1. Slice the garlic. Finely shave the burdock root. Cut the konnyaku into any shape you prefer. Cut up the cabbage and chives so that they're easy to eat.
2. Blanch the konnyaku in boiling water to get rid of the odor. If you cut it up like this, kids can pick up the pieces easily!
3. Wash the offal well in water, and cut into easy to eat pieces. Washing it cuts some of the odor.
4. Make the Basic Hotpot Soup.
5. Add sliced garlic, sesame seeds (ground is OK) and takanotsume to the soup. Crush the sesame seeds as you add them. The soup is done.
6. Blanch the offal in boiling water. You can just add it to the soup if you like.
7. If you are adding the offal as is, add it first, then the other ingredients.
8. For the last course, champon is the best. Just add champon noodles to the leftover soup, and simmer. Or you can add cooked rice to make porridge instead.

Turn to Food to Improve Your Mood

A lot of us have been taught to believe that comfort foods are bad and should be avoided. At times, if your comfort food is candy or some other junk food, this holds true. Otherwise, comfort foods could be very healthy and good for you. A number of foods really do elevate your mood when you eat them. When you feel a little down and are needing an emotional boost, test out a couple of these.

Eggs, believe it or not, are great for helping you combat depression. You must be sure, however, that what you make includes the egg yolk. The egg yolk is the part of the egg that is the most important in terms of helping elevate your mood. Eggs, the yolks particularly, are loaded with B vitamins. B vitamins can genuinely help you boost your mood. This is because they increase the function of your brain’s neural transmitters (the parts of the brain that affect how you feel). Try consuming a few eggs to cheer up!

Put together a trail mixfrom different seeds and nuts. Your mood can be elevated by consuming peanuts, almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, etcetera. This is because seeds and nuts have plenty of magnesium which raises your brain’s serotonin levels. Serotonin is the “feel good” chemical substance that directs your brain how you feel all the time. The more of this chemical in your brain, the happier you’ll feel. Nuts, along with bettering your mood, can be a superb protein source.

Cold water fish are excellent for eating if you want to combat depression. Salmon, herring, tuna, mackerel, trout, etc, they’re all chock-full of omega-3 and DHA. DHA and omega-3s are two things that actually help the grey matter in your brain work a lot better. It’s true: consuming a tuna fish sandwich can basically help you fight depression.

Some grains are actually wonderful for driving away bad moods. Teff, barley, millet, quinoa, etc are all excellent for helping you feel better. These grains fill you up better and that can help elevate your moods as well. Feeling famished can be a real downer! The reason these grains are so good for your mood is that they are easy for your stomach to digest. These foods are easier to digest than others which helps kick start a rise in your blood sugar which in turn takes your mood to a happier place.

Green tea is actually good for your mood. You were sure green tea had to be in this article somewhere, right? Green tea has a lot of an amino acid called L-theanine. Studies have discovered that this amino acid actually induces brain waves. This will improve your brain’s concentration while simultaneously loosening up the rest of your body. You knew green tea could help you feel so much healthier. Now you are well aware that green tea helps you to lift your moods as well!

Now you know that junk food isn’t necessarily what you need to eat when you want to help your moods get better. Try several of these instead!
