Steps to make Homemade Kimchi Hot Pot with Fluffy Tofu Meatballs:
- This time, I used this "Chef Kawagoe's Recommended" kimchi. I recommend it since it's exactly at 200 g, and has a delicious "umami" taste from vegetables and seafood.
- Combine and mix all the A- ingredients.
- It's done once it's mixed like this.
- Peel the skin off the carrot, and thinly slice it into strips using a peeler.
- Slice like this. Thinly slice the remainder of the carrot and put them all together.
- Using a clean cloth, squeeze out excess water from the tofu.
- Squeeze out as much water as you can, and once it looks crumbly like this, it's done.
- Combine and mix all the ingredients from step 7 and B-.
- Mix well until it starts to get sticky.
- In a hot pot containing 6 cups of water, add in the seasoning ingredients from step 3 and bring to a boil over medium heat. Spoon the tofu meatballs from step 9 into the pot.
- Cover the pot and cook for 5 minutes over medium heat. It's done once the meatballs start to float to the surface like this. Set aside the meatballs in a bowl at this point.
- For vegetables, let's prepare the ones you like. Make sure to drain excess oil from the aburaage (cut into your preferred size) by pouring boiling water over it.
- Add those veggies that take time to cook first, such as the core of the bok choy, Chinese cabbage, etc.
- Once they're wilted a little, add the carrot and aburaage.
- To finish, add the enoki mushrooms, mizuna greens, Chinese chives, kimchi, and tofu meatballs. It's done after having simmered for about 5 minutes. It's a delicious soup with plenty of flavor.

Discover How to Boost Your Mood with Food
A lot of us think that comfort foods are bad for us and that we should stay away from them. At times, if your comfort food is basically candy or other junk foods, this is true. Otherwise, comfort foods could be really nutritious and good for you. There are some foods that really can boost your moods when you consume them. If you are feeling a little bit down and you’re needing an emotional pick me up, try some of these.
Eggs, believe it or not, can be actually wonderful at dealing with depression. You must make sure, though, that what you make includes the yolk. The yolk is the part of the egg that is the most crucial in terms of helping raise your mood. Eggs, the yolks particularly, are rich in B vitamins. B vitamins can truly help you raise your mood. This is because these vitamins improve 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 a lot happier!
Make a trail mixout of a variety of seeds and nuts. Your mood can be raised by consuming peanuts, almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and other types of nuts. This is possible as these foods are rich in magnesium which promotes your production of serotonin. Serotonin is the “feel good” chemical substance that dictates to your brain how you feel day in and day out. The more of it in your brain, the happier you’ll feel. Not only that but nuts, specifically, are a great protein source.
Cold water fish are good if you want to feel happier. Tuna, trout, mackerel, herring and wild salmon are all full of omega-3 fats and DHA. Omega-3 fatty acids and DHA are two things that improve the quality and the function of your brain’s grey matter. It’s true: eating a tuna fish sandwich can earnestly elevate your mood.
Some grains are really great for fighting off bad moods. Quinoa, millet, teff and barley are all really great for helping raise your happiness levels. These grains fill you up better and that can help improve your moods too. Feeling famished can be a real downer! These grains can help your mood elevate since it’s not at all difficult for your body to digest them. You digest these foods faster than other foods which can help boost your blood sugar levels, which, in turn, helps make you feel better, mood wise.
Your mood can actually be helped by green tea. You were just expecting to read that here, weren’t you? Green tea has been found to be chock-full of an amino acid referred to as L-theanine. Studies have found that this specific amino acid can essentially stimulate brain waves. This helps improve your mental focus while having a relaxing effect on the rest of your body. You knew that green tea helps you be healthier. Now you know that green tea can improve your mood also!
So you see, you don’t need to stuff your face with junk food when you want to feel better! Try some of these hints instead.
