MISO AND SHIITAKE RISOTTO

3 tablespoons miso
4 cups water
1/2 cup cooking sake or wine
1/2 cup cooking sherry
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon peanut oil
2 red chilies chopped
150 g (5 oz) shiitake mushrooms sliced
2 cups arborio rice
1 tablespoon chopped Vietnamese mint
2 tablespoons chopped chives
steamed bok choy to serve
cracked black pepper

Place miso, water, sake and sherry in a saucepan and allow to simmer slowly. Place oils in a heavy-based saucepan over medium heat. Add chilies and cook for 1 minute. Add shiitake mushrooms and cook for 2 minutes or until mushrooms are soft. Remove mushrooms with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Add rice to pan and cook, stirring, until rice is translucent. Add 1 cup of liquid at a time to rice and stir until liquid is absorbed. Repeat until rice is almost tender. Add shiitake mushrooms, mint and chives.

To serve, place steamed bok choy on a serving plate, top with risotto and sprinkle with pepper.

Serves 4.
