    Hou Sik! Absolutely what i needed, 1 more subsciber for you!
    I want to ask though Mr. Victor, i heard that the temperature is essential for cooking the right rice crust on the bottom, which heat are you using to cook the rice? Or is it flexible and depend on the senses of the chef? Thank you

    Made this today. Made a couple of changes: used 1:1.5 rice, water ratio instead, doubled marinade and poured in as sauce when cooking instead of using separate sauce and arguably most importantly, cooked on charcoal flame. Turned out excellent! Easily comparable to the popular claypot rice stalls in Singapore. Great recipe!

    I LOVE this recipe. will definitely make it soon (also I have that same blue bowl you had the raw chicken in (: )
    also I have some questions!. was the clay pot cooking the rice alone at first on high heat? and then on lowest heat after you added the chicken and covered it?

    Thanks!

    Hi, amazing recipe! Going to try it later. Just to verify, the video shows half cup of rice to 1 cup of stock water. However, the detail recipe on your website is 1 cup to 1 cup. May I know which is which?

    Technically bao zai fan, but adjusted to Malaysian taste. You are adding way too many garnishes/aromatic ingredients, which imo, decreases the importance of the main protein (Can be pork ribs, beef, chicken legs, and other meats). I have been cooking since i was nine, so i do think i have a point. You might be a huge chef in malaysia or whatever, but i have been taught that my way is probably the most traditional and you will find it helpful. Perhaps if you find this comment too offensive you can stop reading the rest from here.
    One thing i would say you did wrong is that you season stuff before final step, eating. Normally for our family, we add special seasoning like aromatic salt and special soy sauce (soy sauce but with a stronger sweetness and umami flavor) before we eat it, instead of seasoning the whole thing. That way we have a bit more freedom on creating our own favorite clay pot rice.
    Well I wouldn’t say its actually wrongful, but i just don’t like the way that its made. Also, try using smaller clay pot, clay pot rice is suppose to be for one person and only one person. Why the redundancy here? Coz its important. Back in the old days, southern farmers in china were hungry, and they dont have enough time to go back home for dinner. Cheap to go, bite size clay pot rice is the best fit. Delicious and easy to finish in a short time so that they can be back at work asap. (Well as long as the crunchy part is not wrong anything can be called bao zai fan if its made in a claypot).
    Each culture has their own way of doing things and that I wouldn’t or couldn’t deny nor defy. Anyway, the suggestion is made, your freedom to take or ignore.

    My rice was usually too wet in the past and I finally got it right with crispy crust even without using a claypot. Dont know how I managed to do it. This recipe is a keeper. Thanks for solving the food cravings of a Singaporean living in Melbourne!
