Cabbage, Pork Belly, and Daikon Hot Pot

Welcome back to the second recipe in “eat good, feel good, look good,” where the meals aren’t a cleanse, not a meal plan, not a restrictive list of foods you’re supposed to eat. Just real, good food that’s genuinely doing something for your skin and gut, so you can enjoy those nights you’re celebrating.

Here’s why this recipe works to keep things balanced, even after a few nights of overindulging…The first is the cabbage and daikon. This mille feuille nabe is layered with thin sheets of cabbage and pork belly, and the cabbage is doing a lot of the heavy work for your gut with all that fiber. Daikon rounds it out and is known in Chinese medicine to support digestion too, to help your body work through the celebratory drinks and noms.

The second is how everything’s being cooked. Because all the ingredients are sliced thin and layered, your body is getting a more balanced ratio of vegetable to protein in every single bite, even though it doesn’t taste “health"y”. It’s a hot pot that feels like a celebration and is still investing in your skin and gut while you eat it.

Here’s how to make it…
