Instructions to make Macrobiotic White Miso Cauliflower Soup:
- Wash the dirt off the burdock root, and shave it (as if you're sharpening a pencil) into pretty thick shavings.
- Cut the onion into wedges, then cut each wedge into 4 pieces crosswise. Cut up the carrot roughly. Cut the cauliflower and starchy root vegetable into bite-sized pieces.
- Heat up the vegetable oil in a pan and stir fry the burdock root. Stir fry over medium heat slowly to bring out the sweetness of the burdock root. It will start to smell sweetly aromatic.
- Once the burdock root starts smelling nice, add the onion and stir fry. When the onion is translucent, add the carrot and continue stir frying.
- Add the rest of the ingredients - the cauliflower, starchy root vegetable, dried shiitake mushroom, dried daikon radish and 1 cup (200 ml) of water. Cover the pot with a lid and simmer.
- After simmering for about 15 minutes, add the white miso and shio-koji to taste. Add the soy milk last and heat. Be sure not to let it boil.
- You only need to rinse the dried shiitake mushroom. If you soak it in water, the flavors will leech out. Break the dried shiitake mushroom up with your hands before adding it to the pot.
Learn How to Improve Your Mood with Food
For the most part, people have been trained to believe that “comfort” foods are terrible for the body and should be avoided. Often, if your comfort food is candy or another junk food, this is very true. Other times, comfort foods can be utterly healthy and good for us to eat. Some foods honestly do boost your mood when you consume them. When you feel a little down and are in need of an emotional boost, test out some of these.
Eggs, believe it or not, can be really terrific at fighting back depression. You should make sure, though, that what you make includes the egg yolk. The egg yolk is the part of the egg that is the most crucial in terms of helping elevate your mood. Eggs, particularly the egg yolks, are full of B vitamins. The B vitamin family can be great for boosting your mood. This is because these vitamins help your neural transmitters–the parts of your brain that affect your mood–function better. Eat an egg and jolly up!
Put together some trail mix of nuts or seeds. Peanuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, and so on are all terrific for helping to boost your mood. This is possible since these foods are high in magnesium which boosts your production of serotonin. Serotonin is a feel-good chemical substance that directs the brain how to feel at any given time. The higher your levels of serotonin, the better you are going to feel. Nuts, in addition to elevating your mood, can be a superb source of protein.
Cold water fish are great if you are wanting to feel better. Salmon, herring, tuna, mackerel, trout, etc, they’re all high in omega-3 fatty acids and DHA. Omega-3 fatty acids and DHA are two things that promote the quality and the function of your brain’s grey matter. It’s true: consuming a tuna fish sandwich can seriously raise your mood.
Some grains are actually wonderful for repelling bad moods. Teff, barley, millet, quinoa, etc are all great for helping you feel happier. These grains fill you up better and that can help improve your moods also. Feeling famished can really make you feel terrible! The reason these grains are so great for your mood is that they are not difficult to digest. These foods are easier to digest than others which helps promote a rise in your blood glucose which in turn kicks up your mood to a happier place.
Your mood can really be helped by green tea. You just knew it had to be mentioned in this article, right? Green tea is high in a specific amino acid called L-theanine. Studies have found that this specific amino acid can actually induce brain waves. This helps better your mental sharpness while calming the rest of your body. You were already aware that that green tea helps you feel better. Now you are well aware that green tea helps you to elevate your moods as well!
Now you realize that junk food isn’t necessarily what you need to eat when you want to help your moods get better. Try a couple of of these tips instead.
