Why people make this congee
Nourilo notes that older people — especially long-time smokers — often build up a lot of phlegm, and may develop a chronic, wheezy cough with a tight, full chest. Radish seed (lai fu zi) is simply the seed of the common radish; in tradition it is used to move stuck food and “send qi downward,” helping to loosen phlegm. Toasted and ground with black sesame and cooked into a soft rice congee, it becomes a warm, easy-to-eat bowl that is associated with easing a phlegmy, wheezy cough.
