Why This Recipe?

🌸 Traditional Wisdom

Fermented-rice egg soup is a traditional warming confinement dish, folk-believed to aid circulation and lactation.

🔬 Modern Science

Fermented rice contains trace alcohol that must be boiled off; egg adds protein. For breastfeeding, take small amounts later in confinement to avoid alcohol in milk.
