北菇滑雞煲仔飯 | Clay Pot Chicken Rice with Cantonese Sausage - Josephine's Recipes 60

Clay Pot Chicken Rice with Cantonese Sausage is a very popular one pot meal among the Chinese community in everywhere, affectionately called Bo Zai Fan in Cantonese. It is traditionally cooked in a clay pot, but you can use electric rice cooker for convenience. Before I bought a claypot, I cooked claypot rice using a rice cooker and you can see this picture has a wonderful smoky flavour and a nice crust. These are actually the best bits of the dish, adding a satisfying crunch to every bite.
