Claypot rice

Claypot rice, sometimes translated as "rice casserole", is a Chinese traditional dinner eaten in Guangdong in Southern China as well as the Chinese communities of Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore and Thailand. The rice is presoaked, or in some cases par-cooked, and finished in the claypot with other ingredients which then flavor the rice. The bottom develops a scorched rice crust similar to that in Korean dolsot bibimbap or Iranian “tahdig” and Spanish paella. It is commonly served with chicken, Chinese sausage and vegetables in some regions, but most restaurants offer a customizable dish with many protein options. Traditionally, the dish is cooked over a charcoal stove, giving it a distinctive flavor. Some places serve it with thick, sweetened soy sauce and sometimes dried salted fish.
