Vietnamese food for beginners: Claypot (noi dat)

Saturday, April 03, 2010 (GMT+7)

Claypot cookery is very southern, and very satisfying.

Claypots are usually small, often unglazed, with a lid, and look little different from a flowerpot with a lid. They were originally used by farmers and fishermen who had little to cook, few pots to cook in, and little fuel for the fire.
