Job's Tears & Euryale Drain-Dampness Bowl
Drain Damp · Lighten · Reset
Why 薏米芡实祛湿碗 Belongs on Your Table
In TCM, 'dampness' is the heavy, puffy, sluggish feeling — the body holding more water and energy than it can move. The classic pair for it is job's tears and euryale: two humble seeds that gently drain and bind, supported by red adzuki beans and soft yam. No laxatives, no extremes — just food that helps the body let go.
The broth is earthy and clear, the grains chewy, the beans sweet. It is the bowl for post-holiday heaviness, humid days, or any morning you wake up feeling like a waterlogged sponge. Lighter by the spoonful.
