To begin with this recipe, we have to prepare a few components. You can cook spam and egg sushi roll using 15 ingredients and 6 steps. Here is how you cook it.

- Get 6 eggs

Steps to make Spam and Egg Sushi Roll:
- In a bowl, while cooked rice is still hot, mix with rice vinegar, toasted sesame seeds (optional) and about 2-3 tablespoons of sugar. Save the rest of the sugar for spam marinade. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, stir together soy sauce, oyster sauce, and remaining sugar until sugar is completely dissolved. Marinate cut spam in sauce for at least 5 minutes. Fry/cook spam for 2-3 minutes on each side.
- Beat eggs and cook just like how you would cook scrambled eggs (add salt and pepper to taste). Cut cooked scrambled eggs in 1" strips.
- Place Nori/seaweed sheet smooth/shiny side down. Place and spread a small amount of rice to a quarter of an inch thickness (about 3-4 tablespoons, we don't want to add too much as it might get too thick and difficult to roll). Make sure to leave about 2 inches of nori/seaweed sheet on the far end without rice to be able to seal it shut (by wetting it a little) after rolling.
- Assemble other ingredients like cut spam, egg, cucumbers and/or carrots on top of the rice. Add a little bit of mayonnaise. Roll Nori making sure to apply pressure to tighten the roll. Use a bamboo mat with cling wrap on top to help with the rolling process.
- To serve, cut each roll into eight pieces. Arrange sushi slices on platter. Decorate by squeezing mayonnaise on top. Chill and serve with dipping sauce.
Try Using Food to Boost Your Mood
Mostly, people have been conditioned to think that “comfort” foods are not good for the body and have to be avoided. But if your comfort food is candy or junk food this is true. At times, comfort foods can be perfectly nourishing and good for us to consume. Some foods really do elevate your mood when you consume them. If you feel a little bit down and you need an emotional pick me up, try several of these.
Eggs, you may be surprised to learn, are wonderful at battling depression. Just be sure that you don’t get rid of the egg yolk. The yolk is the part of the egg that is the most crucial in terms of helping you cheer up. Eggs, the egg yolks in particular, are high in B vitamins. B vitamins can genuinely help you elevate your mood. This is because these vitamins help your neural transmitters–the parts of your brain that affect your mood–run better. Eat a few eggs to cheer up!
Build a trail mix out of seeds and/or nuts. Peanuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, and so on are all fantastic for helping to elevate your mood. This is possible since these foods are rich in magnesium which promotes serotonin production. Serotonin is called the “feel good” substance that our body produces and it tells your brain how you should be feeling day in and day out. The more of it you have, the better you are going to feel. Nuts, along with elevating your mood, can be a super protein source.
If you wish to overcome depression, you should eat some cold water fish. Cold water fish such as tuna, trout and wild salmon are chock full of DHA and omega-3 fats. These are two things that really help the grey matter in your brain function a lot better. It’s true: eating a tuna fish sandwich can greatly elevate your mood.
Some grains are truly excellent for fighting off bad moods. Teff, barley, millet, quinoa, etc are all wonderful for helping you feel happier. These grains can help you feel full for longer also, which can help your mood too. Feeling starved can really bring you down! These grains can improve your mood as it’s easy for your body to digest them. They are simpler to digest than other foods which helps bring up your blood sugar levels and that, in turn, raises your mood.
Green tea is excellent for moods. You were just anticipating to read that in this article, weren’t you? Green tea is rich in a particular amino acid known as L-theanine. Studies have found that this particular amino acid can essentially induce brain waves. This will better your brain’s concentration while simultaneously calming the rest of your body. You probably already knew how easy it is to become healthy when you drink green tea. Now you are well aware that it helps you to lift your moods as well!
Now you can see that junk food isn’t necessarily what you need to eat when you wish to help your moods get better. Try several of these instead!
