Well, since you asked, the Japanese only are more refined and hold the steam better, therefore yield better product. Peter is going to argue that.
However, there are some high-end product made in China being marketed as " Japanese Clay Pot" and charged accordingly; they are
quite acceptable. While the Chinese one could be as inexpensive as 99 Cents each (Chong Lee Supermarket Has them). How can you expect any
decent product retailed for that price?  I'm not against anything  made in Chinese, I think they should offer both low end products and reliable one
to satisfy different markets.  I bet  you pay more than one dollars for yours , right.

Thanks for sharing Master~
舊年整過一次兩煲， 基本上同你個做法差唔多， 就係冇浸泡啲米， 落咗冬菇臘腸同雞， 兩煲個飯底都好"濃"， 黑咗 ：（
究竟可以點做？
哦重有～！ 我係用大啲厚啲嘅日式煲， 咁會唔會有問題哩？

It was difficult to handle the timing for pork ribs with black bean sause and of course, don't forget the dried duck liver sausage.

I tried once... I panic at the last few mins (worry that rice didn't cook thro)... added more water and spoil the whole pot of rice... may try again this year.

I would soak the long grain rice for 1 hour, drain well,  for small hot pot, add rice and water, bring to boil, turn down the heat to simmer

Soak the rice? Then, how to measure the amount of water the rice need?
We used to have the ratio 1 to 1, and after the soaking, need less water?

The solution is simple, you wash the rice, put the rice and water in the pot,
wait for 30 minute before you start cooking.
Actually soaking is recommended this would enable better absorption thus more tender rice,
even for electric rice cooker

It is not rocket science, don't think it so complicated
