Stir-fried Dried Shiitake Mushrooms and Tofu with Egg" to Prevent Summer Fatigue
Let's take in protein and B vitamins, which are often lacking during the summer.
Protein: Tofu and eggs
Vitamin B group: Tofu, dried shiitake mushrooms, sesame seeds

The guanylic acid in the dried shiitake mushrooms enhances the umami of the proteins in the tofu and eggs, which increases appetite. Use the broth of the dried shiitake mushrooms to make this dish full of umami.
Allicin, the aromatic ingredient in green onions, helps the absorption of vitamin B and is effective in relieving fatigue.
Carrots are rich in carotene, which boosts the immune system and has a beautiful effect on the skin.

Depending on how well you cook the eggs, you can adjust the recipe from egg-and-meat style to egg stir-fry.
