Well-known for its unique culinary and cultural dining experience offering dishes from all three regions of Vietnam, Spice Viet Hue Restaurant has launched an “irresistibly delicious” clay pot rice menu that’s not to be missed.
Clay pot rice is a traditional dish in Vietnamese cuisine. In the past, this humble dish of rice with a crispy, almost-burnt bottom, was synonymous with the poorer class of society. However, in modern times where rice is cooked in aluminum pots or electric rice cookers, clay pot rice has ironically become a specialty reserved for “gourmet” diners.
Making clay pot rice is a labor-intensive process where every step is important, from choosing the right type of clay pot and ingredients to the execution. The pot must be made from soft clay, fired so that the walls of the pot are thin yet hard and durable. Also, the pot must not be warped or uneven in any way. The type of rice used is typically the Tam Xoan variety, with flat, long grains and pointed ends resulting in rice that’s tender and fragrant without being overcooked. The process of cooking clay pot rice is lengthy and requires patience, but the results are definitely worth the wait.
At Spice Viet Hue, the fragrant aroma and tender grains of glutinous rice, skillfully seasoned, are enhanced when accompanied by dishes such as braised pork, caramelized fish, stir-fried shrimp with salt and tamarind soup.
The clay pot rice menu includes more than 70 dishes featuring pork, beef, chicken, fish, shrimp and squid, along with countless varieties of fermented fish and soups, promising a top-tier culinary experience for diners.
Understanding that cuisine is not just eating and drinking but also an art, familiar dishes are creatively and meticulously plated and presented. The spread of clay pot rice dishes simply bursts with colors and flavors including sour, spicy, salty and sweet, a feature of Vietnamese cuisine and in particular, Hue royal cuisine.
