Full of nutritious and medicinal ingredients, Chikuzen Ni is a healthy Japanese recipe that helps fight off winter colds and boosts the body's natural defenses. Chikuzenni is an ordinary Nimono dish (boiled and seasoned vegetables) for everyday, but also a big part of Osechi Ryori, Japanese New Year's cuisine. Chikuzenni is usually cooked at home in Japan. It features chicken and a variety of vegetables, including, carrots, renkon (lotus root), and konnyaku. "Chikuzen" used to be the name of what is now modern-day Fukuoka, and was the most popular cuisine from that city.
Instructions to make No Mess-Ups! Chikuzen-Ni/Onishime (Japanese Stew) - Perfect For New Years and Picnics:
- Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and peel the taro. Shave off the burdock skin with the back of your knife and then cut into chunks about 5 cm long.
- Peel the lotus root and the carrot, then cut into pieces 8 mm thick (It will be prettier if you use decorative cuts on the lotus root and cut out the carrots using a flower mold). Rope-twist the konnyaku. You can do this by first slicing the konnyaku into slices that are 8 mm thick, and then cutting a slit down the middle of each piece. Insert one end of the piece into the slit and pull to get a twisted konnyaku.
- Wash the bamboo shoot and cut into bite-sized pieces. Reconstitute the shiitake with 1 cup of warm water. Remove the veins from the snow peas, then blanch them in salt water.
- Parboiling - Boil the burdock for about 10 minutes in plenty of water. Then add the lotus root and the bamboo shoot and boil for another 5 minutes. Skim off the scum occasionally.
- In a separate pot, parboil the konnyaku in boiling water. Marinate the chicken in 1 tablespoon sake and 1 tablespoon soy sauce (both not listed).
- Heat some oil in a pot, then cook the chicken pieces skin-side down first.
- Add all of the prepared ingredients (except the snow peas) into the pot, then add the dashi and the shiitake water and let it come to a simmer. Cover with a small lid that sits right on top of the food (called an otoshibuta or a drop lid; you can make one with aluminum foil) and simmer for about 15 minutes.
- Add the ☆ seasonings and simmer some more. When you can easily stick a skewer through the taro, turn off the heat. Serve in a bowl, sprinkle on the snow peas, and you are done!

The higher your levels of serotonin, the better you are going to feel. Nuts, in addition to improving your mood, can be a great source of protein.
Cold water fish are wonderful for eating if you wish to beat back depression. Cold water fish including tuna, trout and wild salmon are rich in DHA and omega-3 fatty acids. These are two things that truly help the grey matter in your brain run a lot better. It’s true: eating a tuna fish sandwich can seriously boost your mood.
Some grains are actually excellent for fighting off bad moods. Quinoa, millet, teff and barley are all truly great for helping raise your happiness levels. These grains can help you feel full for longer too, helping you feel better. Feeling famished can be awful! The reason these grains are so great for your mood is that they are not difficult for your body to digest and process. You digest these grains quicker than other foods which can help promote your blood sugar levels, which, in turn, helps make you feel more pleasant, mood wise.
Your mood can actually be helped by green tea. You knew green tea had to be included in this article, right? Green tea is found to be packed full of an amino acid known as L-theanine. Studies prove that this particular amino acid can essentially stimulate brain waves. This will better your brain’s focus while simultaneously loosening up the rest of your body.
