Amazingly Delicious Rice Cooked in a Clay Pot

Paddy

Clay pot rice is surprisingly easy, quick, and absolutely delicious! This foolproof method will have you making perfect rice every time! ♪

Ingredients

2 servings
  • Rice2 cups (360 cc)
  • Water430 cc (approximately 1.2 times the volume of rice)

Directions

25 min
  1. 1

    Rinse 2 cups (360 cc) of rice and soak it in water for about 30 minutes to allow it to absorb water. You only need enough water to cover the rice initially.

  2. 2

    After soaking the rice, drain the water completely and transfer the rice to a colander to remove excess moisture.

  3. 3

    Pour the measured 430 cc of water into the clay pot, add the rice, and cover with the lid. Using cold water will give you the best results.

  4. 4

    Start with high heat to bring the water to a boil, then reduce to medium heat and cook for 5 minutes.

  5. 5

    After 5 minutes, reduce heat to the lowest setting for 4 minutes. Then, turn the heat back to high for 3-5 seconds.

  6. 6

    Finally, let the rice rest for 10 minutes off the heat. After resting, gently stir the rice top and bottom and it's ready to serve.

  7. 7

    The key to perfect rice is adjusting the heat in this order: boil on high heat → 5 minutes on medium heat → 4 minutes on low heat → high heat for a few seconds.

Tips

Note that 1 cup of rice equals 180 cc, and measuring cups may vary in capacity. For your first time, we recommend adding 1-2 extra tbsp of water to test.
