Clay pot rice is a classic Cantonese dish often enjoyed in the winter. The name refers to the way it’s cooked-with rice, meat, and vegetables all heated inside a clay pot.
We went to Hing Kee, a restaurant in Hong Kong that’s been serving hearty bowls of clay pot rice since the 1980s, to see how it’s made.
Shop address: 2-14 Temple St, Yau Ma Tei, Hong Kong

@@djyx8 Use open flame to cook rice requires special attention at the final stage when water inside the pot mostly evaporated. Flame should be turned down to roast the pot so the rice at the lowest layer turned brown, not black. Since you cannot see how brown it became, you could only judge by indirect signals such as the texture of the steam or the smell of the rice. When you consider it is done, Take the pot to a table. Open the lid, pour 2 table spoonful of soya sauce. Then replace the lid, let it sit for 30 seconds to 1 min. Voila. Bon appetit. For those who enjoy to the last piece of rice. After spooning out all the meal in the pot, there is a layer of roasted rice sticks to the bottom of the pot. You may pour a cup of tea ( not too strong tea, I mean ) to the pot. Let it soak for 2 minutes, the crispy layer will come off.

The special clay pot rice soy sauce is usually made by infusing pre-bought soy-sauce with aromatics like ginger and scallion and other condiments such as sugar. It would be pretty unrealistic for a small restaurant to make their own soy sauce from scratch because the complicated process involved. But nevertheless, making a good clay pot rice soy sauce is still an art and many restaurants have their own secret recipe.

She didn't brew her own soy sauce, she blend it (just like every other clay pot restaurant and dim sum restaurant). The blend is typically light soy, dark soy, sugar, cilantro root, green onion, shallot, oil, sugar, and water. Of course, it is also a "trade secret" and every restaurant make it slightly different.

2:40 Does closing the lid still cook the egg but it's off the stove? This looks really good unless if the egg is raw.

@@naylisyazwina6836 Raw egg is not a problem in some countries. It depends on whether the poultry industry in your country has a habit of washing the natural anti-bacterial protective layer around the egg off in a chemical wash to clean the egg of dirt and debris. If you have to refrigerate the egg in your country, absolutely do not do this - it means the poultry industry washes off the protective layer so the inside will have some level of bacteria. If you do not have to refrigerate the egg, it is probably because the protective layer is still in place and the egg inside will not be contaminated by bacteria.

ahhh i love hong kong, and this is a legit dish. if you can find it at a hong kong style cafe you should totally try it. another great food you can find in hong kong is fried fish skin, there's a famous spot that's also in kowloon that tastes amazing in porridge and noodles.
