Why people make this congee
Come the Mid-Autumn Festival there is no avoiding the extra eating — especially mooncakes and sweets. In Chinese food-therapy thinking “sweet enters the spleen and stomach,” and too much sugar leaves you feeling stuffed and heavy. A cup of pu-erh tea or some lemon water often helps, but when the fullness is more stubborn, Nourilo reaches for this simple radish-seed congee. Radish seed (lai fu zi) is the seed of the common radish, traditionally used to move stagnant food and settle a clogged, belching stomach.
