Instructions to make Homemade Kimchi Hot Pot with Fluffy Tofu Meatballs:

1. This time, I used this "Chef Kawagoe's Recommended" kimchi. I recommend it since it's exactly at 200 g, and has a delicious "umami" taste from vegetables and seafood.
2. Combine and mix all the A- ingredients.
3. It's done once it's mixed like this.
4. Peel the skin off the carrot, and thinly slice it into strips using a peeler.
5. Slice like this. Thinly slice the remainder of the carrot and put them all together.
6. Using a clean cloth, squeeze out excess water from the tofu.
7. Squeeze out as much water as you can, and once it looks crumbly like this, it's done.
8. Combine and mix all the ingredients from step 7 and B-.
9. Mix well until it starts to get sticky.
10. In a hot pot containing 6 cups of water, add in the seasoning ingredients from step 3 and bring to a boil over medium heat. Spoon the tofu meatballs from step 9 into the pot.
11. Cover the pot and cook for 5 minutes over medium heat. It's done once the meatballs start to float to the surface like this. Set aside the meatballs in a bowl at this point.
12. For vegetables, let's prepare the ones you like. Make sure to drain excess oil from the aburaage (cut into your preferred size) by pouring boiling water over it.
13. Add those veggies that take time to cook first, such as the core of the bok choy, Chinese cabbage, etc.
14. Once they're wilted a little, add the carrot and aburaage.
15. To finish, add the enoki mushrooms, mizuna greens, Chinese chives, kimchi, and tofu meatballs. It's done after having simmered for about 5 minutes. It's a delicious soup with plenty of flavor.

Learn How to Elevate Your Mood with Food

Most of us think that comfort foods are bad for us and that we need to stay away from them. Often, if your comfort food is a sugary food or some other junk food, this is very true. Soemtimes, comfort foods can be perfectly nutritious and good for us to eat. There are a number of foods that actually can improve your moods when you consume them. If you are feeling a little bit down and you’re needing an emotional pick me up, try several of these.

Eggs, would you believe, are great for helping you fight depression. Just make sure that you do not throw out the yolk. The yolk is the most important part of the egg iwhen it comes to helping elevate your mood. Eggs, specifically the yolks, are rich in B vitamins. B vitamins can truly help you boost your mood. This is because they help in bettering the function of your neural transmitters, the components of your brain that affect your mood. Try to eat an egg and feel better!

Put together several trail mix of nuts or seeds. Peanuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, etcetera are all great for helping to elevate your mood. This is because these foods are high in magnesium, which helps to raise your production of serotonin. Serotonin is the “feel good” chemical that dictates to your brain how you feel at all times. The higher your serotonin levels, the better you will feel. Nuts, on top of bettering your mood, can be a great protein source.

If you want to overcome depression, you should eat some cold water fish. Salmon, herring, tuna, mackerel, trout, etcetera, they’re all high in omega-3 fatty acids and DHA. Omega-3 fatty acids and DHA are two things that improve the quality and the function of your brain’s grey matter. It’s true: consuming a tuna fish sandwich can earnestly boost your mood.

Grains can be wonderful for overcoming a terrible mood. Millet, quinoa, barley, etc are excellent at helping you feel happier. They help you feel full as well which can really help to better your mood. Feeling starved can actually make you feel awful! The reason these grains are so good for your mood is that they are not hard for your stomach to digest. These foods are easier to digest than others which helps promote a rise in your glucose levels which in turn kicks up your mood to a happier place.

Green tea is actually good for your mood. You were just anticipating to read that here, weren’t you? Green tea is high in a particular amino acid known as L-theanine. Studies prove that this particular amino acid can essentially stimulate brain waves. This helps improve your mental energy while at the same time calming your body. You probably already knew how easy it is to be healthy when you consume green tea. And now you are aware that green tea can help improve your mood too!

You can see, you don’t need to eat junk food or foods that are bad for you just so to feel better! Try a few of these hints instead.
