When making pot rice, you usually brush lard in the pot first, then put the washed rice into the pot, measure the water, then add the cover, cook the rice until it is seven mature, add ingredients, and then cook it slowly.

The “pot” made of tile is more flexible in terms of fire control. The rice cooked is also more delicious, with fragrance between the teeth and endless aftertaste. When eating boiled rice, you must remember to taste the burnt taste of the rice, which is fragrant and crisp. It’s also delicious to pour the hot rice into the soup and soak it for a while.

Casserole rice originated from Guangzhou, Guangdong. It uses casserole as a vessel to cook rice. The historical origin of casserole rice can be traced back to the central plains more than 2000 years ago. According to the notes in the book of rites and other books, yellow rice was used as raw material at that time. According to Wei Juyuan韦巨源’s recipe, it was also called “Royal Queen Mother’s rice御黄王母饭” in the Tang Dynasty唐代.

How to make Claypot rice?

Delicious casserole rice has two characteristics that can not be ignored: the first is the sauce. When the lid is lifted and the sauce is poured on the rice, there is a sound of whining. This is the finishing touch of the dragon. It all depends on the skill of the sauce master; The other is the glittering and translucent silk rice which is burned by a smooth bottom of a layer of golden rice crust. Unlike the ordinary rice crust, the crispy rice crust is crisp and tastes long, and it is the cream of the whole dish.

The materials used for cooking rice are flexible and diverse, which can vary from time to time and from place to place. To make cooking rice well, we should pay attention to the heat, because the origin of rice is different, the degree of old and new is different, and the amount of water absorption is also different. All kinds of meat are heated and preheated differently. To boil these materials in the same pot, cooked but not raw and scorched, and to maximize the preservation of nutrients and original flavor, it is necessary to identify the texture of various materials, strictly control the heat, and ensure that the heat is just right.
