Claypot Rice (煲仔饭)
Chinese (Cantonese) · East Asia
Top Pick
STOVETOP
8/10
Rice cooked in a clay pot with Chinese sausage, cured meats, and a soy sauce drizzle, prized for its crispy scorched rice bottom.
Why It Works
The clay pot retains heat unevenly, creating a golden crust (guoba) on the bottom and sides while steaming the toppings from the top — two textures in one vessel.
Key Ingredients
jasmine rice
Chinese sausage (lap cheong)
cured pork belly
dark soy sauce
ginger
scallions
