Okay it has taken me ages to get here (to this post!) but your risotto sounds delicious. I love garlic stalk but never thought to put it in rissotto. Hubby has a few things on this month so I have lots of dinners just with the kids so I might go and buy some sun dried tomatoes, feta and other bits and have some more risotto!!!

Yum! I love risotto. I have only ever made it with my mum so we shared the stirring A friend made it for hubby and I when she stayed and unfortunately it wasn’t the best risotto ever so hub was not a fan. He is actually not much of a rice person at night as he is more interested in beverages and side dishes that go with them. I love making stuff for my friends when they come over for lunch though. I have never made mushroom risotto but remember having some delicious ones at restaurants so please share the recipe again if you make it

Just finally catching up with all the happenings in the world, sorry to hear that you were(are?) sick. Japanese Drs must be the most oblivious people in the world.

The risotta sounds quite yummy.

Thanks everyone!

Katie M- haha, I read your comment on fb and was like “um, done!”

Emily- It is actually easier to make than it looks! Just got to keep stirring!!!

Trisha- Oh nabe. YUM! We do not have a nabe set but I desperately want one (I want one with a hot plate too so we can do yakiniku at the table on special occasions too). Chicken and spinach nabe with soy milk sounds interesting but delicious. I have already told my MIL that next time we go there for dinner I want kimichi nabe….she was here the other day! lol

Lisa E- You should definitely try to make your own. No matter what you want to put in it, it is good! The same principles apply for other risottos- I use a similar recipe to make a chicken, sundried tomato and fetta risotto. Also yummy!

Sounds good! We have been having a lot of nabe type dishes to stay warm over here. I made a soy milk nabe with chicken and spinach the other day and after we had eaten everything I used the leftover broth to make a risotto-ish dish. Basically I just added rice, grated cheese, a little soy sauce and black pepper and a little leftover ham from the fridge. So good!

Mm, this recipe looks amazing! I love a good risotto, though I`ve never made it before. Maybe I need to try to make my own soon~!

Opps should’ve checked here before I commented on your FB status! Looks delcious! Might try it! I don’t make risotto often for the same reason! All that stirring is tiresome, but I bet it was worth it since you both enjoyed it so much and you’ve got leftovers!

Kelly: Risotto is good! I am sure your husband would like it. As long as you continuously stir it it is fine- it is not difficult just slightly annoying to have to stir continuously. Hope it works for you

Devon: I have a microwave oven so I can use oven if I want but sometimes it is just easier to cook on the hot plate! Chinese stirfries etc are great when you don`t have an oven though as well!

Sounds delicious! And I like that it doesn’t need an oven. I used the oven back in America about 95% of the time I cooked so here in Japan I feel slightly like a fish out of water in the kitchen. I’ll have to try this one~! Thanks!
