chinese clay pot recipe with sausage and chicken

Hong Kong Clay Pot Rice with Chicken

Clay pot rice is a one pot dish with fragrant meat and crispy rice. The rice is super fragrant because the rice is cooked with the chicken and Chinese sausage. This dish goes great with leafy vegetables like choy sum or chinese brocolli. It originates from Hong Kong but also is called Chinese clay pot rice.

Cooking rice in a clay pot gives the dish an earthy aroma and helps the rice at the bottom form a nice and crispy crust. If you don’t have a clay pot, you can use a regular pot or a rice cooker ◡̈

INGREDIENTS YOU NEED FOR YOUR CHICKEN CLAY POT RICE RECIPE:

  • jasmine rice
  • water
  • mushrooms
  • chinese sausage, cut into pieces
  • light olive oil
  • boneless chicken thigh (skin-on)
  • green onions
  • sweet soy sauce

chicken marinade:

  • salt
  • white pepper
  • shaoxing cooking wine
  • soy sauce
  • ginger
  • chicken bouillon
  • sugar
  • corn starch
  • water
  • olive oil

A traditional clay pot recipe also includes cured pork belly and pork spareribs. If you have these two ingredients, you should add them to your rice for ultimate flavor!

Steps to make the chicken clay pot recipe:

  1. Cut 1 pound of boneless chicken thigh in 1 inch pieces. Add chicken and the following ingredients to marinate: 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon white pepper, 1/2 tablespoon shaoxing cooking wine, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 2 thin slices of ginger, 1/2 teaspoon chicken bouillon, 1/2 teaspoon sugar, 1 tablespoon corn starch, 1/4 cup water, and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Marinate for a minimum of 15 minutes to 2 hours.
  2. Wash rice and add rice and water to the clay pot. Place clay pot on fire and turn heat to high. Cover the clay pot and cook for 5-7 minutes until the water is boiling.
    • Rice Cooker Version: Add the washed rice and water in the rice cooker. Then, add marinated chicken, chinese sausage, and mushrooms. Close the rice cooker and press the ‘start’ button. This will result in no crispy rice at the bottom, but so easy for a quick dinner! When rice is done, add green onions and sweet soy sauce. Then, mix everything together.
  3. When the water is boiling, add chinese sausage, marinated chicken and shiitake mushrooms. Finally, add 1 tablespoon olive oil at the top. Cover the clay pot and turn the heat to low-medium. Cook for roughly 15 minutes (cook for 20 minutes if you like extra crispy rice, but be careful not to burn the rice!). While cooking, you can move the pot around to ensure that there’s an even layer of crispy rice at the bottom.
  4. Take the pot off of the heat and let it rest covered for 10-20 minutes. Then take off the lid, add green onions and sweet soy sauce. Mix everything together to ensure that everyone gets a bite of the crispy rice! Hope you enjoy!

My childhood comfort food! 👧🏻 I always look My childhood comfort food! 👧🏻 I always look forward to when my mom would make cheung fun or Hong Kong rice noodles for me as a kid on her way to work on saturday and sunday mornings. Hong Kong rice noodles are known as Cheung fun (腸粉) in Cantonese. Cheung Fun is a popular street snack in Hong Kong and is often served as a dim sum item. These rice noodles are super soft & jiggly after steaming. The rice noodles consists of many layers of noodles so it’s perfect for adding sauces on top. I recommend sauces like XO sauce (dried scallop and shrimp chili oil), hoisin sauce, peanut butter, soy sauce, and oyster sauce for the ultimate food bite! 

google ‘rice noodle dana’ for full recipe or click link in bioooo! 💖 have a lovely weekend my dumplings!

Currently dreaming of this hong kong french toast Currently dreaming of this hong kong french toast and milk tea combo for brekkies 💭My secret ingredient for my hong kong french toast is dairy milk! I dip shokupan (Japanese white bread or asian style white bread) in dairy milk which really helps soften the bread for extra fluffiness and then dip in egg batter and panko bread crumbs (non-traditional method but SO GOOD!) for that extra crispy bite 😋#gonnaneedmilk

Not only is milk a great ingredient for cooking, milk contains 4 B vitamins, which helps our bodies convert food into energy. So essentially the milk in milk tea is a quick and easy way to kickstart your busy day with energy. If you’re lactose intolerant, don’t worry, lactose-free milk  has all the same nutritional benefits as traditional milk! So… when are you trying this recipe?

My new favorite soup right now 😍Here’s a supe My new favorite soup right now 😍Here’s a super easy and not traditional Korean ox bone soup aka Seolleongtang 설렁탕 🥰 Super hot bone broth is topped with beautifully marbled beef, Chinese chives, green onions, and some salt and pepper to taste. Add some Korean kimchi radish and it’s chef’s kiss!

See blog post for more detail on the ingredients (like which bone broth I bought) and full recipe ◡̈ You gotta use somen noodles for this recipe. It only takes 3 minutes to make. Tip: boil noodles at the same time as the broth to make cooking fast🍜

Wishing you luck, health and prosperity with this Wishing you luck, health and prosperity with this turnip cake recipe aka loh bok go in cantonese. Gung Hey Fat Choy ([恭喜发财] my dumplings! PS. I don’t recommend saying lai see dou loi unless you’re very close to that relative or you are a young child lol

Full recipe is linked in bio or find on my bloggg 🧧🐰

I finally finished testing out this recipe (it’s beeen a few months haha)! I was struggling with the texture for a little while. Now, the recipe is good to go ◡̈  The flavor is very savory from the chinese sausage and cured pork belly (made from my dad!) and also sweet from the radish. The texture is firm but not too doughy because I loaded this up with lots and lots of radish. You will never find a restaurant that has as much radish as this homemade recipe. Lastly, I pan fried the turnip cake to give it a nice crisp at the end. 

Don’t forget Chinese New Year is celebrated on the eve (21st of January!) so have a nice dinner with your family on Saturday. Then my mom told me to not clean or do any labor on actual Chinese New Years Day (22nd of January). Wishing all you dumplings good health and wealth in the upcoming year.

This egg drop soup is inspired by my parent’s Ch This egg drop soup is inspired by my parent’s Chinese restaurant 😋Silken tofu is cooked in a sweet chicken broth and cornstarch slurry is added to thicken the soup as well as make the smooth & thick texture. 

Some Cantonese restaurants serve this with real crab meat (highly recommend if you have this!) and the color is on the whiter end (hence why we’re using egg whites!). However, if you want to use the whole egg, feel free to use it! The egg yolk makes the soup more yellow and creamy. 

You can google ‘cook with dana egg drop soup’ for full recipe or find it in my link in bio! Hope you have a wonderful week my dumplings and can’t wait to show you my Chinese New Year recipes!

Fridge clean out time! 🙃 Crab jeon (omelette) o Fridge clean out time! 🙃 Crab jeon (omelette) or korean seafood pancake is a great recipe to use all your leftover ingredients in the fridge. For groceries, I always use the ‘first in, first out’ method meaning the older groceries need to be used before eating the new stuff. I’m chopping up leftover vegetables and onions in small pieces and mixing them together with imitation crab. The pancake may taste different depending on what ingredients you have but once you mix it with eggs and some flour (especially korean pancake mix!), it will taste scrumptious in it’s own unique way. 

The next time you stock up, make sure to keep some type of seafood in the freezer at all times. For me, I tend to buy extra imitation crab and shrimp. Then you will always have good staples to make with your leftover ingredients. 

Check link in bio for recipe or google ‘crab jeon dana’ to find full recipe and directions ◡̈ Stay dry california dumplings, there’s lots of rain here haha.
