Raw Ingredients
Choosing Rice
To cook delicious clay pot rice, with soft grains that do not become mushy, you should choose new Tám xoan rice, long, slender, flat, and pointed at the ends. The selected rice should have a clear green color and a gentle natural aroma.
You should avoid selecting old rice, stored for a long time, with signs such as rice being milky, infested with pests, turning yellow,… Because these types of rice will significantly reduce the quality of the final product.
Choosing Chicken Eggs
For industrial chicken eggs, you should choose eggs with dark and uniform shells, not cracked or having black spots. These are fresh eggs, ensuring they are not rotten, spoiled, or rotten,…
If choosing fresh chicken eggs, you should buy eggs with slightly rough shells, bumpy. These are freshly laid eggs because the tiny pores have not yet closed, creating a rough texture when touched.
When gently shaking the chicken egg, if you can feel the egg yolk moving and hear a light sound, you should not buy it because these eggs have been stored for a long time and may even be spoiled.
Choosing Sausages
If you pay attention, you will see that fresh sausages, those without colorants or chemicals, will have a bright red color, evenly fresh, a characteristic aroma, and clear meat transparency. Therefore, you should choose these to ensure the quality of the clay pot rice.
In addition, you need to choose those with a thin outer layer made from pig intestines and are carefully processed, without a greasy or strong oil smell. Because if the sausage contains too much oil, it will affect health when consumed.
