😋 Gudakusan Miso Soup 😋⁠ ⁠ 'Gudakusan' t 😋 Gudakusan Miso Soup 😋⁠
⁠
'Gudakusan' translated to 'lots of ingredients' - Yep, I put lots of ingredients in my miso soup, especially Japanese root veggies. ⁠
⁠
Unfortunately I can't get fresh Japanese root veggies (sometimes I can, but they're extremely expensive!) so I used frozen ones – Lotus root, Satoimo (taro) and Burdock. ⁠
⁠
Plus aguraage (frozen again), konnyaku aka konjac, carrot and shallot. All are dietary fiber-rich ingredients to help maintain your gut health.🤩⁠
⁠
I also used miso, the fermented soybean paste for three dishes - ⁠
Miso soup, miso marinade daikon radish and spicy miso stir fry beans.⁠
⁠
I've also got some natto, the fermented soybeans seasoned with fermented rice salt. (Yep, more fermented foods!😄)⁠
⁠
Happy gut = happy mind and healthy body😁❣️⁠
⁠
Let’s all have a good, gut-friendly meal! ⁠Want to cook gut friendly meal with me? Join my healthy gut with Japanese superfoods class! ⁠

💚 Creamy Miso Leek Recipe 💚⁠ ⁠ Don't mis 💚 Creamy Miso Leek Recipe 💚⁠
⁠
Don't miss my latest blog post where I shared a Creamy Miso Leek Recipe! A super easy & healthy dish to have that warms you up in the cooler winter months 😊⁠
⁠
The heavenly combination of miso and soy milk is one of the most underrated duos in the cooking world. Creamy miso broth perfectly marries into the leek, which makes it easier to eat the whole leek without wasting parts you might normally throw out. ⁠
⁠
It also adds additional colour and flavour to the dish as a whole 😍⁠

🍵 Matcha green tea for healthy hair 🍵⁠ ⁠ 🍵 Matcha green tea for healthy hair 🍵⁠
⁠
Did you know that Matcha can be helpful for healthy hair including preventing grey hair and split ends?⁠
⁠
Here are photos of my first hair cut in my 50s! I do find that I have some grey hairs but not so much that I need to dye my whole hair 💇⁠ ⁠
⁠
My hairdresser recently praised me for having a double halo which only happens with natural healthy hair (he told me artificial treatment like silicon only gives a single halo effect). I believe my daily matcha consumption and good diet contributes a lot to this 💚 ⁠
⁠
Hair is the least important organ since nutrients are first distributed to the important parts of our body and whatever that's left goes to our hair.⁠
⁠
Good diet + daily matcha intake is not only good for amazing hair benefits, but also great for our overall health.!⁠
⁠
You can also use matcha topically too!⁠
⁠
Check out my latest blog to find out how matcha can be helpful for healthy hair including preventing grey hair and an easy matcha hair mask recipe! (Link in bio)⁠

😍⁠Amazake pudding with raw kiwi sauce 😍⁠ 😍⁠Amazake pudding with raw kiwi sauce 😍⁠
⁠
If you say this is your medicine, would you or your kids be excited? 🤔 Well, I would be because even as a “medicine” it is so yummy and nourishing! ⁠
⁠
Why? Because it is made of two Japanese superfoods – amazake and kuzu (aka. kudzu, 葛) ⁠
⁠
👉 Amazake is typically fermented white rice (but I use the organic brown rice amazake, which is even healthier option at home as well as in my cooking classes). It is naturally sweet because of the natural sugar found in rice is broken down during fermentation process. 🌱⁠
⁠
This fabulous sweet treasure is called a natural IV drip because you can be nourished instantly, and Japanese call it Samurai’s red bull because the samurai used to lose their appetite during sticky the hot summer, but after having amazake, they would gain energy. 🔥 ⁠
⁠
👉 I used kuzu to thicken the mixture. Kuzu is another Japanese superfood, which is still used as medicine in Japan and China. Kuzu is made from kuzu root, which is the healthiest startch on earth! Kuzu is the only starch which is alkalizing, this makes it fabulous for fevers as well as a stomach upset! ⁠
⁠
On top of that, I put beautiful vitamin C rich kiwi sauce – it wasn't heated so no vitamin C was lost. ⁠
⁠
This the PERFECT natural medicine to prevent flu and treat early stages of the flu! ⁠
⁠
As we all know, staying healthy and making sure we are aware of the wellbeing of our loved ones is super important. Give the gift of delicious food and health to your mother this Mother's day by treating her to my Japanese Superfoods as Medicine cooking class, where I explain and teach the usage of Japanese superfoods as medicine⁠ ❗ ⁠Hope to see you there 😊.⁠

🙌 Japanese Breakfast 🙌 ⁠ One of the reason 🙌 Japanese Breakfast 🙌 ⁠
One of the reasons Japanese cuisine is healthy is because we eat lots of seaweed 🌿 In this breakfast, I eat 4 types of seaweed! Can you spot all of them?⁠
⁠
1. Wakame in miso soup ⁠
2. Konbu in miso soup broth ⁠
3. Nori (I will wrap my rice) ⁠
4. Mozuku su (mozuku in sweet vinegar) ⁠
⁠
Seaweeds are super alkalising, containing so many types of minerals and unique dietary fibers - both soluble and insoluble fiber ✨ ⁠
⁠
Do you eat seaweeds a lot?⁠
