Dried Mussel, Century Egg and Lean Pork Congee

Why people make this congee

High blood pressure is common — stress, tension and a salty diet all add to the heart’s load, and drinking and smoking don’t help. In Chinese-medicine thinking, midlife people often have the “liver-yang rising” pattern: dizziness, tinnitus, irritability, a flushed face, sleeplessness, constipation and an achy lower back. Nourilo offers this simple, smooth congee, traditionally used to clear heat, ease restlessness and bring down “empty-fire” — a gentle, everyday dish for the whole family.
