Hong Kong-Style Rice Pot

A twist on the usual fried rice, this one-pot dish, traditionally made in a clay pot, steams the meat and veg while the rice cooks. The marinade seeps into the rice, adding moisture and seasoning. Great for a gathering as part of a large meal – and also makes brilliant leftovers too.Don’t be alarmed if the bottom of the rice becomes a bit crispy – this is part of the dish and very delicious.
