To begin with this recipe, we must prepare a few components. You can cook stir-fried and simmered new potato and lotus root with sesame seeds using 7 ingredients and 8 steps. Here is how you cook that.
The ingredients needed to make Stir-fried and Simmered New Potato and Lotus Root with Sesame Seeds:
- Get 7 to 8 small New potatoes
- Make ready 1 small Lotus root
- Prepare 1 tbsp Vegetable oil
- Take 2 tbsp Sugar (I recommend raw cane sugar or light brown sugar)
- Make ready 1 tbsp Mirin
- Get 1 1/2 tbsp Soy sauce
- Take 1 White sesame seeds
Add ginger and garlic, and stir fry until the oil is very fragrant. Slice the potatoes and place them in a bowl with the sesame seeds and spices.

Instructions to make Stir-fried and Simmered New Potato and Lotus Root with Sesame Seeds:
- Wash the potatoes very well, and cut into half with the skins on. Peel the lotus root and cut up roughly. Soak in water for about 5 minutes and drain.
- Heat a pan and add oil. Stir fry the potatoes and lotus root over medium-high heat until the potato skins are lightly browned.
- Add enough water to cover the potatoes and lotus root, turn up the heat to high and bring to a boil. Turn the heat down to low and add the sugar and mirin. Cover with a drop lid or otoshibuta.
- Simmer for about 10 minutes. Add soy sauce, cover with a drop lid, and simmer over low-medium heat until the potatoes are tender.
- Remove the drop lid, raise the heat to medium and evaporate the liquid in the pan. Shake the pan occasionally to prevent burning. Roll the ingredients around in the pan.
- As the liquid evaporates, the ingredients take on a shiny sheen. Sprinkle sesame seeds at the end, mix thoroughly and it's done.
- Transfer to a serving plate and enjoy.
- The flavors should have penetrated the new potatoes well. And the lotus root shiny and appetizing.

Stir in lotus root slices and sauce. Add cayenne pepper and garnish with sesame seeds and remaining spring onion. If the lotus root is linked like sausages, cut the links.
Foods That Can Make You Happy
Mostly, people have been taught to think that “comfort” foods are terrible for the body and need to be avoided. At times, if your comfort food is candy or another junk food, this is true. Otherwise, comfort foods may be super nutritious and good for you. There are some foods that, when you eat them, may better your mood. If you are feeling a little bit down and in need of an emotional pick me up, try some of these.
Eggs, you might be surprised to learn, are wonderful at combating depression. Just be sure that you do not toss the yolk. The yolk is the most crucial part of the egg iwhen it comes to helping you cheer up. Eggs, the egg yolk especially, are rich in B vitamins. These B vitamins are wonderful for helping to raise your mood. This is because they help in bettering the function of your neural transmitters, the parts of your brain that control your mood. Eat an egg and feel better!
Make a trail mix out of seeds and/or nuts. Peanuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, etcetera are all great for helping to elevate your mood. This is because these nuts are high in magnesium, which helps to boost serotonin levels. Serotonin is known as the “feel good” chemical and it tells your brain how you should be feeling day in and day out. The more you have of it, the happier you will feel. Not only that but nuts, particularly, are a terrific protein food source.
Cold water fish are great for eating if you wish to combat depression. Herring, trout, tuna, wild salmon, and mackerel are all high in omega-3s and DHA. These are two things that promote the quality and the function of your brain’s grey matter. It’s true: consuming a tuna fish sandwich can really help you fight depression.
It’s not difficult to drive away your bad mood when you eat grains. Quinoa, millet, teff and barley are all truly wonderful for helping raise your happiness levels. These foods can help you feel full for longer also, which is a mood improver. Feeling starved can truly make you feel awful! The reason these grains are so wonderful for your mood is that they are easy to digest. They are easier to digest than other foods which helps kick up your blood sugar levels and that, in turn, improves your mood.
Green tea is actually excellent for your mood. You were simply anticipating to read that, weren’t you? Green tea is loaded with a specific amino acid called L-theanine.
