Special Precautions and Tips:
- Use arborio rice for the best results. Arborio rice is a short-grain rice that has a high starch content, which gives risotto its creamy texture.
- Do not stir the risotto too often. Stirring the risotto too often can release the starch too quickly, making the risotto gluey.
- If the risotto becomes too thick, add a little more vegetable broth.
- If the risotto is not cooked through, add a little more water or vegetable broth and cook for a few more minutes.
- Serve the risotto immediately after it is cooked. Risotto will thicken as it sits, so it is best to eat it fresh.
