General News By Emily Carter 0 views

Xiao Wu finally got a day off, so we must have a hole in our heads. Today we went to Carrefour to stock up, and it seemed like half of Taipei was there shopping. After fighting our way out, we stopped by to pick up A-Pang's prescription food, and only then went home to cook.

Risotto with pesto, wild mushrooms and seasonal vegetables. Please prepare the

ingredients: white rice for four, three stalks of celery, half a box of peas, ten button mushrooms, white king oyster mushrooms (pleurotus nebrodensis) as you like, one onion, homemade pesto (don't ask me how to make pesto), 100 ml of fresh cream, grated cheese powder, three cloves of garlic, and salt -- who doesn't have salt at home.

First, A-Pang and Tom have to leave the kitchen, like today when Tom rolled out. So for the next few steps I am just telling a story from the pictures, and I take no responsibility for the text.

After aromatic-frying what you see above, add the white rice and stir-fry. At our home we use olive oil for the aromatic frying. Why four servings? A-Pang and A-Niu cannot eat it anyway, because stewing for two and stewing for four means the same thing.

At the same time, blanch the green vegetables you love. I hate celery. (Xiao Wu adds that there are actually more suitable vegetables such as cucumber and green peas, but because these have been sitting in the fridge too long, they need to be cleared out.)

The rice is still simmering covered. Should it be stewed three times or four? It depends on how cooked the rice is. Be careful, because some grains are cooked on the outside but raw inside -- you only know after biting into one.

Scoop out the greens and chill them in ice water to keep them bright green. So Tom must remember to make ice first, or he will get scolded.

On the last stewing round, add three tablespoons of homemade pesto, and add salt as you see fit.

Before taking it off the heat, add the vegetables and the fresh cream sauce. The whole process of stewing raw rice into a cooked meal takes about twenty-five to thirty minutes.

Finally, plate it up and serve, but our Thai basil turned black and blue. Add grated cheese powder as you like (pepper too). And after eating, if you think it is delicious, you must say so out loud.

That is all. If you think it is too much trouble, there are still two servings in my fridge. (Adding shredded cheese and baking it au gratin makes it even better.)
