How to make Malaysian clay pot chicken rice at home

This is a simple easy to make Malaysian clay pot chicken rice, a popular street food among the Malaysian Chinese. In colloquial Penang Hokkien, it is called "sapo kay pui" or in Cantonese, it is called "sapo kai fun". This street food is more popular in Kuala Lumpur (KL) then in Penang and can be easily found at most Malaysian style food courts. Usually, we eat it as a meal itself..since it already has the rice, meat and vegetable. You can also break an egg into the clay pot once everything in there is cooked (like eating the Korean's bulgogi).

Made this today. Made a couple of changes: used 1:1.5 rice, water ratio instead, doubled marinade and poured in as sauce when cooking instead of using separate sauce and arguably most importantly, cooked on charcoal flame. Turned out excellent! Easily comparable to the popular claypot rice stalls in Singapore. Great recipe!

This is like my next door Chinese uncle. Very soft spoken! Love this video 😊

My rice was usually too wet in the past and I finally got it right with crispy crust even without using a claypot. Dont know how I managed to do it. This recipe is a keeper. Thanks for solving the food cravings of a Singaporean living in Melbourne!

I made this today and the whole family raved it.So much so that my son wants to take it tomorrow as well for his school lunch.Thank you so much for this amazing(you made its o simple to follow)recipe:))

This is a delicious dish, I like to suggest 2 additions: 1st soak the rice in water for at least 1/2 hr it will make cooking easier and faster, I learn this from a restaurant chef, 2nd I would make is to fry the chicken and Chinese sausages and mushroom separately with ginger before adding them in the clay pot. All the favours will just come out while cooking in the pot. Enjoy, good recipe.

Victor, I love your gentle yet authoritative dialogue. You are a true master of your craft. Now, I plan to make this delicious-looking dish and was wondering whether the salted fish would be something normally bought dried, or frozen. My local Asian supermarket couldn't confirm one way or the other. But I suspect it is a dried ingredient. Any guidance you could give would be very welcome. Keep the wonderful videos coming!

It reminds me of Malaysia too, Victor. I am from Kampar! Where R U from?? I have tried Kampar CPR and your instructions are clear for anyone to follow. I'll be cooking CPR tomorrow as my son is visiting and he loves CPR> I live in Bedford, England.

I’m so glad this came up on my feed. I’m so obsessed with clay pot dishes but have never made it because I don’t have gas stove (induction) but I would love to try to make it one day thanks for sharing!

Yum! I can smell the clay pot from San Francisco :)

[alinalxyzmaya]

Another great recipe. I did try some of your earlier recipes although i had to substitute some items to make it Halal. I really wanted to ask you this: for this smashing Chicken Claypot Rice, what would you recommend to replace the lap cheung and the cook8ng wine? This is a recipe that i hope to get to the closest of the source.
We look forward to more great recipes from you.
