To get started with this particular recipe, we have to first prepare a few ingredients. You can cook pan mee soup using 15 ingredients and 5 steps. Here is how you can achieve it.
The ingredients needed to make Pan Mee Soup:
- Take 500 g minced meat
- Prepare 1/2 cup minced garlic
- Make ready 1/4 cup dried chilies, sliced or chopped (if using flakes, try to find some with less seeds and more chili pieces)
- Make ready 1/2 cup minced onion
- Make ready 1/2 cup sliced shiitake mushrooms (preferably dried & soaked overnight. Reserve soaking liquid)
- Prepare 1/2 cup dried anchovies (I prefer to grind up the anchovies using a food processor. If not available, you can replace it with some fried bacon. Please adjust salt content accordingly)
- Make ready 2 cups pucuk manis (can be substituted with baby/round spinach)

Instructions to make Pan Mee Soup:
- Heat 2-3 tbsp of the oil in a soup pot. Stir fry 2 tbsp of garlic until fragrant then add the minced meat and 1/2 the anchovies. Sauté until cooked then add the mushrooms. Cook for 5-6 minutes until the meat is slightly browned. Season well with soy sauce and white pepper. You can add a few tablespoons of water/the soaking liquid from the mushrooms if it gets too dry. Remove all but 1/4 cup of the mixture and set aside.
- In the pot with the remaining 1/4 cup of the mixture, add the bouillon cubes & 6 cups of water (you can also use the mushroom soaking liquid & top up water to get 6 cups). Allow the water to come to a boil and add spinach / pucuk manis. Cook for a few minutes until the color changes to a darker green, then turn off the heat and season the soup.
- In a separate pan, heat the remaining oil. It’s ok if it seems like a lot. Once hot,sauté onions and remaining anchovies and garlic until browned and slightly crispy. Add chili and sauté for a few minutes. Be prepared for the chili to make you cough! Season with soy sauce/salt/white pepper and sugar, if desired.
- To serve SOUP VERSION: you can either boil all the noodles in a separate pot and eat all immediately or ladle some of the soup into a separate smaller pot and boil them in individual servings. Boil the noodles in the soup and add an egg/some tofu to poach in once the noodles are almost done. Ladle the minced meat/chili on top as desired
- To serve DRY version: boil the noodles separately and once cooked, immediately mix with the toppings - minced meat & chili. You can poach an egg and add it on top
Foods That Can Make You Happy
In general, people have been conditioned to think that “comfort” foods are bad for the body and need to be avoided. If your comfort food is candy or junk food this is true. Otherwise, comfort foods may be super nutritious and good for you. There are a number of foods that, when you eat them, can better your mood. If you are feeling a little bit down and you’re in need of a happiness pick me up, try a couple of these.
Eggs, believe it or not, can be actually terrific at dealing with depression. Just be sure that you don’t throw away the egg yolk. The yolk is the part of the egg that matters most in terms of helping raise your mood. Eggs, the yolk particularly, are rich in B vitamins. B vitamins can be fantastic for raising your mood. This is because these vitamins help your neural transmitters–the parts of your brain that dictate your mood–run better. Try to eat an egg and feel happier!
Make a trail mixfrom different seeds and nuts. Peanuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, and so on are all great for helping to elevate your mood. This is possible since these foods have a bunch of magnesium which promotes your production of serotonin. Serotonin is known as the “feel good” chemical and it tells your brain how you should be feeling at all times. The higher your serotonin levels, the happier you will feel. Nuts, along with elevating your mood, can be a superb source of protein.
Cold water fish are great if you wish to feel better. Herring, trout, tuna, wild salmon, and mackerel are all rich in omega-3 fats and DHA. These are two substances that promote the quality and function of the gray matter in your brain. It’s true: chomping on a tuna fish sandwich can really help you overcome depression.
Grains can be wonderful for fighting a bad mood. Millet, quinoa, barley, etc are great at helping you have a happier mood. They help you feel full also which can actually help to better your mood. Feeling famished can actually make you feel terrible! The reason these grains are so good for your mood is that they are not hard to digest. You digest these foods faster than other foods which can help boost your blood sugar levels, which, in turn, helps make you feel happier, mood wise.
Your mood can truly be helped by green tea. You knew green tea had to be in this article somewhere, right? Green tea has been found to be rich in an amino acid called L-theanine. Research has discovered that this amino acid induces the production of brain waves. This helps improve your mental acuity while relaxing the rest of your body. You probably already knew it is not hard to get healthy when you drink green tea. Now you know that green tea helps you to elevate your moods as well!
You can see, you don’t need to eat junk food or foods that are terrible for you to feel better! Try several of these instead!
