I Had This Korean Radish Soup…

… for 10 or so days to help clear out a build-up of bad bacteria. I had this along with a tea and face mask, which helped flush everything out and clear my skin. I still can’t pinpoint what I had eaten so frequently to cause such a build-up in bad bacteria and a leaky gut, but it has been doing a number on my skin. The taste is nutty yet light because of the sesame oil, and with just the right amount of salt to taste, tastes so good that I don’t even mind having it 3 times every day.

Total Time: 30 minutes

INGREDIENTS / NEEDS

• 1/2 medium-sized Korean radish

• 3 teaspoons sesame oil (I added a little too much in the picture)

• 3 cups of water

• 1 teaspoon of salt

DIRECTIONS

1. Peel and cut 1/2 medium radish into thin match-stick slices

2. Pour 3 teaspoons of sesame oil and chopped radish together on a pan over low-medium heat for 10 minutes. Cover and stir frequently throughout to avoid burning.

3. Add 3 cups of water to a pot and add the fried radish. Bring to a boil. After it boils, put on medium heat for 10 minutes.

4. Add salt to taste (around 1 teaspoon) and enjoy!

• Helps detoxify

TIPS / FAQs

• Like all things health and wellness, consistency is key. I have been having this with every meal since I’ve learned about it. I make a big batch for the week and re-heat before a meal.

• For most optimal results, I had it 3 times a day as a side for each meal

As always, consult your doctor/healer for what’s best for you and your needs. I’m not a professional, but a gworl who struggles with constipation, food sensitivities, and gut issues like MANY Americans.
