The Comfort of a Good Claypot
Smoky, crispy-bottomed and deeply satisfying — the enduring appeal of claypot rice.
Few dishes comfort like a claypot rice, its bottom layer crisped into golden, smoky crust the Cantonese call “faan ziu”.
It’s all about the pot
A seasoned claypot holds and radiates heat, crisping the rice while keeping the top fluffy.
Patience at the end
Letting it rest off the heat lets the crust set and the flavours settle.
Book a Cantonese home chef and order it fresh from the pot.
