What Ingredients are Needed?
Arborio Rice- This is the name of risotto rice. The key to a good risotto is letting the rice absorb stock a little bit at a time and not to down it all.
Miso- light miso, Yutaka White Miso is the one used in this recipe. It’s slightly sweeter, lighter in colour and flavour.
Rice wine vinegar- This gives a little acidity to the recipe which is needed.
Freshly chopped chives- This is such and important recipe to give a lovely herby and fresh flavour to compliment and cut through the rich miso flavour.
Vegetable stock- Using just boiling water and a stock cube for this. You might need a little more stock depending how thirsty your rice is, you want the texture creamy but not sloppy.
Cooking Tips:
Don’t undercook- arborio needs time and patience to make, which is why it’s so delicious. Be sure to add enough stock and let it absorb slowly.
Use good quality olive – using a good quality like an extra virgin olive oil makes sure the flavour is rich and crisp. The better quality the oil the better the flavour.
Don’t forget the herbs- the key to complimenting the flavours is lots of delicious fresh herbs. Don’t forget thee chives!
