Steps to make Hamburger Steaks With Ankake Mushroom Sauce:

1. Mix all the hamburger ingredients well in a bowl. Milk is usually added, but since this is a Japanese style hamburger steak that's served with lots of with thickened sauce, just water and sake are fine.
2. The mixture will be a bit softer than usual. Divide it into four patties.
3. Heat some oil in a frying pan. When the frying pan is really hot, turn off the heat. Place the patties in the pan and then turn the heat back on to medium.
4. Tip: Turning off the heat once before putting in the hamburger patties ensures the patties will be evenly cooked, since they are all on the heat for the same length of time.
5. Tip: Make sure the patties are not too thick in the middle, or they won't cook through well. Flatten them with your fingers after putting them in the frying pan.
6. Do not cover the pan with a lid because it will be hard to see how the meat is cooking, and the meat juices will also leak out. When they're a bit white around the edges, turn the patties over.
7. Tip: It's hard to tell from the photos, but if the meat turns a whitish color, it means it's cooked. If you cover the pan with a lid, you won't be able to tell if there's too much oil, and so on.
8. Continue cooking after flipping them over until they're cooked through. Test for doneness by pressing a spoon down on the meat. If meat juices run clear, they're done!
9. Tip: DO NOT insert a bamboo skewer, or all of the precious meat juices will flood out.
10. Use semi-dried shimeji mushroomsand dried king oyster mushroomsas-is. Rehydrate fully dried mushrooms. - - https://cookpad.com/us/recipes/147434-umami-and-nutrition-packed-dried-king-oyster-mushrooms
11. Slice the onion, cut the carrot into matchsticks, and cut the green pepper into strips. You can also use fresh mushrooms, instead of dried.
12. Put some oil in a frying pan and stir-fry the mushrooms. Dried mushrooms are full of umami, so there's no need to squeeze out the excess moisture in them before adding them to the pan.
13. Put the vegetables in the frying pan starting with the harder ones, and keep stir-frying. When they are all coated with oil, add the water, sake and dashi stock granules.
14. When the liquid in the pan comes to a boil, add the mirin, sugar and soy sauce.
15. Dissolve katakuriko in the same amount of water to make the slurry. Don't add it all at once, but slowly stir it in while shaking the frying pan.
16. Pour lots of the sauce on top of the hamburger steaks. This time I served them with deep-fried eggplant and boiled Morrocan beans.

Turn to Food to Elevate Your Mood

Most of us think that comfort foods are bad for us and that we need to keep away from them. If your comfort food is candy or junk food this holds true. Other times, however, comfort foods can be completely nourishing and it’s good for you to consume them. There are some foods that, when you consume them, could better your mood. When you feel a little down and need an emotional boost, test out a few of these.

Eggs, believe it or not, can be actually wonderful at fighting back depression. Just see to it that you do not toss the yolk. The egg yolk is the part of the egg that matters most in terms of helping raise your mood. Eggs, the yolks particularly, are rich in B vitamins. The B vitamin family can be great for elevating your mood. This is because they help improve the function of your neural transmitters, the components of your brain that control your mood. Try consuming some eggs to cheer up!

Make a trail mix out of seeds and/or nuts. Almonds, cashews, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, etc are all great for raising your mood. This is because these nuts are high in magnesium, which helps to increase serotonin levels. Serotonin is the “feel good” chemical substance that dictates to your brain how you feel all the time. The more of it in your brain, the more pleasant you’ll feel. Not just that, nuts, in particular, are a great protein food source.

If you wish to fight depression, try eating some cold water fish. Tuna, trout, mackerel, herring and wild salmon are all full of omega-3 fatty acids and DHA. DHA and omega-3s are two things that improve the quality and the function of your brain’s grey matter. It’s true: eating a tuna fish sandwich can greatly raise your mood.

Some grains are actually great for repelling bad moods. Quinoa, barley, teff, millet, etc are all good for helping you feel better. They fill you up better and that can help elevate your moods as well. Feeling starved can be awful! The reason these grains are so great for your mood is that they are easy to digest. They are simpler to digest than other foods which helps raise your blood sugar levels and that, in turn, raises your mood.

Your mood could really be helped by green tea. You were simply expecting to read that in this article, weren’t you? Green tea is loaded with a certain amino acid known as L-theanine. Studies prove that this specific amino acid can basically stimulate brain waves. This helps improve your mental energy while at the same time making the rest of your body more relaxed. You probably already knew it is not difficult to be healthy when you consume green tea. Now you know that applies to your mood too!

Now you know that junk food isn’t necessarily what you should eat when you want to help your moods get better. Try a couple of of these tips instead.
