Mapo Doufu

Mapo Doufu is a very popular dish from Sichuan province. It is usually made of tofu and minced meat, but it is also popular among vegans(no meat), because its fantastic taste and smell are from a combination of fermented chilli-beans sauce(Doubanjiang) and Sichuan pepper, so it's not necessary to add minced meat.

When I stayed at Sichuan province , I could enjoy Mapo Doufu almost everyday. Because I could order Vegan Mapo Doufu at the vegan canteens of all temples in Sichuan. It was really delicious and it wasn't too expensive.

Natto is a Japanese traditional food made from soybeans fermented with Bacillus subtilis. It is rich of proteins vitamin K and many kinds of nutrients. It also contains protease (nattokinase) which can reduces the risk of blood clotting because of it's fibrinolysis potential (no clinical data). Because of this natto kinase's ability to degrade amyloid fibrils, it is suggested that natto might prevent the amyloid-type disease such as Alzheimer's. Natto has much amount of vitamin K2 and it also contains much polyamine that has potential of suppressing excessive immune reactions.

Avocado rice bowl

Avocado is one of the most popular diet for vegans and vegetarians because it is rich of fat and protein. But avocado intake has high potential of decreasing the cholesterol level in total serum. So it is benefit for non-vegetarian people.

But avocado tastes like butter, too creamy and oily for some people who don't like oily food, so mi wanna recommend a Japanese avocado cuisine cuz it tastes fresh and not-oily.

ปีนี้ประเทศ Rwanda เป็นเจ้าภาพ

ประเทศ Rwanda มีชื่อเสีย(เสียชื่อเสียง)เรื่องเหตุการณ์ระหว่าง tutsi กับ hutu ในปี 1994 แต่ขณะเดียวกันมีชื่อดัง gorilla
หลังจากจบเหตุการณ์ genocide ประเทศ Rwanda พยายามฟื้นสังคมและในที่สุดประสบความสำเร็จด้านเศรษฐกิจและสิ่งแวดล้อม
ถึงแม้ว่าเคยมีเหตุการณ์ที่น่าเศร้าขนาดนี้ มนุษย์สามารถฟื้นฟูสังคมได้

นี่คือตัวอย่างที่ดีนะครับ

Indian cuisine: Aloo jeera

Aloo jeera is one of the most simple and famous indian food.
It is very easy to cook but it's very delicious!
In Hindi, Aloo means potato and Jeera means cumin.



















Cumin seeds contain a relatively large amount of iron.
South asian people believe that cumin seeds have a potential of helping digestion, but there are no scientific evidences.

Today I had Aloo jeera with white rice, but you can eat it with brown rice or chapati too.
