Heun Kee Claypot Chicken Rice

Lap Cheong is a dried, cured pork sausage from southern China, recognized by its thin, wrinkled skin, deep red color, and sweet-savory flavor. Made from coarsely chopped pork and pork fat, seasoned with soy sauce, rice wine, sugar, and sometimes rose water, then air-dried until firm. The sausages are sold in pairs tied with string and need to be cooked before eating, most often sliced and steamed on top of rice. A Cantonese kitchen staple for centuries, Lap Cheong shows up in stir-fries, clay pot rice, turnip cake, and sticky rice stuffing.
