More importantly, ramen reflects the way Americans tend to treat their food: They don’t take enough care in the process. I know it sounds ridiculous - you just pour water into a bowl, what’s the point of changing anything? How could there be a difference in taste? Well, even pouring water has science behind it, and can make a huge difference in taste. I grew up eating ramen as one of my favorite foods, and I think it could taste much better if we put more consideration into how we cook it. It’s also seemingly easy to make: You boil the water, drop in the noodle patty, then the flavor packet. I know it’s cheap - $1.75 per pack on Amazon and in stores - and oftentimes it comes with a plastic bowl. It will continue to cook as it sits even when it's off the heat, so be prepared to dish it up right away.We need to rethink the way we treat our ramen. Serve immediately: Risotto waits for no one.
Add just a touch more broth if needed before stirring in the butter and Parmesan cheese.
It should not be as dry as steamed rice, but should have enough liquid to make it loose. The perfect texture: Risotto is done when the rice is al dente: firm but not crunchy when you bite into it.Low and slow: Keep the broth hot and the risotto at a low simmer throughout.Add another half cup of broth and repeat. Stir after each half cup of broth you add to make sure the broth is distributed evenly, then stir again every 30 seconds or so until almost all the broth is absorbed. That's what helps release the starch from the grains of rice to make that creamy texture you want. Stir, stir, stir: Yes, you stir risotto as it simmers.Toast the rice: An essential step to making risotto is to toast the grains in hot oil until they start to turn translucent around the edges.Measure out a little more into the broth pot than the recipe says to make up for evaporation as it sits. Hot broth: Keep the broth hot the whole way through.If you don't have chives, fresh parsley is a good substitute. Chives: Chives cut through the richness and add visual appeal, too.Don't shortchange the flavor of your risotto by using anything other than freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Parmesan cheese: You've come this far.Butter: A generous amount of butter at the end adds more creamy texture and rich flavor.
If you don't want to use wine, just start with the broth. Go for a crisp, dry white wine like pinot grigio or sauvignon blanc. Wine: The first liquid you add to the pan after you sauté the rice is a half cup of white wine - it will absorb into every grain and create an essential layer of flavor.No other rice will give you the same results. Rice: To get that signature creamy risotto texture, you must use a particular type of short-grain, high-starch rice like Arborio, Carnaroli, or Vialone Nano that releases its starch as you cook and stir.Shallots: If you don't have shallots, you can substitute finely chopped yellow onion.Mushrooms: This recipe uses a combination of portobello and white mushrooms.
You won't be cooking at high heat, so it's okay to use extra virgin olive oil.
