Ingredients needed 🛒1 servings
- 1 bowl of cooked rice
- 5-6 shrimp
- 2 strips of bacon
- a small amount of green onion
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
- 1 cup store-bought tomato spaghetti sauce
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 10g butter
- 1 slice of cheese
- a small amount of parsley powder
Recipe 🍳
- Add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil and finely chopped green onion to a pan. Infuse over low heat until the scallion oil becomes fragrant and nutty.
- Add 2 strips of salty bacon cut into bite-sized pieces and the prepared shrimp to the scallion oil pan. Stir-fry until golden brown to render the meat fat.
- Once the bacon and shrimp are fully cooked, add 1 bowl of cooked rice. Using a spatula, spread the rice evenly and lightly coat it with the oil, stir-frying briefly.
- Generously pour 1 cup of store-bought tomato spaghetti sauce over the rice. Cook over medium heat, stirring, so the rice absorbs the sauce.
- When the sauce has thickened slightly, add 3 tablespoons of milk, 10g of butter for flavor, and 1 slice of cheese in sequence.
- Stir well over low heat until the cheese and butter are completely melted and the liquid becomes thick and viscous, then turn off the heat.
- Transfer the risotto to a plate, arrange it nicely, and sprinkle parsley powder evenly on top for an Italian-style presentation.
- Stir-fry small-cut bacon and shelled shrimp in scallion oil until fragrant and nutty.
- Add 1 bowl of cooked rice and 1 cup of store-bought tomato spaghetti sauce, then cook while stirring so the sauce is well absorbed.
- Add 3 tablespoons of milk, butter, and cheese; melt them while stirring until a thick risotto consistency is reached, then finish with parsley.
Cooking tips 💡
- When combined in the right proportions with store-bought tomato sauce, milk, cheese, and butter create a creamy, deep flavor that far surpasses cheap rosé sauce from the market, delivering a luxurious taste reminiscent of an Italian restaurant.
- When simmering the rice, if you press and crush the rice grains with a spatula, it will turn into a rice cake or porridge rather than risotto. The key tip for preserving the texture is to use the edge of the spatula to cut through and stir the rice as it cooks.
