Steamed rice is a staple in many cuisines, but did you know that cooking it in stone or cast-iron pots can significantly enhance its benefits? The high heat from these materials helps break down the starch in the rice, converting it to glucose and resulting in a delightful sweetness. This makes the rice a nutritious and satisfying meal on its own, often enough to provide the necessary nutrients without the need for additional side dishes.

One popular dish that showcases the benefits of stone or cast-iron pot cooking is Hot Stone Pot Rice. This dish can feature a variety of ingredients, such as pollack roe, oyster, abalone, mushroom, and thistle, each adding its own unique flavor and texture. With the right sauce, the rice can be enjoyed as a complete and satisfying meal without any additional accompaniments.
