A kind of Risotto rice I found in Germany! Not the most quality one, but I also didn’t pay much for it!

工具 equipment :

大煎Pan Saucepan
煲 Pot

步驟 procedure :

1. 先把洋蔥切粒，把橄欖油加至煎pan中，開大火，直至油熱後，轉中細火並把洋蔥炒至軟身

2. 與此同時，把雞湯放在煲裡，並慢慢加熱

3. 洋蔥軟身後，把雞柳煎至剛熟，放到碟上 (洋蔥可留在pan內)

4. 把雜菜加到煎pan，加些少水煮至剛熟。用叉刀把雞柳撕開，備用

5. 此時雞湯應煮至翻滾，雜菜煮熟後把意大利米放進pan內，攪勻

6. 如想加入白酒，把白酒加入，攪勻

7. 保持中火，當pan內的水分差不多沒有時，加雞湯至剛覆蓋意大利米，攪勻

8. 加入剛才備用的雞粒，當pan內的水分差不多沒有時，加雞湯並攪勻

9. 重複直至意大利米軟身，試味，鹹味不夠可加鹽
10. 加入黑椒並攪勻，熄火

11. 把牛油及芝士粉加入並攪勻，上碟，完成！

1. Chopped he onion to small pieces. Add Olive oil to the saucepan, turn up the heat until the oil is hot, turn it to medium-small fire and add onion, fry till soften

2. At the same time, prepare the chicken stock in the pot, heat it up slowly

3. When the onion is softened, fry the chicken till just ready, then take the chicken out (onion can leave in the saucepan)

4. Add the mixed vegetables into the saucepan, add a little bit of water till the vegetables just ready. Shred the chicken with fork and knife, put aside for later

5. By this time, chicken stock should be boiling. When the mixed vegetables are ready, put the Arborio rice into the saucepan, and mix them

6. If you would like to add white wine, now it’s the time, and mix well

7. Keep it at medium fire, when the liquid in the pan almost dries up, add chicken stock till just cover the rice, mix well
8. Add the shredded chicken. When there’s not much liquid in the saucepan, add chicken stock and mix

9. Repeat the procedure until Arborio is soft and ready to eat, taste it, if it’s not salty enough, add salt

10. Add Black pepper and mix, turn off the fire

11. Finish off by mixing with butter and Parmesan Cheese, ready to serve!

小小心得 little tips :

1. 用木勺來煮意大利飯 Use a wooden spatula to cook risotto

2. 一般也會找到雞湯粒或雞粉，加到滾水攪拌即可 Usually it’s easy to find a chicken stock cube or stock powder from the supermarket, just add to hot water and that’s it

3. 白酒能令意大利飯更甜美，但太多會令飯變酸 White wine will make the risotto tastes more sweet, but will turn sour if there’s too much

4. 最後的牛油和芝士粉是意大利飯的靈魂，意大利飯即煮即食味道最好 The butter and Parmesan cheese is the soul of the Risotto, enjoy the meal right after as it tastes the best
