Cook bacon in the bottom of a heavy, Teflon-less pot. Once crispy, remove and set aside then deglaze with a slash of Chinese wine and scrape the fond. Lower heat. Add stock broth and two additional cups of water. Add diced radish and cover, cooking on low for about thirty minutes. Add soy sauce, salt, pepper, bacon pieces and lemon juice and cook for just a couple of minutes. Serves four.
