Hangry=Hungry+Angry. It’s a thing.
One tip I have for individuals who suffer from hangriness–don’t squash your hunger, feed it with healthy things/healthier options. For me, I’ve been making myself a healthy smoothie or finding a dessert with less sugar. Here is one recipe from my childhood. Now, I’ll have to admit, it’s a little bit of an acquired taste since it includes a tropical fruit and it is more Taiwanese. Longan is as also known as “the dragon’s eye.” The only way I can describe it is that it’s a cousin of the Lychee fruit. It has a sweet yet earthy flavor. This dessert is super easy. If you can make Top Ramen, you can make this.
Ingredients:
- ~1 cup (7-8oz) dried Longan (you can also do this with any diced fresh/dry fruit you enjoy)
- Agar powder
- Muffin Tin (makes about 16)
*You can buy these in any 99 Ranch or any Asian super market
Directions:
- Boil 6 cups of water and bring to a simmer.
- Pour the cup of Longan or fruit into the pot. If you’re using dried products, boil for 1 minute. For fresh fruits, about 30 seconds will do.
- Pour the packet of powder in and stir until all of the powder is dissolved
- Ladle the mix into each muffin tin and let cool for about 2 hours. Refrigerate and serve.
