Mushrooms & Pork Ribs Claypot Rice

Mushrooms & Pork Ribs Claypot Rice is a type of claypot rice basically is made with soft rib pork, mushrooms, soy sauce and of course rice

I was never planning to make one of this but one of my friends made one and posted it in Facebook and since then I was craving badly for one. If I can still remember the last time I had a proper Claypot Rice was in the streets of Hong Kong on one of the fly-by-night street eateries in the Tsim Sha Tsui area. This type of eateries are famous in Hong Kong during my time in there where at night time small restaurants become spacious by occupying the side streets by placing tables and chairs outside to accommodate diners, one of the famous dishes they serve at this time is this Claypot rice which can vary in flavour.

Today I am making the Mushrooms & Pork Ribs Claypot Rice which is one of the many variations of this dish. This claypot rice basically is made with soft rib pork, mushrooms, soy sauce and of course rice. The dish is cooked in a claypot where rice is placed at the bottom and remaining ingredients on top, in effect the flavours seep through the rice absorbing its savoury goodness. It’s quite easy to make, no fancy sautéing or browning needed, just put it all in the pot then let it cook.

A very good dish to serve during cold days but make sure you have a good claypot that can hold the heat for long as the food is best consumed piping hot.
