Claypot rice is a traditional Cantonese dish that features rice and various ingredients cooked together in a pot, creating a unique aroma and texture. Here's an easy way to make claypot rice at home:
Ingredients: 2 cups rice.
Chicken thighs (or other meats) to taste, cut into cubes.
Appropriate amount of sausage, sliced.
Appropriate amount of fresh shrimp, remove the shell.
Fish fillet to taste (optional).
2 eggs, beaten up.
Shallots to taste, finely chopped.
Garlic to taste. Salt to taste. Soy sauce to taste.
Cooking wine to taste. Oil to taste. Steps:
1.Wash the rice and add water to cook it, which is more suitable for a slightly harder texture.
2.In a pot, add an appropriate amount of oil and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant.
3.Add the chicken thighs and sausage and stir-fry until browned, then add salt and soy sauce to taste.
4.Add the fish fillet and shrimp and continue to sauté until cooked through.
5.Add rice to the pot and gently pat flat.
6.Pour the scrambled egg mixture evenly over the rice.
7.Add salt and soy sauce to taste.
8.Heat the pot to the maximum heat, and when you hear a gurgling sound, reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to cook for about 10-15 minutes until the bottom of the rice forms a golden brown pan.
9.Remove from heat, sprinkle with chopped shallots and stir well with a spatula.
10.Transfer to a personal bowl or lunch box and enjoy.
Tips: The addition of egg mixture can increase the taste and aroma of claypot rice, and other vegetables or toppings can also be added according to personal preference.
Humidity is the key to the success of claypot rice, and some stock or chicken broth can be added appropriately to improve the humidity and taste.
Claypot rice generally requires the use of a special claypot pot, but if not, you can use a regular rice cooker instead, and the effect may vary.
