going to feel. Nuts, on top of elevating your mood, can be a great source of protein.

Cold water fish are wonderful for eating if you are wanting to beat back depression. Herring, trout, tuna, wild salmon, and mackerel are all rich in omega-3 fatty acids and DHA. These are two substances that increase the quality and function of the gray matter in your brain. It’s the truth: eating tuna fish sandwiches can actually help you battle your depression.

Grains can be great for fighting a terrible mood. Quinoa, millet, teff and barley are all really excellent for helping boost your happiness levels. These foods fill you up better and that can help you with your moods also. Feeling hungry can actually bring you down! The reason these grains are so good for your mood is that they are not difficult for your body to digest and process. You digest these grains faster than other things which can help boost your blood sugar levels, which, in turn, helps make you feel more pleasant, mood wise.

Your mood could really be helped by green tea. You just knew green tea had to be mentioned, right? Green tea is loaded with an amino acid known as L-theanine. Studies prove that this particular amino acid can essentially stimulate brain waves. This helps improve your mental energy while simultaneously making the rest of your body more relaxed. You probably already knew how easy it is to get healthy when you consume green tea. And now you are aware that green tea can help raise your mood too!

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