Protein for this Recipe
Since this dish is inspired by the trending clay pot rice, one of the protein I use is the Chinese sausage or Lap Cheong. This Chinese sausage is sweet. Just so you know. Besides the Chinese sausage, I of course use chicken and also spam. However, please feel free to use your favorite type of sausage that you love. Spam in the recipe is optional.
