날짜:


💛 Introduction

For those living with Crohn’s disease, the weekend can feel like a small breath of relief.
When you're in a remission phase, it’s the perfect time to enjoy a comforting meal that’s still gentle on the stomach.

So today, I’d love to share 3 simple, low-fat Korean dishes you can try this weekend!
They’re easy to prepare, soothing for digestion, and cozy enough to enjoy with family 🥄

🍲 1. Beef Radish Soup (Soegogi Muguk)

Steps

  1. Slice the radish and onion thinly

  2. Lightly sauté the beef with a few drops of oil in a pot

✨ Tips

  • Use minimal oil (or skip altogether)

  • Grated radish works well for even softer texture

  • Onions become sweet and easy to digest after simmering
