Instructions to make Pork in Shrimp Paste (Filipino Binagoongan) - Pork with Bagoong:

1. Heat oil in wok and saute garlic, onions until translucent. Add sliced tomatoes with its juices.
2. Add the cup of water with dissolved 0.25 of chicken bullion cube and coconut powder mix (Ginataang Mix is okay to use). Or use fresh coconut milk. - - Adjust coconut taste to your liking, whether using fresh or powdered. - - Let the bay leaf/leaves sit at the bottom of the wok. - - Let it simmer.
3. Cut pork into bite size pcs. In this I combined a pork chop cut and belly cut. The fat part makes the dish tastier. - - Add pork slices to the wok. Season with crushed black pepper to your liking. - - Squeeze 1 calamansi juice or a little squeeze of lemon/lime. Mix. Cover and let it simmer in low heat for 20-30 minutes or until tender and liquid is reduced.
4. Add the shrimp paste, mix in and cover. Let flavors combine. - - Add sliced green beans or eggplants to the wok, mix in and cover. Reduce the liquid that seeped out from the veggies or until veggies are cooked. - - Add your chili as desired. My mom can't take the heat so I just added a single long chili, unsliced. Slice the chili is you want heat. - - Add salt according to your taste. If you used salty shrimp paste, you might not need to. You might need to add a pinch of sugar instead. - - Mix well and remember not to over cook the veggies :) - - Remove bay leaves. Garnish with chopped green onion. Serve and enjoy.

Binagoongang Baboy (Pork Braised in Shrimp Paste) The secret to the tastiest binagoongang baboy is to add the shrimp paste much earlier than most cooks do to give the meat time to soak up all its umami goodness. I've heard many Filipinos describe binagoongang baboy as pork adobo with bagoong added in.

Foods That Make Your Mood Better

Many of us have been taught to believe that comfort foods are bad and to be avoided. However, if your comfort food is candy or junk food this might be true. Other times, comfort foods can be very nutritious and good for us to eat. There are a number of foods that, when you consume them, could improve your mood. When you are feeling a little down and are needing an emotional pick-me-up, try a few of these.

Eggs, believe it or not, can be actually terrific at beating back depression. Just see to it that you don’t throw away the egg yolk. When you wish to cheer yourself up, the egg yolk is the most crucial part of the egg. Eggs, particularly the yolks, are full of B vitamins. B vitamins can be great for lifting up your mood. This is because these vitamins improve the function of your brain’s neural transmitters (the parts of the brain that affect how you feel). Try eating a couple of eggs to feel better!

Build a trail mix from seeds and/or nuts. Peanuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, etc are all fantastic for helping to boost your mood. This is because seeds and nuts have lots of magnesium which increases your brain’s serotonin levels. Serotonin is called the “feel good” substance that our body produces and it tells your brain how you should be feeling day in and day out. The more of it in your brain, the happier you’ll feel. Not just that, nuts, specifically, are a fantastic protein food source.

Cold water fish are excellent for eating if you are wanting to fight depression. Cold water fish such as tuna, trout and wild salmon are rich in DHA and omega-3 fats. These are two substances that boost the quality and function of the grey matter in your brain. It’s true: chomping on a tuna fish sandwich can actually help you overcome depression.

Some grains are truly excellent for repelling bad moods. Quinoa, barley, millet, etc are excellent at helping you feel happier. These grains fill you up better and that can help you with your moods also. It’s easy to feel low when you feel hungry! The reason these grains can improve your mood is that they are not difficult for your body to digest. They are simpler to digest than other foods which helps bring up your blood sugar levels and that, in turn, raises your mood.

Green tea is truly great for your mood. You knew it had to be included in this article, right? Green tea has been found to be chock-full of an amino acid known as L-theanine. Studies have discovered that this amino acid essentially stimulates brain waves. This helps improve your mental focus while having a relaxing effect on the rest of your body. You knew green tea could help you be so much healthier. And now you know green tea can help improve your mood also!

So you see, you don’t need to eat all that junk food when you are wanting to feel better! Try several of these instead!
