The claypots that I can find are those with the shiny interiors. Are these type of claypots safe to use as I am worried that the shine is unsafe. Thank you.
Hi Alphonsa,
I think it shouldn’t be a problem. Alternatively, you can cook the rice in the rice cooker and transfer to the claypot.
Regards
I have a similiar recipe but tend to find that the rice turns a little mushy after the chicken is added. I think the chicken producers in Canada pump the chicken with water. Maybe I should cook the chicken separately?
Just reading your recipe makes muy mouth (and my eyes) water at the remembrance of all the claypot chicken I had in Singapore or Malaysia…
Next week I will follow this recipe scrupulously for a simple treat to some friends coming over from the US (chances are they never had this sort of food) ; I even managed to find the proper pot, with unglazed lid.
Only trouble is – impossible to come by any “leafy veggies” in Asian supermarkets in Lyon, France… I hope some lettuce leaves will be a tolerable substitute.
Wish me luck ;o)
Thank you for this recipe! Can’t wait to try it. It looks really delicious.
