It's been so cold!!
I have to wear layers of layers when i go out.
in order to keep you warm from inside, i use this very useful, helpful food called KUZU : )
it's starch made of the root of kuzu plant.
in japan, its been used as midicine for colds/flu, as well as for any digestive problems.---trust me, it really works!
compared to corn starch or potato starch, which is more yin, or "cooling", this kuzu starch has more "warming (yang)" effect on your body, and makes a perfect gravy sauce or soup ,and even dessert!
this time of the season, especially when it's so cold, kuzu is something i frequently use for my everyday cooking : )
you can find kuzu at health food stores like whole foods.
if catching a cold, make kuzu drink with umeboshi plum.
