Instructions to make Let's Make it Tasty! Easy Stir-Fried and Simmered Beef & Vegetables:
- Cut the burdock root, lotus root and carrot into large slivers. Don't cut them up too small, since you want to enjoy their texture. Not too big, either, though!
- Cut the veggies in the direction of the grain (or fiber). This way they'll retain their texture when cooked.
- Soak the cut up vegetables in water, changing it several times, to get rid of bitterness. Put a little vinegar in the soaking water. Parboil the cut-up veggies briefly.
- Boil the burdock root for 30 seconds, then add the lotus root and cook for another 30 seconds (1 minute total for the burdock root, 30 seconds for the lotus root.) If you cook it for too long, you'll lose that crunchy texture.
- You don't need to parboil the carrot, since it cooks quickly. Drain everything well. No need to soak in cold water again.
- Pre-flavor the beef with 2 tablespoons of sake, 1 teaspoon of soy sauce and 1 teaspoon of mirin. Sake will make it tender, and pre-flavoring it makes the taste distinctive. Work the pre-flavoring ingredients in well with your hands.

These foods can help you feel full for longer also, helping you feel better. Feeling hungry can really make you feel awful! The reason these grains are so wonderful for your mood is that they are not difficult for your body to digest and process.
