Steamed Clay Pot Rice with Chinese Waxed Meat

A traditional favourite on the menu this festive season is the Steamed Clay Pot Rice with Chinese Waxed Meat. For some this is a must have dish and I love it too because its flavour and aroma from the Chinese sausages specially flown in from Hong Kong. This dish requires up to 45 minutes to prepare for the flavours of the vegetables, Chinese herbs and meat to infuse into the rice leaving a distinct and rich flavour.
