Why people make this congee
Most food-therapy ingredients are chosen to be pleasant — nobody wants their “medicine” to taste like a cup of bitter tea. Yin chen (capillary wormwood) is a little bitter, but it carries a clean, herbal fragrance, and in traditional Chinese food therapy it is one of the classic herbs for calming the liver and clearing heat. Nourilo likes folding it into a simple rice congee so the bitterness softens and the dish stays easy to eat.
