This recipe helps increase protein intake but also helps digest food easily. I used grated daikon radish and carrot for this recipe. Japanese use daikon radish often, especially when we are sick. Daikon radish contains nutrients like vitamin C, folate, vitamin K (especially in leaves), calcium, magnesium, and enzymes. The enzymes are amylase, diastase, and esterase to improve the digestive system. Isothiocyanate (hot flavored) in grated daikon to fight inflammation and infection. I also used other vegetables to heal the digestive system, control body temperature, boost the immune system, and prevent colds.
