I’m 100%Italian and make risotto often and I can taste the flavors by the ingredients ... it’s a 10 !

I've been loving this recipe, I made these changes:
-didn't have any shallots but I figured a little fresh ginger would be a nice balance to the shitake. Highly recommend that.
-I used vegetable oil and a small splash of sesame oil.
-added soy sauce to the shitake water for the salt.

Everything else was to the recipe. It's fantastic, worth all the stirring

not going to lie...my mouth salivated all the way through this video!

As an Italian, there's nothing to shout about! Looks good and it's done the right way!

[createwithbarbbl]

Definitely a recipe to try this winter here in Australia. Comfort food at its best. Thank's Wil.

Looks delicious! Never made risotto because it looks so time consuming but this looks so much easier going to give it a try.

[ritadennis]

Wow made this recipe. Great even with dried mushrooms. It can also be made into a delicious soup with added broth.

Love your channel matey. James. England

Did you say, "a real 'rice' way to end off your day"?? I love the way you narrate! So far, every recipe of yours I've tried has turned out really well. I'll get you the feedback about the fennel and potato salad soon. I got a sad fennel bulb at the store and want to get a proper one to give the recipe the respect it deserves. Anyway, this recipe looks delightful too! I need to get cooking! Keep up the inspirational deliciousness!

Ciao Yeung! You shouldn’t worry about the ‘Italian nonna ‘ since most the famous dishes that we think are Italians, came from the East, in this case, the East refers to ‘gli Arabi’ or the Arabs when their empire encompassed part of Southern Europe including Spain, Portugal, southern Italy, Malta etc.. they brought us pasta, coffee, the art of making ‘sorbetto ‘ ( sorbet), safran, spices, citrus fruit, artichokes, spinach aubergine, sesame, couscous, arancini, taralli, panzerotti, pizza, focaccia and Rice which ironically is an Arabic word in all western languages as in the case, of coffee, artichokes, aubergine, orange, lemon, spinach, safran and sorbet. I discovered all this in an incredible Expo in Milano just couple of years ago and the superb historical work of Dilucca Govoni ‘ titled : Mangiamo Arabo senza Saperlo’ ( we eat Arabic food without knowing it) .. I got to learn that the Arabs’ influence reached Southeast Asia: Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and India.. and here we are sitting ‘on top’ with our arrogance lecturing the savvy people of the Asian continent how to eat, when in reality, their food is equal to none and full of bewildering flavors ( thinking of the amazing gastronomies of Lebanon, Japan, India etc.. ) have you ever seen how the Lebanese, Syrians or Palestinians make the original pizza they brought to Italy ? with Zaatar, olive oil and their amazing spices? It was quite remarkable to learn the wealth of historical gastronomies that shaped Italian food ( in that expo) but we hardly admit it because we suffer from a syndrome called ‘ complex of superiority ‘.

O man I love risotto and I am going. To try this recipe for sure.

[Ira.]

Wow this is almost like how I cook my rice with mushrooms!
I just called it "creamy mushroom rice", because it's not exactly risotto.
Whatever you call it, it's delicious and amazing 😋

[elsalisa]

I had a Japanese Chef make a baked risotto with mushrooms just like this. It much be a thing? Looks yummy.

[PercentOS]

Thank you. I'm glad I came across your video. I've been looking for a long time for a Japanese style Risotto that didn't have cheese in it. Definitely will be trying as soon as I order some miso paste.

[中村磨美絵]

It sounds very delicious fusion! I’ll try to make it and add some seven spices on the top!

[joyfullrecipesjoyfullrecip]

Bravo! If you are able to find it try the Carnaroli rice variety it's the top for mushroom risotto !

[livinlavidaloki]

Just discovered your channel and I’m in love😍 your content quality is amazing and all your recipes look amazing!! Keep up the good work, I’m definitely buying your cookbook when it comes out ☺️

[oreettroll]

Looks great. I have all of the ingredients for this at home except for the Chinese chives. I might have to try making this tonight or tomorrow.
