Shiitake & Miso Risotto 

By Justine Chilvers, Tokyo Pony

Ingredients:

1 Cup Risotto Rice 

1 Tbsp Shiro Miso

500ml Vegetable Stock 

Vegan Butter for frying

Shiitake Mushrooms - as many as you like! 

Chopped Parsley 

Vegan Parmesan (optional) 

Method:

I had lots of shiitake mushrooms that needed using up, so I decided to create this creamy comforting risotto. 

Use one rice cooker measuring cup of Japanese sushi rice, wash well and leave to soak for a few hours then use your rice cooker measuring cup to measure out x4 cups of hot water ( around 500ml ) add this to a jug with half a vegetable stock cube and one tablespoon of sweet white miso and dissolve. Add your soaked rice to a rice cooker or pan and add half your stock, put your rice cooker on cook or cook your rice in a pan. 

Slice what ever mushrooms you like a mix of shiitake, maitake and oyster is nice. Melt some vegan butter and sautéed until the mushrooms are cooked. 

When the rice cooker clicks over add the sautéed mushrooms and the remaining stock and put it back on cook. Keep stirring a few times. When it’s done a second time stir in some soy cream and add salt and pepper to taste. Also nice with some chopped parsley and vegan Parmesan. I made my own by pulsing hemp hearts and nutritional yeast. Serve with some nice warm crusty or sourdough bread.
