The ingredients needed to make My Family's Go-to Recipe for Okonomiyaki:

1. Get 1/2 of a medium head Cabbage (chopped)
2. Get 200 grams Pork belly slices (cut into bite sizes)
3. Prepare Batter: (It's a very thick, sticky batter)
4. Prepare 6 tbsp ●Cake flour
5. Take 4 tbsp Nagaimo, also called mountain yam (grated into pulp)
6. Take 4 tbsp Dashi stock (or water + dashi stock granules)
7. Prepare 2 ●Eggs
8. Take 2 tbsp ●Tempura crumbs
9. Make ready 1 Okonomiyaki sauce
10. Take 1 Mayonnaise
11. Make ready 1 Aonori
12. Get 1 Bonito flakes

Steps to make My Family's Go-to Recipe for Okonomiyaki:

1. Mix the batter ingredients marked with a ●. Mix just the flour and dashi stock first, and then it'll be easier to add other ingredients. Sakura shrimp and squid (not listed) make good additions to the batter too.
2. Toss about one and a half handfuls of the cabbage and a ladle full of the batter into a bowl, and mix well. Pour the mixture onto a pre-heated electric griddle, and spread it evenly into a thick circle.
3. The batter will not flow out around the mound of cabbage. You might be worried that there isn't enough batter, but it's fine. The only concern here would be whether there's enough cabbage.
4. Top this with as much sliced pork belly as you like. Use thin slices and line them up so that there's no space in between! Or, at least that's how my family likes it.
5. When the bottom has browned, flip the patty over. Make absolutely sure not to press or smash the patty! You'll have to be content with just adjusting the shape a little.
6. After a bit, it's easier to use 2 spatulas to flip the patty over again.
7. Brush the top with your preferred okonomiyaki sauce, top with aonori and katsuobushi (bonito flakes), and enjoy.
8. This time, the okonomiyaki was cooked by my husband, who usually doesn't cook it. The shape came out poorly, but see! Even an amateur was able to make this. It didn't fall apart.

Foods That Can Make Your Mood Better

In general, people have been conditioned to think that “comfort” foods are not good for the body and need to be avoided. But if your comfort food is candy or junk food this might be true. Otherwise, comfort foods may be extremely nourishing and good for you. Several foods honestly do raise your mood when you consume them. If you are feeling a little bit down and you need a happiness pick me up, try a couple of these.

Eggs, believe it or not, can be actually wonderful at dealing with depression. Just make sure that you do not throw away the yolk. The yolk is the most essential part of the egg in terms of helping raise your mood. Eggs, the egg yolk particularly, are stuffed full of B vitamins. B vitamins can be fantastic for boosting your mood. This is because the B vitamins help your neural transmitters–the parts of your brain that control your mood–run better. Consume an egg and feel happier!

Make a trail mixfrom different seeds and nuts. Peanuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, etc are all terrific for helping to raise your mood. This is because these foods are rich in magnesium, which helps to raise serotonin production. Serotonin is the “feel good” chemical substance that tells your brain how you feel at all times. The more serotonin you have, the more pleasant you will feel. Nuts, in addition to elevating your mood, can be a superb protein source.

If you would like to overcome depression, try consuming some cold water fish. Cold water fish including tuna, trout and wild salmon are chock full of DHA and omega-3 fats. DHA and omega-3s are two things that promote the quality and the function of your brain’s grey matter. It’s true: eating a tuna fish sandwich can seriously boost your mood.

Some grains are truly great for repelling bad moods. Barley, millet, quinoa, etc are excellent at helping you feel happier. These foods can help you feel full for longer too, helping you feel better. Feeling famished can be terrible! The reason these grains are so great for your mood is that they are not hard for your body to digest and process. You digest them quicker than other foods which can help increase your blood sugar levels, which, in turn, helps make you feel happier, mood wise.

Green tea is truly great for your mood. You were simply expecting to read that here, weren’t you? Green tea has been found to be rich in an amino acid called L-theanine. Research has proved that this amino acid induces the production of brain waves. This helps sharpen your mental energy while at the same time relaxing the rest of your body. You already knew that green tea helps you be healthier. Now you are aware that green tea helps you to lift your moods as well!

So you see, you don’t need to stuff your face with junk food when you are wanting to feel better! Try some of these hints instead.
