It is traditionally paired with ingredients such as rock sugar, red dates, goji berries, coconut milk, or pear. In TCM theory it is regarded as a sweet, neutral tonic food traditionally associated with nourishing yin and moistening the lungs. It is commonly served warm in the morning or evening as a gentle culinary delicacy.
