To get started with this recipe, we must prepare a few components. You can have vibrant green creamy zunda edamame mochi (ohagi) using 4 ingredients and 11 steps. Here is how you can achieve it.
The ingredients needed to make Vibrant Green Creamy Zunda Edamame Mochi (Ohagi):
- Take 1 cup Edamame
- Prepare 4 tbsp Light brown sugar (or white sugar)
- Take 1 dash Salt
- Make ready 180 ml Non-glutinous rice: mochi rice (1:1)
Steps to make Vibrant Green Creamy Zunda Edamame Mochi (Ohagi):
- Boil the edamame in salted water. Boiling a little longer than usual will make it easy when smashing them.
- Remove the edamame from the pods, and remove the thin membrane as well. This takes patience! I get tired halfway through too, but keep at it~.
- Place the peeled edamame into a mortar, and grind with a wooden pestle. You hit the edamame, so it becomes pounded bean paste (zunda) for the rice cakes . Mash with your willpower!
- Once the bean chunks have disappeared, add salt and sugar, and mash even further until smooth. It will be hard if there is not enough sugar, and will be a really loose an paste if there is too much. Adjust to your preference while checking the taste.
- For those of you who lack willpower, feel free to use a food processor. This will leave behind a few grains, but it will smooth out when you mash it up in a mortar with salt and sugar.
- Yes! It is done~ . We made a pretty green zunda-an. Good job! You can save this paste in the fridge.
- As for the ohagi rice cakes, cook mochi rice and non-glutinous rice in a 1:1 ratio, and half-smash in a mortar etc. while it is still hot. Don't let it live, and don't kill it…
- Roll the rice cakes into easy-to-eat pieces and coat with the paste. Coat the remaining rice cakes in grated sesame. Now, let's enjoy. These are delicious and homemade.
- This is a heavy cream and zunda-an paste sandwiches . These are warm and fluffy soft sandwiches. It's also really good in cream puffs.
- These are tofu shiratama dango dumplings.
- Post-script: I was able to make a smooth paste in a food processor. After adding sugar and salt, I blended for longer until it thickened and it turned out ok.
Foods That Make Your Mood Better
For the most part, people have been trained to believe that “comfort” foods are not good for the body and should be avoided. At times, if your comfort food is basically candy or other junk foods, this is true. Otherwise, comfort foods can be really nutritious and good for you. There are some foods that basically can raise your moods when you eat them. If you feel a little bit down and you need an emotional pick me up, try a number of these.
Eggs, you might be astonished to learn, are wonderful at battling depression. Just be sure that you do not throw away the yolk. The yolk is the part of the egg that is the most important in terms of helping raise your mood. Eggs, the yolk in particular, are rich in B vitamins. B vitamins can be terrific for lifting up 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). Eat an egg and be happy!
Build a trail mix from seeds and/or nuts. Your mood can be raised by consuming peanuts, almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and so on. This is because seeds and nuts have a lot of magnesium which raises your brain’s serotonin levels. Serotonin is a feel-good substance that directs the brain how to feel at any given time. The more serotonin you have, the happier you are going to feel. Not only that, nuts, specifically, are a terrific source of protein.
If you wish to overcome depression, you should eat some cold water fish. Wild salmon, herring, mackerel, trout, and tuna are all full of omega-3 fats and DHA. These are two things that raise the quality and the function of your brain’s gray matter. It’s the truth: eating tuna fish sandwiches can truly help you overcome your depression.
Grains can be excellent for fighting a terrible mood. Quinoa, millet, teff and barley are all truly excellent for helping increase your happiness levels. They help you feel full also which can truly help to make your mood better. Feeling starved can truly bring you down! These grains can improve your mood since it’s not at all hard for your body to digest them. These foods are easier to digest than others which helps promote a rise in your blood glucose which in turn takes your mood to a happier place.
Green tea is really good for your mood. You knew it had to be in here somewhere, right? Green tea is found to be chock-full of an amino acid known as L-theanine. Studies have shown that this amino acid essentially induces brain waves. This will improve your brain’s focus while at the same calming the rest of your body. You knew green tea could help you become healthier. Now you are aware that it can help you be happier also!
So you see, you don’t need to eat junk food or foods that are terrible for you just so to feel better! Try a couple of of these suggestions instead.
