Claypot Rice, also fondly known by 煲仔饭, is a popular hawker dish that always brings in queues during dinner time. With some effort, you can recreate this dish at the comfort of your own home too.
Here’s the fact that debunks some myths – the cooking time for Claypot rice is actually not as long as some imagine, however it is VERY important to watch the fire so that the rice does not get burnt.
The key ingredients in this dish that are mandatory – The lup cheong, as well as as well as salted fish. Our version makes use of salted mackerel in oil as they are less salty than dried ones and much softer in terms of texture – Mix this up with quality jasmine rice and the quality dark soy sauce (we stress on good quality dark soy sauce!), and in no time you’ll be having a clay pot feast at home!
