Why people make this dish

Indigestion and stomach aches often come from eating without restraint — food sits and stagnates, the “qi” stops moving smoothly, and the belly feels stuffed. The classic answer is to gently strengthen the stomach and help food move along. Pomelo season brings a window to make the most of this fragrant fruit: stewing the flesh with chicken lets the aroma wake the stomach and traditionally helps move stuck food. It is especially welcome for that bloated, no-appetite, “everything just sits there” feeling, or for burping and food aversion.
