  1. Prepare ingredients for filling. Roast peanut on the pan for about 7 minutes with low heat. Wait until it is a bit cold, then peel the skin. Toss roasted peanut, palm sugar and water into food processor. I don't make it into paste, because I like the texture of peanut crumbs. Set aside.
  2. Prepare ingredients for rice ball. Roast glutinous rice flour in the pan for 5 minutes in low heat. I roast the flour in order to remove the taste of glutinous rice flour on rice ball.
  3. Mix glutinous rice flour, rice flour and water. Add water little by little and mix it with spatula or knead with your hand. Stop giving the water if the dough able to be shaped.
  4. Devide dough into 5 (You could skip this process if you want to make it colorless) and give it food coloring. I devided dough to 30 balls in total, 8 grams each or 1 Tsp.
  5. Make dough into ball with your hand and press it to ~2mm thick and put 1/4 tsp filling on the dough. Wrap the filling and shape the dough into ball again. Do it until no dough left.
  6. Heat water and bring it to boil. Put rice ball into boiling water and boil it until the ball float into the surface. Once it floats (cooked), take it out and put it on cold water. This process prevent balls stick to each other.

Turn to Food to Improve Your Mood

Many of us have been trained to believe that comfort foods are not good and are to be avoided. Often, if your comfort food is a sugary food or another junk food, this holds true. Other times, though, comfort foods can be altogether nourishing and it’s good for you to eat them. There are some foods that, when you eat them, could improve your mood. If you seem to be a little bit down and in need of an emotional pick me up, try a number of these.

Eggs, you may be surprised to find out, are great at fighting depression. You must be sure, however, that what you make includes the yolk. The egg yolk is the part of the egg that matters most in terms of helping raise your mood. Eggs, the yolk particularly, are stuffed full of B vitamins. B vitamins can really help you elevate your mood. This is because they improve the function of your brain’s neural transmitters (the parts of the brain that affect how you feel). Eat some eggs to cheer up!

Put together a trail mixout of various seeds and nuts. Peanuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, etc are all fantastic for helping to elevate your mood. This is because seeds and nuts have plenty of magnesium which boosts your brain’s serotonin levels. Serotonin is the “feel good” chemical substance that tells your brain how you feel day in and day out. The higher your levels of serotonin, the happier you are going to feel. Not just that but nuts, in particular, are a fantastic protein source.

Cold water fish are excellent if you want to feel better. Cold water fish including tuna, trout and wild salmon are high in DHA and omega-3s. DHA and omega-3s are two things that truly help the grey matter in your brain run a lot better. It’s the truth: consuming tuna fish sandwiches can truly help you battle your depression.

It’s not difficult to drive away your bad mood when you are eating grains. Quinoa, barley, teff, millet, etc are all excellent for helping you be in a happier state of mind. These grains can help you feel full for longer too, helping you feel better. Feeling hungry can be a real downer! The reason these grains can improve your mood is that they are not difficult for your body to digest. These foods are easier to digest than others which helps kick start a rise in your blood glucose which in turn kicks up your mood to a happier place.

Green tea is actually good for your mood. You knew green tea had to be mentioned, right? Green tea is loaded with an amino acid referred to as L-theanine. Studies have found that this amino acid essentially stimulates brain waves. This will improve your brain’s concentration while also loosening up the rest of your body. You likely already knew it is not hard to become healthy when you drink green tea. Now you know that green tea can improve your mood also!

So you see, you don’t need to eat junk food or foods that are bad for you so you can feel better! Try a few of these instead!
