To begin with this recipe, we must first prepare a few ingredients. You can have macrobiotic creamy mushroom and tofu spaghetti using 9 ingredients and 13 steps. Here is how you can achieve it.
The ingredients needed to make Macrobiotic Creamy Mushroom and Tofu Spaghetti:
- Take 1/2 block Oboro dofu - very soft tofu
- Get 100 ml Soy milk
- Prepare 2 servings Spaghetti
- Prepare 80 grams Enoki mushrooms
- Get 60 grams Shimeji mushrooms
- Prepare 1 1/2 tbsp White wine
- Take 10 grams ◎Butter (or olive oil)
- Make ready 1/3 cube ◎Soup stock cube (or vegetarian soup stock)
- Take 1 Salt and pepper
Instructions to make Macrobiotic Creamy Mushroom and Tofu Spaghetti:
- Make the cream: Put the tofu and soy milk in a bowl, mash up the tofu with a spatula, and strain the mixture through a strainer. (I've used 1 whole block of tofu in the photo.)
- Even if you don't have a large sieve or strainer, if you immerse a tea strainer in the mixture and turn a rubber spatula round and round inside it, you'll have a cream-like texture in 5 minutes. Season with 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt and pepper.
- Make the sauce: Take the stem ends off the shimeji and enoki mushrooms, divide into small clumps, and rinse quickly.
- Put all the mushrooms at once into a frying pan with butter and stir fry over high heat.
- When a little moisture comes out of the mushrooms and they become wilted, lower the heat to medium, season with salt and pepper and continue stir frying.
- Turn the heat down to low, add the tofu cream and soup stock cube and mix.
- When the edges are bubbling, lower the heat further, season with salt and pepper and turn the heat off.
- Boil the accompaniments: Bring plenty of water to a boil in a pot, add a pinch of salt, and boil some broccoli florets. When they have turned bright green, check them for doneness and take them out when they're the texture you like.
- Boil the pasta: Put the pasta in the same pan you used to boil the broccoli, and cook it according to package instructions.
- Stir the pasta around and add 1 teaspoon of olive oil. The key is to make the pasta swim in the hot water.
- Cook the pasta until al dente, drain in a colander, and plate.
- Finish the sauce: Reheat the sauce, add a little white wine, briefly bring to a boil and turn off the heat.
- Pour plenty of sauce on the pasta, add the accompanying broccoli and it's done. The white wine and tofu make this sauce very rich.
Turn to Food to Boost Your Mood
Mostly, people have been taught to believe that “comfort” foods are bad for the body and should be avoided. Often, if your comfort food is made of candy or other junk foods, this can be true. Other times, however, comfort foods can be completely nutritious and it’s good for you to consume them. A number of foods actually do raise your mood when you eat them. When you are feeling a little down and are needing an emotional pick-me-up, test out a couple of these.
Eggs, you may be amazed to find out, are great at battling depression. Just be sure that you don’t toss out the egg yolk. The yolk is the part of the egg that is the most important in terms of helping you cheer up. Eggs, specifically the egg yolks, are rich in B vitamins. These B vitamins are terrific for helping to elevate 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!
Make a trail mixfrom a variety of seeds and nuts. Almonds, cashews, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, etc are all great for elevating your mood. This is possible since these foods have a bunch of magnesium which boosts your production of serotonin. Serotonin is referred to as the “feel good” chemical substance and it tells your brain how you should be feeling at all times. The more serotonin you have, the happier you are going to feel. Nuts, in addition to improving your mood, can be a super source of protein.
Cold water fish are excellent for eating if you wish to fight depression. 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 grey matter. It’s true: eating a tuna fish sandwich can seriously elevate your mood.
Some grains are actually excellent for repelling bad moods. Quinoa, millet, teff and barley are all truly great for helping boost your happiness levels. These foods fill you up better and that can help elevate your moods as well. It’s not difficult to feel low when you are starving! The reason these grains are so good for your mood is that they are not hard for your stomach to digest. These foods are easier to digest than others which helps promote a rise in your glucose levels which in turn takes your mood to a happier place.
Green tea is actually great for your mood. You were sure it had to be included in this article, right? Green tea is chock-full of an amino acid referred to as L-theanine. Studies show that this particular amino acid can essentially induce brain waves. This helps raise your mental acuity while calming the rest of your body. You already knew that green tea helps you be healthier. Now you are aware that it helps you to elevate your moods as well!
As you can see, you don’t need junk food or foods that are not good for you just so to feel better! Try some of these instead!
