Hong Kong style claypot rice usually cook with charcoal. The rice are cooked and steamed slowly with Chinese Sausage or Pork belly, whip up a quick sauce, and stir it all together with fresh green onion. The salty, savory sausage and pork belly flavor the rice. In this recipe I also used a cast iron pot instead of claypot.
1. Rinse the stored bought Chinese sausage, if you have homemade sausage, it is not necessary to do this step.
2. Rinse and drain short grain rice, brown rice and millet with a sift.
3. Chinese sausage slice thinly on the diagonal. Trim off the broccoli florets, slice straight through the broccoli stem as close to the crown as you can get. The crown should break into several large florets. Cut through the “trunk” of each floret to make bite-sized pieces. Thinly sliced the stem, you can remove the tougher top layer of skin with a peeler if you would like. Cut away the root of Buna Shimeji.
4. Bring a large pot of water to a rapid boil. Add the broccoli stem first, then add the florets and cook until crisp-tender for about 1 minutes. Stems take longer than florets to cook. Remove the florets and then stem with a slotted spoon and plunge immediately.
5. Turn on the electric ceramic heaters stove to the highest heat (2000W) , add the Chinese sausage and fried until the oil comes out. Turn down the heat to 800W. Add buna shimeji mushrooms, stir fried until the mushroom smelt good. You can add some water if the pot is too hot. Transfer the Chinese sausage and mushroom to a plate and set aside.
6. Don’t wash the cast iron pot. Add in your raw rice to the pot (still on medium-high heat) gently stir the raw rice in the fat for 30 seconds until coated. Pour in hot water and snuggle in the pork belly and sausage in the rice. I don’t want the rice to be too oily so I don’t put the sausage in. Add rice vinegar and stir well. Bring to a low boil and immediately cover. Cooked at the medium heat (1200W) for 10 minutes. Then turn off the stove, take away the cast iron pot and keep the lid cover for 10 ~ 15 minutes. Don’t try to open the lid we need keep the temperature to cooked rice.
7. Mix the sweet soy sauce.
8. Open the lid, quickly place all the sausage and vegetables onto the cooked rice. Covered again and put it back to the stove on low heat (400 W) for 5 ~ 10. If you like coke rice, you may cook with higher heat. If the rice still not cooked, you need to cooked the rice for longer time with low heat.
9. Serve with rice and sweet soy sauce drizzled on top.
