To get started with this particular recipe, we have to first prepare a few ingredients. You can have madai ushiojiru (red sea bream fishbone soup) using 6 ingredients and 8 steps. Here is how you cook it.

The ingredients needed to make Madai Ushiojiru (Red Sea Bream Fishbone Soup):
  1. Get 1 from a 1 kg or so fish The bones and head from a red sea bream (madai)
  2. Get 1500 ml Water
  3. Prepare 1 Kombu for dashi stock or kombu dashi stock granules
  4. Get 1 1/2 tsp Natural salt
  5. Take 1 tsp Soy sauce (usukuchi soy sauce if you have it)
  6. Get 1 Garnishes such as green onion, mitsuba, daikon radish sprouts
Steps to make Madai Ushiojiru (Red Sea Bream Fishbone Soup):
  1. Chop the bones and head, salt generously and leave for 15 to 30 minutes. Bring a pot of water to a boil in the meantime (1.5 to 2 liters). Use a pair of kitchen scissors to snip the bones at the joints, as well as the thin parts.
  2. When the water comes to a boil, blanch the bones and head! The head takes 20 to 60 seconds, and the other parts take 10 to 20 seconds. After blanching, take the bones and head out and cool in cold water. Ice water is best, but tap water is fine! This is called "frosting" (shimofuri) the bones and head.
  3. Wash the cooled bones and head under running water. Remove any slimy or bloody bits, scales etc. as you rinse. You can remove any bloody clumps on the bones with a toothpick, but you don't need to be too thorough! If you aren't eating the soup right away, drain off the water and store the fish parts to cook the next day.
  4. Put 1500 ml of water and the blanched and cleaned bones and head from Step 3 plus the kombu in a pot and cook over high heat! The soup will get cloudy, but don't worry about it. Just before it comes to a boil, turn the heat down a bit. You shouldn't let it maintain a rolling boil, but a few bubbles are fine.
  5. Maintain the heat so that the broth isn't bubbling vigorously, but isn't too low either. If bubble bursts occasionally, that's about right! Skim off any scum diligently. The soup will gradually become clear.
  6. When the soup is clear and no more scum rises to the surface, add salt. Add 1 teaspoon of soy sauce to add fragrance, and the seasoning is done!
  7. Add whatever garnishes you like! Besides the ones listed, I suggest myoga ginger for fragrance!
  8. Top a bed of warm rice with sea bream sashimi, simmered kombu, sesame seeds and so on, and pour on some piping hot soup for an sublimely delicious sea bream and rice broth! It is the best appetizer with drinks.

Information on How to Elevate Your Mood with Food

A lot of us have been trained to think that comfort foods are not good and are to be avoided. At times, if your comfort food is basically candy or other junk foods, this can be true. Soemtimes, comfort foods can be very healthy and good for us to consume. A number of foods really do boost your mood when you eat them. If you seem to feel a little bit down and you’re in need of a happiness pick me up, try a couple of these.

Eggs, would you believe, are terrific for helping you fight depression. Just be sure that you do not throw out the egg yolk. Every time you would like to cheer yourself up, the yolk is the most vital part of the egg. Eggs, specifically the yolks, are full of B vitamins. These B vitamins are terrific for helping to raise your mood. This is because the B vitamins increase the function of your brain’s neural transmitters (the parts of the brain that tell you how to feel). Try to eat an egg and feel better!

Put together a few 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 because seeds and nuts have plenty of magnesium which increases your brain’s serotonin levels. Serotonin is the “feel good” natural substance that dictates to your brain how you feel at all times. The more of this chemical in your brain, the better you’ll feel. Nuts, along with raising your mood, can be a great source of protein.

Cold water fish are good if you want to feel better. Cold water fish including tuna, trout and wild salmon are chock full of DHA and omega-3s. These are two substances that promote the quality and function of the gray matter in your brain. It’s true: consuming a tuna fish sandwich can earnestly elevate your mood.

Some grains are actually wonderful for fighting off bad moods. Teff, barley, millet, quinoa, etc are all wonderful for helping you feel happier. They can help you feel full for longer also, which is a mood improver. Feeling starved can be a real downer! The reason these grains are so great for your mood is that they are easy for your stomach to digest. They are easier to digest than other foods which helps raise your blood sugar levels and that, in turn, elevates your mood.

Green tea is excellent for moods. You were just expecting to read that here, weren’t you? Green tea is rich in an amino acid known as L-theanine. Studies prove that this particular amino acid can essentially induce brain waves. This helps better your mental sharpness while relaxing the rest of your body.
