Instructions to make Pork Ribs & Water Spinach in Tamarind Broth - Filipino Sinigang:

1. Note: My steps may be different from other cooks, but it's the same taste all around. What's important is to soften the pork and make the soup rich with veggies.
2. Boil water in a large pot with bay leaves and ginger. These two are non-traditional. I like using it. Meanwhile, prep the veggies.
3. Once boiling, drop in the pork cube, onions and garlic. Let simmer until the cube dissolves before adding the pork. Don't forget to rub salt on the pork. Boil for 20 mins then add the tomatoes and green chili. Continue boiling for 10 mins.
4. Stir in the tamarind soup mix. Drop in the hard veggies (okra, radish, beans) and continue cooking for 5 more minutes. (Beans in pic should be cut, but I fished these out to eat separately hehe)
5. Drop in the Kangkung stalks (thick parts) to cook a few minutes longer. I like the stalks actually. :) Taste and adjust sourness (add water to lessen) and saltiness. Other cooks use fish sauce, I use salt on this.
6. Finally, place the Kangkong leaves and on top, then cover and turn off heat. It will cook in its residual heat
7. Plate and serve while hot. Best spooned over rice ;)

Foods That Can Make Your Mood Better

Mostly, people have been conditioned to believe that “comfort” foods are terrible for the body and must be avoided. Often, if your comfort food is a sugary food or another junk food, this is true. Other times, however, comfort foods can be altogether healthy and it’s good for you to consume them. Several foods actually do improve your mood when you eat them. When you feel a little down and are needing an emotional pick-me-up, try a couple of these.

Eggs, would you believe, are fantastic for helping you battle depression. Just be sure that you don’t throw away the yolk. The yolk is the most important part of the egg in terms of helping you cheer up. Eggs, the yolk in particular, are rich in B vitamins. The B vitamin family can be great for lifting up your mood. This is because they help in bettering the function of your neural transmitters, the parts of your brain that dictate your mood. Consume an egg and jolly up!

Build a trail mix from seeds and/or nuts. Your mood can be raised by eating peanuts, almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and so on. This is possible since these foods have a bunch of magnesium which raises your production of serotonin. Serotonin is a feel-good substance that dictates to the brain how to feel at any given point in time. The more you have of it, the more pleasant you will feel. Not only that but nuts, specifically, are a great protein source.

Cold water fish are good if you want to feel better. Cold water fish including tuna, trout and wild salmon are high in DHA and omega-3s. These are two things that improve the quality and the function of your brain’s gray matter. It’s true: eating a tuna fish sandwich can earnestly raise your mood.

It’s not hard to fight your bad mood when you eat grains. Quinoa, barley, teff, millet, etc are all good for helping you feel better. They help you feel full as well which can truly help to make your mood better. Feeling hungry can actually make you feel awful! These grains can improve your mood since it’s not at all difficult for your body to digest them. These foods are easier to digest than others which helps jumpstart a rise in your blood glucose which in turn kicks up your mood to a happier place.

Green tea is fantastic for moods. You were simply expecting to read that here, weren’t you? Green tea has been found to be chock-full of an amino acid called L-theanine. Studies show that this particular amino acid can actually induce brain waves. This helps better your mental focus while relaxing the rest of your body. You were already aware that that green tea helps you feel better. Now you are well aware that it helps you to raise your moods as well!

So you see, you don’t need junk food or foods that are bad for you just so to feel better! Try some of these hints instead.
