Risotto Ingredients- 1/4 Onion (finely chopped for sautéing)
- 1 Korean chili pepper (or a mild green chili, finely chopped for a hint of spice)
- 1 slice Cheddar cheese (for richness and creaminess)
- 1 piece Neobiani (Korean marinated beef patty – optional, for added meatiness)
- 10g Butter (unsalted, for a savory base)
- 1 bowl Cooked rice (approx. 200g)
Curry Sauce Ingredients- 270ml Milk (whole milk recommended for extra creaminess)
- 2 Tbsp Curry powder (use your favorite brand)
- 270ml Milk (whole milk recommended for extra creaminess)
- 2 Tbsp Curry powder (use your favorite brand)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, finely chop the onion into small pieces, suitable for sautéing. This will build the aromatic base for your risotto. Also, finely chop the Korean chili pepper (after removing seeds if you prefer less heat) to add a gentle kick.
Step 2
If you’re using Neobiani, cut it into bite-sized pieces. This adds a delightful texture and a savory meat flavor to the risotto.
Step 3
Place a saucepan over medium-low heat and melt the 10g of butter. Allow it to melt gently without browning, as this forms the flavorful foundation.
Step 4
Once the butter is melted, add the chopped onions to the pan. Sauté them until they become translucent and begin to turn a light golden-brown color. This caramelization process enhances their natural sweetness and depth of flavor.
Step 5
Pour the 270ml of milk into the pan with the sautéed onions. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, then immediately reduce the heat to low.
Step 6
Now it’s time to add the curry flavor. Sift the 2 Tbsp of curry powder into the milk mixture to ensure a smooth, lump-free sauce. Whisk well with a whisk or spoon to fully incorporate the curry powder.
Step 7
Add the finely chopped chili pepper to the sauce. Let it simmer gently over low heat for about 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully. You’ll start to smell the aromatic curry and chili.
Step 8
Add the bowl of warm cooked rice to the curry sauce. Gently stir and fold the rice into the sauce, ensuring each grain is coated evenly. Be careful not to stir too vigorously, as you want the rice to retain its texture.
Step 9
Finally, lay the slice of cheddar cheese on top of the risotto. Continue to cook over low heat just until the cheese melts and becomes creamy, creating a luxurious finish. Be careful not to overcook and reduce the sauce too much; remove from heat as soon as it becomes wonderfully creamy and just starts to bubble. Your rich and creamy curry risotto is ready to enjoy!
