December is a time for slowing down, gathering close, and enjoying warm, comforting meals at home. One dish that perfectly captures this feeling is Cantonese-style clay pot rice—simple, fragrant, and deeply satisfying.
For this version, we start with Sunlee Buddha Jasmine Rice (new crop), known for its soft texture and naturally aromatic fragrance. Cooking the rice in a clay pot allows the grains to absorb moisture gently, creating a tender bite and subtle toasted notes at the bottom—one of the most beloved features of this dish.
As the rice cooks and nears completion, Chinese sausage, peas, scallions, and shiitake mushrooms are added directly to the pot. The warmth releases their flavors slowly, infusing the rice with savory richness and a comforting aroma that fills the kitchen.
To finish, Sunlee Premixed Pad Thai Sauce is drizzled over the rice, adding a balanced touch of sweetness and umami. An egg is cracked on top while the rice is still hot, and the yolk is gently mixed in, coating each grain with a silky richness that brings everything together.
The result is a dish that feels both nostalgic and effortless—perfect for cozy holiday dinners or quiet evenings at home. Made with Sunlee Buddha Jasmine Rice and Sunlee premixed sauce, this clay pot rice is easy to prepare, gently fragrant, and wonderfully comforting for the Christmas season.
