Among the many casserole dishes, Preserved Meat Casserole with Rice is a favorite for its unique flavor and mouthwatering texture. This classic Cantonese dish combines the essence of preserved meat, rice and sauce to create a feast for your taste buds.
The aroma of preserved meat and sausage is rich in flavor
The soul of Lap-mei Casserole Rice is the preserved meat. Bacon, sausage and sausage are cured and air-dried through traditional techniques, emitting a rich aroma that infuses the dish with an intoxicating smoky flavor. The savory aroma of the bacon blends perfectly with the mild spiciness of the sausage to create a richly layered taste experience.
Glutinous Rice, Soft and Tough
High-quality rice is the cornerstone of Lap-mei Casserole Rice. The carefully selected glutinous rice is full of grains and is steamed together with the Lap-mei in the pot, absorbing the aroma of the Lap-mei and the freshness of the sauce. The cooked rice is so soft and fluffy that every bite leaves a sweet taste in your mouth.
The freshness of the sauce enhances the flavor and aroma
The thick sauce is the finishing touch to the preserved meat rice. Based on soy sauce, dark soy sauce and oyster sauce, the sauce is simmered with mushrooms, green onions, ginger and garlic, presenting a rich savory and sweet taste. The sauce is drizzled over the boiled rice and penetrates into the rice grains and preserved flavors, instantly conjuring up an intoxicating feast for the taste buds.
Caramelized bottom, lingering aftertaste
After boiling at high temperatures, the preserved rice forms a layer of golden and crispy potpourri at the bottom of the pot. This layer of caramelized potpourri contrasts with the soft and sticky rice, bringing a rich taste experience. Each bite of the potpourri encases the essence of the preserved flavors and sauces, making you marvel at its deliciousness.
