This is one of those dishes I can’t get enough of. This is my vegan take on my favourite Hong Kong Clay Pot Rice! It’s rice cooked down in a clay pot where the rice absorbs all the juices and flavours from the mushrooms, tofu, and sauce until super tasty and aromatic! I seriously couldn’t stop taking spoonfuls of this, especially when it’s freshly cooked and super warm. It’s a complete meal packed with all the goods! It’s also perfectly hearty and satisfying.You can also make this without a clay pot and use a dutch oven regulat pot/pan—just make sure your pan or cooking vessel has a lid and you’re set!
