Steps to make For Character Bentos: Easy to Make a Hard Boiled Egg - "Nameko Saibai Kit":
- Make hard boiled egg and peel the shell while it's still hot. (Quickly run it under tap-water and peel the shell off while the surface of the egg is cool so you don't burn yourself. Don't cool the inside of the egg.)
- Shape the egg into the shape of the Nameko while the egg is still hot and soft. Use fingers to pinch the egg to make the pointy part. Flatten the top and bottom of the area by sandwiching it with two fingers.
- It looks like a Nameko when you make the mushroom top part pointy. Once you've shaped the egg, cool in cold water while holding the shape with your fingers. (The egg will harden when cooled.)
- Add color to the boiled egg. Add mentsuyu and soy sauce (1 : 1) into a cup. Insert the skewer into the thin end of the Nameko (the leg part) and place into the cup with the skewer pointing out.
- Adjust the skewer so that the egg is half way dipped into the mixture. Adjust the height by using the chopsticks to pinch the skewer to hold it in place. (This is a key point!)
- Let it sit in the refrigerator for about an hour. (Since I did this before heading to bed, mine sat for 5 hours. Make sure to leave it in the fridge.)
- Remove the skewer. Slice the back off so it won't roll over. It makes it easier to do the next steps. (This piece will be used for the next step.)
- Thinly slice the white yolk (the piece from the back) and use a knife to cut shapes as seen in the picture. (Mouth, arms, and legs) It's easier if you use rabbit shaped cookie cutters for the legs.
- Cut the nori seaweed into shapes (as seen in picture) using scissors. Carefully place a thin layer of mayonnaise on the back of the nori seaweed and attach it onto the boiled egg. Place the arms and legs as well.
- It's complete! The Nameko will stay in place if you insert a thick pasta in the back. (It will absorb moisture and become soft by the time you eat it.)
- This is a version without shaving the back, without the arms and legs. It's easy.
Try Using Food to Improve Your Mood
Most of us have been trained to believe that comfort foods are terrible and to be avoided. Sometimes, if your comfort food is essentially candy or other junk foods, this holds true. Other times, however, comfort foods can be altogether nutritious and it’s good for you to eat them. Some foods honestly do raise your mood when you eat them. When you are feeling a little down and need an emotional pick-me-up, try a couple of these.
Eggs, you may be surprised to learn, are wonderful at fighting depression. Just see to it that you don’t toss out the yolk. Whenever you want to cheer yourself up, the egg yolk is the most important part of the egg. Eggs, the egg yolks especially, are loaded with B vitamins. B vitamins can truly help you raise your mood. This is because these vitamins help your neural transmitters–the parts of your brain that control your mood–work better. Try to eat an egg and feel a lot better!
Put together a trail mixout of a variety of seeds and nuts. Peanuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, etc are all great for helping to elevate your mood. This is because seeds and nuts have lots of magnesium which boosts your brain’s serotonin levels. Serotonin is the “feel good” chemical substance that dictates to your brain how you feel at all times. The higher your serotonin levels, the more pleasant you will feel. Not just that but nuts, particularly, are a terrific protein food source.
Cold water fish are great for eating if you are wanting to battle depression. Cold water fish like tuna, trout and wild salmon are high in DHA and omega-3 fats. These are two substances that promote the quality and function of the grey matter in your brain. It’s true: chomping on a tuna fish sandwich can basically help you fight back depression.
Some grains are actually great for driving away bad moods. Quinoa, barley, teff, millet, etc are all excellent for helping you be in a happier state of mind. They help you feel full as well which can actually help to improve your mood. Feeling starved can be terrible! The reason these grains elevate your mood is that they are not hard for your stomach to digest. These foods are easier to digest than others which helps kick start a rise in your sugar levels which in turn takes your mood to a happier place.
Green tea is really great for your mood. You knew green tea had to be included in this article, right? Green tea is rich in an amino acid called L-theanine. Studies have shown that this amino acid essentially induces brain waves. This helps better your mental sharpness while calming the rest of your body. You probably already knew it is not hard to become healthy when you drink green tea. And now you know it can help raise your mood too!
So you see, you don’t have to turn to junk food or foods that are terrible for you to feel better! Try a couple of of these hints instead.
