The ingredients needed to make Creamy Dango Miso Soup:

2. Make ready 1360 ml (45.98 fl oz) Water *160 ml (5.41 fl oz) is for dango balls
3. Get 220 g (7.76 oz) Dango rice flour / Joushinko rice flour
4. Make ready 500 g (17.63 oz) Vegetables *whatever you like is fine
5. Take 3 tbsp Miso paste *white
6. Take to taste Green onion

Instructions to make Creamy Dango Miso Soup:

1. Put water and fish broth packets in a pan and wait 30 mins.
2. Peel and slice vegetables. I'm using radish, carrots, burdock and konnyaku this time.
3. If you want to add potatoes or sweet potatoes, soak in water for 10 mins. to remove any scum.
4. Take out 160 ml of water which soaked the fish broth packets in the pan and pour in the bowl. * Depends on the dango powder you will use, the amount of water might be slightly different. Follow the indicated guide of the packages.
5. Put vegetables into the pan and stew with low heat.
6. Put dango rice powder in the bowl and knead well.
7. Scoop some and make an one - bite size flat round shape and put in the pan as soon as it's made.
8. Once the dango is cooked, it comes to the surface just like gnocchi pasta.
9. Put the miso paste in, melt well, and stew with low heat for 15 mins.. You can add a pouched egg if you like. My grandmother put one in for breakfast.
10. Stop the heat, take out fish broth packets and rest the soup for 30 mins., and then heat again to serve.
11. While resting & cooling down, the good flavor of miso will soak deep inside the ingredients and a slight amount of dango rice powder melts into the soup. It makes this soup rich & creamy, just like a white stew.
12. Pour the soup into a serving bowl and put some green onion on top for a nice presentation!
13. You can make the miso soup with your favorite vegetables! This is the one I cooked with sweet potatoes the other day. Tofu & wakame seaweed combination is also good!
14. You can get all the ingredients I used here at Jungle Jim's in Cincinnati, OH. They are in the Japanese section. White miso is the light yellow / beige one, dango powder is the blue one (Joushinko, pink one, is also okay if dango powder is not available.)
15. Konnyaku jelly is the gray slimy rectangle one just above the tofu. It is made from the a potato called the "devil's tongue". It is a Japanese healthy food which is low in fat and contains lots of fiber, to reduce absorbing cholesterol and sugar. Also has effects to prevent diabetes, high blood pressure, and arteriosclerosis.

Try Using Food to Elevate Your Mood

In general, people have been taught to believe that “comfort” foods are not good for the body and must be avoided. At times, if your comfort food is basically candy or other junk foods, this holds true. Soemtimes, comfort foods can be utterly healthy and good for us to eat. Several foods really do improve your mood when you consume them. If you feel a little bit down and you need a happiness pick me up, try a couple of these.

Eggs, would you believe, are fantastic for helping you combat depression. Just be sure that you don’t get rid of the yolk. The egg yolk is the most important part of the egg iwhen it comes to helping raise your mood. Eggs, the egg yolk especially, are high in B vitamins. B vitamins can actually help you boost your mood. This is because they help your neural transmitters–the parts of your brain that dictate your mood–function better. Try consuming a couple of eggs to jolly up!

Make a trail mix out of seeds and/or nuts. Peanuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, and so on are all great for helping to elevate your mood. This is because these foods are loaded with magnesium, which helps to raise serotonin production. Serotonin is a feel-good chemical that directs the brain how to feel at any given time. The higher your serotonin levels, the happier you will feel. Not just that but nuts, particularly, are a terrific protein source.

If you would like to battle depression, try consuming some cold water fish. Wild salmon, herring, mackerel, trout, and tuna are all full of omega-3 fatty acids and DHA. These are two things that really help the grey matter in your brain work a lot better. It’s true: chomping on a tuna fish sandwich can really help you fight depression.

Grains can be excellent for fighting a bad mood. Millet, quinoa, barley, etc are terrific at helping you feel better. These grains can help you feel full for longer as well, which is a mood improver. Feeling starved can be awful! The reason these grains help your mood so much is that they are not difficult to digest. You digest these grains more quickly than other foods which can help boost your blood sugar levels, which, in turn, helps make you feel more pleasant, mood wise.

Your mood can actually be helped by green tea. You were sure it had to be in here somewhere, right? Green tea has a lot of an amino acid known as L-theanine. Research has proved that this amino acid stimulates the production of brain waves. This will improve your brain’s concentration while also relaxing the rest of your body. You likely already knew how easy it is to be healthy when you drink green tea. Now you are aware that it can help improve your mood also!

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