Perfect Clay Pot Rice
Learn how to cook perfect rice in a clay pot! Just 2 ingredients are required to make light and fluffy white rice!
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp oil
- 1/3 cup chopped green onions
- 3/4 cup white basmati rice soaked for 35-40 minutes
- 1 cup water
Optional Sauce
- 1 and 1/2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1/8 tsp ground black pepper adjust to taste
Instructions
- Heat the oil in an 8-inch clay pot over medium heat. Once hot, add the chopped green onions and sauté for about 1 minute.
- Drain the rice and add it to the clay pot. Cover with the water and give it a quick stir.
- Bring the water to a boil. Once boiling, cover with the lid and reduce the heat to a simmer. Let simmer covered for 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and leave the clay pot covered in the heat for another 5 minutes.
- Use a fork to fluff the rice and enjoy!
- If using the sauce: combine the soy sauce, sugar, and ground black pepper in a small bowl. Mix to dissolve the sugar. Pour the sauce into the rice and stir to coat.
Notes
You can omit the green onions if you want, but I recommend not omitting the oil. It prevents the rice from sticking and improves its flavor.
If not using the sauce, add a rounded 1/8 tsp of salt to the water before cooking.
