The ingredients needed to make Japanese Chawanmushi (Steamed Egg Custard):

1. Get 2 Egg (It was 115g this time)
2. Prepare 345 g(115g×3) Hot water
3. Prepare 1 Chicken stock cube(Consomme cube)
4. Get Any of your favorite ingredients
5. Prepare ☆This time I used Japanese honeywort("Mitsuba") and Japanese fish cake("Kamaboko")

Steps to make Japanese Chawanmushi (Steamed Egg Custard):

1. Cut ingredients (honeywort and Japanese fish cake) in small pieces.
2. Crack 2 eggs into a bowl and weigh them. (It was 115g for 2 eggs this time.)
3. Prepare 345g(=115g×3) of hot water. Mix a chicken stock cube with the water. (Since each stock cube brand has different taste, please adjust the amount of a stock.)
4. ☆Tip 1☆ The ratio of egg and soup (chicken stock soup this time) should be "1: 3"!! This is a key to make a beautiful Chawanmushi! Since 2 eggs were 115g this time, we need 115g×3=345g of soup should be mixed together.
5. ☆Tip 2☆ After measuring the amount of soup, please leave it for a while and cool it. If you don't have time, you can put ice cubes in a bowl and carefully put the bowl with soup inside.
6. Pour water to a pot or pan(until around 3cm height) and sink a cloth. Boil the water. - ☆Tip 3☆ By placing a cloth inside boiled water, it will avoid the cups to tremble and the surface of Chawanmushi will be smoother.
7. Put ingredients into a heat resistant cups. - ☆Tip 4☆ Choose small cups. If you cook with a large cup or plate, it will take a lot more time to heat until inside and more chance to fail.
8. Once the chicken soup gets cool, mix it with eggs.
9. ☆Tip 5☆ Pour the mixture of egg with soup into each cup with using a colander. This is optional but you will get a smoother texture.
11. ☆Tip 6☆ Cover the cups tightly with aluminum foil.
12. ☆Tip 7☆ Put the cups in a boiling pot and cover with lid(Do not open the gap). <Cook 3 minutes on a medium high heat, 10 minutes on a low heat, stop heat and steam for 3 minutes.>
13. Tilt a cup. If the soup is clear, it's done!

Foods That Can Make You Happy

Many of us have been taught to think that comfort foods are terrible and should be avoided. Sometimes, if your comfort food is essentially candy or other junk foods, this holds true. Other times, however, comfort foods can be completely nutritious and it’s good for you to eat them. There are several foods that, when you eat them, may improve your mood. When you are feeling a little down and are in need of an emotional pick-me-up, test out some of these.

Eggs, you might be surprised to discover, are terrific at fighting depression. Just see to it that you don’t get rid of the egg yolk. The yolk is the most essential part of the egg iwhen it comes to helping raise your mood. Eggs, the egg yolk especially, are rich in B vitamins. The B vitamin family can be terrific for boosting your mood. This is because the B vitamins improve the function of your brain’s neural transmitters (the parts of the brain that tell you how to feel). Eat an egg and feel a lot better!

Make a few trail mix of nuts or seeds. Your mood can be elevated by eating peanuts, almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, etcetera. This is because these nuts are high in magnesium, which helps to increase your production of serotonin. Serotonin is the “feel good” chemical substance that dictates to your brain how you feel day in and day out. The higher your levels of serotonin, the more pleasant you are going to feel. Nuts, in addition to bettering your mood, can be a superb source of protein.

If you want to fight depression, try consuming some cold water fish. Salmon, herring, tuna fish, mackerel, trout, and so on, they’re all high in omega-3s and DHA. DHA and omega-3s are two things that actually help the grey matter in your brain run a lot better. It’s true: eating a tuna fish sandwich can earnestly raise your mood.

It’s not hard to drive away your bad mood when you are eating grains. Barley, millet, quinoa, etc are terrific at helping you feel better. They help you feel full also which can truly help to better your mood. It’s easy to feel low when you feel hungry! The reason these grains can improve your mood is that they are not difficult to digest. They are simpler to digest than other foods which helps kick up your blood sugar levels and that, in turn, improves your mood.

Green tea is fantastic for moods. You knew green tea had to be in this article somewhere, right? Green tea is rich in an amino acid called L-theanine. Research has proven that this amino acid stimulates the production of brain waves. This helps focus your mental energy while simultaneously relaxing the rest of your body. You probably already knew it is not difficult to get healthy when you drink green tea. Now you are well aware that green tea helps you to lift your moods also!

You can see, you don’t have to turn to junk food or foods that are terrible for you so you can feel better! Try several of these instead!
