Simple homemade rice risotto (Risoto de arroz caseiro simples)

Ingredients

1 bunch of chopped green onions or parsley
200 g shredded chicken
Salt to taste
1.5 liters boiling water
1 can of peas (drained)
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 cups of rice
1 beef bouillon cube
1 can of sweet corn (drained)
200 g grated cheese
20 ml soybean oil

Where to find ingredients

You can find these staples at any local public market (palengke) or supermarket. For the grated cheese, local dairy sections or standard processed cheese blocks are commonly used substitutes if a specific aged cheese is unavailable.

Preparation method

  1. In a large pot, add the oil, crushed garlic, and the beef bouillon cube.
  2. Sauté the garlic and bouillon in the oil over medium heat until fragrant.
  3. Add the rice to the pot and sauté for about 2 minutes, stirring well so the grains are coated in the seasoning.
  4. Pour the boiling water into the pot and season with salt to taste.
  5. Stir everything together.
  6. Cover the pot and cook over medium heat until the rice has absorbed almost all the water and begins to dry out.
  7. Once the water is almost dry, reduce the heat to the lowest setting.
  8. Add the sweet corn and peas (both drained) and the shredded chicken to the pot.
  9. Mix gently to incorporate the ingredients into the rice.
  10. Add a little more boiling water if the rice is still hard or the mixture looks too dry.
  11. Cook over low heat with the pot partially covered until the rice is tender.
  12. When the risotto is ready and has the desired consistency, turn off the heat.
  13. Sprinkle the grated cheese and the chopped green onions or parsley on top before serving.
