Why people make this congee
When autumn turns dry, a dry, phlegmless cough is one of the most common complaints — and prevention is better than cure. Lily bulb traditionally nourishes yin and moistens the lung, and fresh lily bulb is available at Chinese or Asian grocers and online, just as lovely in stir-fries as in soup or congee. This bowl of fresh lily bulb and peanut congee traditionally supports the spleen, opens the appetite, moistens the lung and eases the cough — comforting for a dry throat, poor appetite or a restless mind.
