Korean Soy Milk Noodles
"Kongguksu," Korean Soy Milk Noodles, combines a homemade soy broth with whole-grain buckwheat noodles and vegetables. The broth is usually served cold but can be enjoyed warm if desired. Feel free to top the dish with any additional vegetables of choice.Soybeans are high in fiber, iron, magnesium, potassium, protein, and zinc. Certain gut bacteria can supercharge the benefits of soy foods, resulting in even more bone protection, even better control of menopausal symptoms, and even lower prostate cancer risk. How can we foster the growth of these good bacteria? Watch our video “How to Convert Into an Equol Producer” to find out.
