- Add corn starch and mix it in well, set aside
- If you have to cook your noodles, do that now. I'm using a fresh udon noodle this time that does not require pre-cooking. Cook and set aside if you need to.
- Cut your cabbage into small pieces, I'm using napa cabbage here, but any cabbage should work
- Cut your onion into smallish dice
- Cut your pepper in a small dice. I don't like Bell pepper, so I am using a Hungarian wax pepper instead, any mild pepper should work.
- Slice your mushrooms. I'm using crimini here, but button or shitaki would work

- Once your chicken is about half cooked, add the broth, stir until the broth is gone.
- Once your chicken is just cooked, about the time the broth is gone, add your noodles, stir them to heat, about 1-2 minutes
- Turn your heat down to medium low. Stir your sauce, add it in, stir. Heat until it bubbles and its the thickness you like.
- Serve, garnish with sesame seeds, green onion, cilantro or parsley
Turn to Food to Improve Your Mood
Most of us have been trained to believe that comfort foods are bad and should be avoided. However, if your comfort food is candy or junk food this might be true. Other times, though, comfort foods can be altogether healthy and it’s good for you to eat them. There are a number of foods that, when you consume them, could boost your mood. If you feel a little bit down and you’re in need of a happiness pick me up, try a few of these.
Eggs, would you believe, are terrific for helping you battle depression. You should make sure, though, that what you make includes the egg yolk. The yolk is the most important part of the egg in terms of helping raise your mood. Eggs, the yolk particularly, are stuffed full of B vitamins. B vitamins can actually help you raise your mood. This is because they help in bettering the function of your neural transmitters, the components of your brain that control your mood. Consume an egg and be happy!
Make several trail mix of nuts or seeds. Almonds, cashews, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and so on are all great for raising your mood. This is because seeds and nuts have plenty of magnesium which boosts your brain’s serotonin levels. Serotonin is a feel-good chemical substance that tells the brain how to feel at any given time. The more serotonin you have, the happier you are going to feel. Not only that, nuts, particularly, are a great protein source.
Cold water fish are great for eating if you wish to battle depression. Wild salmon, herring, mackerel, trout, and tuna are all rich in omega-3 fatty acids 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 basically help you fight depression.
It’s not hard to drive away your bad mood when you eat grains. Quinoa, barley, teff, millet, etc are all excellent for helping you be in a happier state of mind. They fill you up better and that can help improve your moods as well. Feeling starved can truly make you feel awful! The reason these grains are so wonderful for your mood is that they are easy to digest. They are easier to digest than other foods which helps kick up your blood sugar levels and that, in turn, elevates your mood.
Your mood can actually be helped by green tea. You were simply expecting to read that, weren’t you? Green tea is packed full of an amino acid called L-theanine.
