Tips

1. When making clay pot rice, long-grain rice is more delicious. The length of cooking time depends on the water absorption of the rice. Claypot rice is best cooked over low heat because clay pots dissipate heat quickly and cook things easily. Moreover, according to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the spleen belongs to earth, so food cooked in earthen pots will taste better than iron pots.
2. For the side dishes in the claypot rice, stir-fry them in oil to bring out the aroma, and then put them on top of the rice. They will be much more delicious. Because the oil removes the moisture from the food, it becomes delicious by reheating it in a pot.
3. If you like to eat crispy rice, pour a circle of cooking oil along the edge of the pot when cooking. The oil will flow into the bottom of the pot and form crispy rice with the rice.
