A few days ago, a friend said that he was making clay pot rice in a casserole at home, but several pots were broken and he still couldn’t make the clay pot rice he wanted. I think it's quite strange. Claypot rice is easy to make, so why can't it be successful? Maybe there are a few key points that you haven’t grasped!

I often make claypot rice at home, especially sausage claypot rice. It is nutritious, healthy, delicious, both meat and vegetable. It is simple and easy to make. Not only I love it, but the whole family loves it.

I usually decide which pot to use to make clay pot rice based on the number of people. If there are more people, use a larger pot, and if there are fewer people, use a smaller pot. For example, if there are usually only 2-3 people eating, a small pot is enough.

Claypot rice looks simple, but there are a few things to pay attention to in actual operation. Master these points and make delicious food more easily. Let’s take a look at how I make it!

Required ingredients and seasonings: 250g rice, 2 sausages, appropriate amount of dried mushrooms, appropriate amount of broccoli, 1 egg, water, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, white sugar, cooking oil;

Detailed recipe for claypot rice with sausages and mushrooms:

1. Prepare the rice. Here is the first thing to pay attention to when making claypot rice. If you use a casserole or a cast iron pot on the stove, To make claypot rice, the rice must be soaked for more than 1 hour in advance. The stove cooking time is short, and the soaked rice is easier to cook, otherwise it will easily become uncooked rice. If you use a rice cooker to make it, you don’t need to soak the rice because it takes a long time to make it.

2. Cut the sausage into slices diagonally, soak the mushrooms in advance, and cut them into small pieces for later use;

3. Take a small pot that is easy to use, and brush a layer of it before eating. oil, then put the soaked rice in, and add an appropriate amount of water. Because the rice has been soaked, the amount of water is less than what you usually use to stew rice;

Here is how to make claypot rice. The second thing to note is to brush the pot with oil. Whether it is a casserole, a cast iron pot, or a medical stone pot, when making clay pot rice, it is recommended to brush a layer of oil on the bottom of the pot to help prevent sticking and make the rice taste better.

4. Put the chopped mushrooms and sausages into the pot and arrange them evenly, which will look better.

5. Heat the small pot, turn on low heat, and simmer until the rice is cooked.

Here is the third note on making clay pot rice: turn on low heat. Be sure to remember to turn on a low heat. When the heat is high, the water will be consumed quickly, and the rice will burn to the bottom before it is cooked, making it inedible. Keep the fire low throughout, take your time, and reap delicious food.

6. When the rice is fragrant, open the lid of the pot. You can see that the water has been exhausted, the rice is fragrant and the meat is tender, and it smells delicious. At this time, use a small spoon to place a small spoon between the rice and the pot body. Pour a spoonful of cooking oil around the edge of the pot, allowing the oil to seep into the bottom of the pot to prevent sticking and fry the crispy rice;

7. Crack an egg into the pot, cover the pot, and continue to simmer over low heat. About 5 minutes;

Of course, this can be added or not. If you like to eat eggs, just beat one. If you don’t like to eat, you can omit this step; if you want to eat soft-boiled eggs, you can also simmer them for a short time. a little time.

8. At this time, prepare the bowl of sauce. Here are 3 spoons of light soy sauce, 3 spoons of water, 1 spoon of oyster sauce, and 1 spoon of white sugar. Stir evenly and set aside;

9 , then use another pot to boil water, put the washed broccoli in and blanch it, take it out and set aside;

10. Open the pot cover, you can see that the eggs in the small pot are cooked, and the rice It's a little drier;

11. Place the blanched broccoli around the small pot, and then pour the prepared sauce evenly onto the ingredients in the pot. The sauce will pass through The ingredients on top seep into the rice below. Open the lid of the pot, turn to medium heat and cook for about 3-5 minutes, so that the rice at the bottom of the pot forms a crispy crust and is more delicious.

The claypot rice with seasonings is ready to eat, but if you want to eat the claypot rice with crispy rice, you need to continue frying for a while. The reason why the pot is not covered is because it contains broccoli. If this green vegetable is simmered, it will change color and look unsightly. I adjust the heat because I want to eat claypot rice with crispy rice as soon as possible, which will make it more fragrant.

The fragrant claypot rice is ready. Serve it with the pot. Even though the pot I am using is not big, it is still quite large. This pot of rice is enough for 2-3 people. It doesn’t look big on the outside, but it’s actually great for holding rice.

Let’s summarize the precautions for making clay pot rice:

1: The rice should be soaked for more than 1 hour in advance. The rice will be cooked easily after soaking;

< p> 2: Brush oil on the bottom of the pot. No matter what pot you use, you must remember to brush a layer of oil on the pot. In addition, it is also recommended to use a thicker pot, which has good heat preservation performance and the stewed rice is more delicious;

Three: Use low heat throughout the process, do not turn it up high, as high heat will easily make it mushy and raw, so low heat It will be more fragrant when simmered;

When eating, stir the ingredients in the pot evenly and start eating. The rice has the delicious flavor and color of the sauce. The more you eat, the more you like it. People with big appetites may be able to finish this whole pot.
