Hello everybody, it’s John, welcome to our recipe page. Today, we’re going to prepare a distinctive dish, spring rolls (shiso + umeboshi + sea weed). One of my favorites food recipes. For mine, I will make it a little bit tasty. This is gonna smell and look delicious.
The Bento Buster makes some yummy Umeboshi Plum, Shiso, & Chicken Spring Rolls. Red shiso or perilla leaves give color and flavor to the umeboshi. Wash them, take off any tough stems, sprinkle with a little salt and massage the leaves with your hands until they are limp. Umeboshi and Ume plum products are a rich part of Asian culture.

Spring rolls (shiso + umeboshi + sea weed) is something which I have loved my entire life. They’re nice and they look wonderful.
To begin with this recipe, we have to first prepare a few components. You can cook spring rolls (shiso + umeboshi + sea weed) using 9 ingredients and 7 steps. Here is how you can achieve it.

Shiso (or shiso leaves or perilla) looks like this. It's a popular Japanese herb used in many Japanese cooking recipes. To make umeboshi is somewhat of an art form, and, unfortunately, not something it appears I'll be able to tackle at home. Good umeboshi will keep for years, and some say that aging them further improves the quality and flavor.
Steps to make Spring rolls (shiso + umeboshi + sea weed):
- Remove strings of chicken tender. Add sake to boiling water and boil chicken tender until cooked. (approx. 5 minutes on medium heat)
- Cool chicken in icy water. Once cooled, take them out of water and remove extra water.
- Break chicken into small pieces.
- Cut sushi nori into half. Remove pits from umeboshi and mash them. Wash shiso leaves and remove extra water.
- Place sushi nori, shiso leave and umeboshi and chicken over spring roll wrapper and wrap them as directed on package. Seal the very end. *Add potato starch in 1 tbsp (extra amount) water and mix well. Use this as glue.
- Add oil into a pan, deep enough to fry one side of spring rolls. Heat to 356F. Fry spring rolls until both sides get crispy. (Be careful not to cook too long. This happens very quickly!!)
- Serve and enjoy while still hot!! Dip in soy sauce if desired.
To make umeboshi is somewhat of an art form, and, unfortunately, not something it appears I'll be able to tackle at home. Good umeboshi will keep for years, and some say that aging them further improves the quality and flavor. If iced tea and lemonade is an Arnold Palmer, then this shiso limeade is a Ryo Ishikawa. It's not until you mix the limeade into the purple shiso tea that it turns bright pink, just like the pH tests you did in elementary school with red. Our Chinese spring roll recipe and tangy dipping sauce tastes just like the spring rolls you'd find at dim sum restaurants.
Foods That Can Make Your Mood Better
For the most part, people have been taught to believe that “comfort” foods are not good for the body and must be avoided. Sometimes, if your comfort food is basically candy or other junk foods, this holds true. Otherwise, comfort foods could be very nutritious and good for you. There are a number of foods that, when you eat them, could improve your mood. If you seem to be a little bit down and you’re needing an emotional pick me up, try several of these.
Eggs, believe it or not, can be actually terrific at fighting back depression. You must be sure, though, that what you make includes the yolk. The yolk is the most essential part of the egg iwhen it comes to helping elevate your mood. Eggs, the egg yolk particularly, are stuffed full of B vitamins. B vitamins can really help you raise your mood. This is because these vitamins improve the function of your brain’s neural transmitters (the parts of the brain that affect how you feel). Try to eat an egg and feel a lot happier!
Make several trail mix of nuts or seeds. Peanuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, and so on are all terrific for helping to elevate your mood. This is possible because these foods are rich in magnesium which boosts serotonin production. Serotonin is a feel-good chemical that tells the brain how to feel at any given point in time. The more of this chemical in your brain, the better you’ll feel. Not just that but nuts, particularly, are a great protein source.
If you want to defeat depression, try eating some cold water fish. Salmon, herring, tuna fish, mackerel, trout, etc, they’re all loaded with omega-3 and DHA. These are two substances that boost the quality and function of the gray matter in your brain. It’s true: eating a tuna fish sandwich can greatly boost your mood.
Grains can be excellent for overcoming a terrible mood. Barley, quinoa, millet, teff, etc are all wonderful for helping you feel happier. They help you feel full also which can truly help to improve your mood. It’s not difficult to feel depressed when you are starving! The reason these grains help your mood so much is that they are not hard for your stomach to digest. They are easier to digest than other foods which helps raise your blood sugar levels and that, in turn, improves your mood.
Green tea is actually good for your mood. You were sure green tea had to be included in this article, right? Green tea has been found to be packed full of an amino acid known as L-theanine. Studies have discovered that this amino acid basically stimulates brain waves. This helps raise your mental sharpness while calming the rest of your body. You likely already knew how easy it is to become healthy when you drink green tea. Now you are aware that it can help improve your mood too!
As you can see, you don’t need to stuff your face with junk food when you are wanting to feel better! Go with these hints instead!
