1/4 Cup Olive Oil, divided
16oz Shiitake Mushrooms, stemmed and sliced
4 Green Onions, finely chopped, divided
2 Tsp Finely Grated Ginger
2 Garlic Cloves, minced
1 1/2 Cups Arborio Rice
1/2 Cup Dry White Wine
4-6 Cups Low-sodium Chicken Broth, heated and kept warm, divided
1/2 Cup Grated Parmesan Cheese, plus more for serving
1 Sheet Nori, cut into thin strips
2 Thai Red Chilies, thinly sliced

Instructions


  • 1

    In a large straight-sided skillet over high heat, heat 1 tbsp of oil. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden-brown, about 5-8 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

  • 2

    Reduce heat to medium-high and heat 1 tbsp oil. Add 2 green onions and ginger and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the rice and cook, stirring constantly, until translucent, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in the wine and cook until fully absorbed.

  • 3

    Stir in 2 cups of the broth. Simmer on medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until liquid is completely absorbed, about 3-5 minutes. Ladle in 2 cups of the broth at a time and cook, stirring often, until absorbed. Repeat with remaining broth. Add more broth, as needed, until rice is fully cooked, about 12-15 minutes.

  • 4

    Stir in the cooked mushrooms, Parmesan and more broth, if needed, to adjust the consistency to resemble slow-moving lava. Season with salt and pepper.

  • 5

    Approximately 5 minutes before the risotto is finished cooking, heat a separate skillet over medium heat. Add remaining oil. Cook Kevin's Natural Foods Orange Chicken according to stove top directions.

  • 6

    Top the risotto with chicken and garnish with the remaining green onions, nori, additional Parmesan and chilies.
