Hello, everyone. I'm Wang Gang.
In this video I'm sharing with you
Home-made Sparerib Claypot Rice.
First let's add some glutinous rice to a pot (10%)
Also add some pearl rice (30%)
Finally add Thai Fragrant Rice (60%)
Then rinse and soak for 3 hours in water.
Prepare some dried shiitake mushrooms and soak them in water for 1 hour.
The mushroom need to be washed during soaking.
Next, start preparing the main ingredient.
Prepare some lean pork ribs and chopped into small pieces.
It's better to choose the ribs with less fat.
That's how to avoid greasy.
After chopping the ribs, add some baking soda (2g) to the pot with ribs.
Then add water and scrub the ribs several times.
The purpose of this step is to make the ribs more tender.
And also removes excess blood to prevent blackening.
Start preparing the other ingredients next.
Prepare some ginger, scallions and garlic cut into small slices and pieces for later use.
Prepare some red and green peppers and sliced onions, cut into small pieces.
The purpose of adding the red and green peppers and onions is to add the colors.
Then cut the soaked mushrooms in half.
Finally, prepare some Douchi (black beans, fermented soya beans) and chop into fine pieces.
The next step is seasoning.
Add 1 spoon of table salt.
Add some oyster sauce (3g)
Add some light soy sauce (5g)
Add 3 grams of dark soy sauce to set the color.
Add a bit of white pepper powder and stir well.
If you like juicy, you can also add some starch water.
If you prefer the original, you can leave starch water out.
Add some more sesame oil and mix well.
Add red and green peppers and onions at the end.
Next let's start cooking.
First of all, let's turn on medium-low heat to heat up the claypot.
Once the temperature reaches 90 °C start brushing the pot evenly with oil.
The purpose of this step is for the rice crust to be golden and crispy without burning.
Then add the soaked rice
Flatten it out and add just enough water to cover the rice.
The water should be just above the rice.
Because this is pre-soaked rice.
Too much water will turn it into a risotto, and there's no rice crust.
Then put the lid on and bring the water to boil.
After the water is boiled, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 18 minutes (including the rib cooking time).
Once the rice is formed, need to open the lid to...
Make some holes with chopsticks for better air ventilation.
When the rice half cooked (about after 10 minutes), then start adding the marinated ribs.
Then drizzle the sesame oil evenly over the the pot.
The purpose of this step is to raise the temperature of the rice.
It also speeds up the rice crust forming in the pot.
And during the remaining eight minutes of cooking.
We need to tilt the pot in different directions.
The goal of this step is to let the pot evenly heated to produce rice crust.
After 8 minutes, add your favorite vegetables and let the residual temperature to cook.
A very tasty Home-made Sparerib Claypot Rice is ready!
Let's start the technical summary.
First,
It's better to use three kinds of rice.
There is Thai Jasmine rice.
It's more fragrant. The downside is that it doesn't form rice crust easily.
The second is Pearl Rice.
The advantage is that it has an elastic texture.
The third is glutinous rice.
The advantage is that it will form a crispy rice crust.
The ratio of the three types of rice is 60% Thai Jasmine rice.
30% pearl rice.
10% glutinous rice.
Second,
The main ingredients of claypot rice are not limited to ribs.
You can also use fish fillets, chicken, cured meat, etc.
The best choice of fish fillets is sea bass.
Don't slice the fish too thin or it won't taste good.
Let's enjoy some footages of different ingredients.
Finally have a look of the finished dishes.
