Claypot rice

Claypot rice (Chinese: 煲仔飯; Jyutping: bou1 zai2 faan6 or Chinese: 沙煲飯; Jyutping: saa1 bou1 faan6), 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.
