Creamy Dango Miso Soup is one of the most popular of current trending foods in the world. It’s enjoyed by millions daily. It’s easy, it is quick, it tastes delicious. They are fine and they look fantastic. Creamy Dango Miso Soup is something that I’ve loved my whole life.
To begin with this particular recipe, we must prepare a few ingredients. You can have creamy dango miso soup using 6 ingredients and 15 steps. Here is how you cook it.
The ingredients needed to make Creamy Dango Miso Soup:
- Prepare 2 Fish broth packets
- Get 1360 ml (45.98 fl oz) Water *160 ml (5.41 fl oz) is for dango balls
- Take 220 g (7.76 oz) Dango rice flour / Joushinko rice flour
- Get 500 g (17.63 oz) Vegetables *whatever you like is fine
- Take 3 tbsp Miso paste *white
- Prepare to taste Green onion
Instructions to make Creamy Dango Miso Soup:
- Put water and fish broth packets in a pan and wait 30 mins.
- Peel and slice vegetables. I'm using radish, carrots, burdock and konnyaku this time.
- If you want to add potatoes or sweet potatoes, soak in water for 10 mins. to remove any scum.
- Take out 160 ml of water which soaked the fish broth packets in the pan and pour in the bowl. * Depends on the dango powder you will use, the amount of water might be slightly different. Follow the indicated guide of the packages.
- Put vegetables into the pan and stew with low heat.
- Put dango rice powder in the bowl and knead well.
- Scoop some and make an one - bite size flat round shape and put in the pan as soon as it's made.
- Once the dango is cooked, it comes to the surface just like gnocchi pasta.
- Put the miso paste in, melt well, and stew with low heat for 15 mins.. You can add a pouched egg if you like. My grandmother put one in for breakfast.
- Stop the heat, take out fish broth packets and rest the soup for 30 mins., and then heat again to serve.
- While resting & cooling down, the good flavor of miso will soak deep inside the ingredients and a slight amount of dango rice powder melts into the soup. It makes this soup rich & creamy, just like a white stew.
- Pour the soup into a serving bowl and put some green onion on top for a nice presentation!
- You can make the miso soup with your favorite vegetables! This is the one I cooked with sweet potatoes the other day. Tofu & wakame seaweed combination is also good!
- You can get all the ingredients I used here at Jungle Jim's in Cincinnati, OH. They are in the Japanese section. White miso is the light yellow / beige one, dango powder is the blue one (Joushinko, pink one, is also okay if dango powder is not available.)
- Konnyaku jelly is the gray slimy rectangle one just above the tofu. It is made from the a potato called the "devil's tongue". It is a Japanese healthy food which is low in fat and contains lots of fiber, to reduce absorbing cholesterol and sugar. Also has effects to prevent diabetes, high blood pressure, and arteriosclerosis.
Foods That Make You Happy
Most of us have been trained to believe that comfort foods are terrible and to be avoided. At times, if your comfort food is essentially candy or other junk foods, this holds true. Otherwise, comfort foods could be really nutritious and good for you. There are some foods that, when you eat them, can boost your mood. If you feel a little bit down and need a happiness pick me up, try a few of these.
Eggs, you might be amazed to discover, are terrific at combating depression. You must make sure, though, that what you make includes the yolk. The yolk is the most crucial part of the egg iwhen it comes to helping elevate your mood. Eggs, the egg yolks especially, are loaded with B vitamins. These B vitamins are great for helping to boost your mood. This is because they increase the function of your brain’s neural transmitters (the parts of the brain that affect how you feel). Try to eat an egg and feel a lot better!
Make a trail mix from seeds and/or nuts. Almonds, cashews, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and so on are all helpful for raising your mood. This is because seeds and nuts have plenty of magnesium which boosts your brain’s serotonin levels. Serotonin is the “feel good” natural substance that directs your brain how you feel day in and day out. The more serotonin you have, the happier you will feel. Nuts, on top of raising your mood, can be a superb source of protein.
If you would like to beat depression, try eating some cold water fish. Salmon, herring, tuna fish, mackerel, trout, etcetera, they’re all chock-full of omega-3 and DHA. These are two things that raise the quality and the function of your brain’s gray matter. It’s true: chomping on a tuna fish sandwich can basically help you overcome depression.
Grains can be excellent for overcoming a terrible mood. Barley, quinoa, millet, teff, etc are all excellent for helping you feel happier. These grains can help you feel full for longer also, which can help your mood too. It’s not hard to feel a little bit off when you feel famished! The reason these grains elevate your mood is that they are easy to digest. These foods are easier to digest than others which helps promote a rise in your blood glucose which in turn brings up your mood to a happier place.
Green tea is really excellent for your mood. You were just anticipating to read that in this article, weren’t you? Green tea is rich in an amino acid called L-theanine. Studies have found that this amino acid actually induces brain waves. This will improve your brain’s focus while simultaneously calming the rest of your body. You knew green tea could help you be healthier. Now you know that green tea can elevate your mood also!
Now you know that junk food isn’t necessarily what you have to eat when you wish to help your moods get better. Try a few of these suggestions instead.
