yeah... coz the bloody arts central fellas got an angmoh "chef" to do something which is like the local cuisine..
2 sri lankan crabs turned into 6 small little shotglasses of some chillied nonsensical crab shots...
chicken rice balls got turned into breadcrumbed fried risotto with chicken terrine..
a lot of work to reduce yummy local food into miniscule portions...
this time, he turned one HUGE chicken into a few medallions of "terrine" -
you can look for those short grain rice in places like Yaohan, those japanese types ...Originally posted by Wanda:I cannot find short-grain rice leh...want to make risotto....the recipe calls for arborio rice which we dun have here. My friend say can substitute with short grain rice.
Basmati rice is a long grain rice ... not for risotto ... but would be perfect for a paella though ... -
It's poisonous...only reputable trained chefs know how to prepare correctly. ...that's what I saw on tv.Originally posted by Fatum:That is on my to-try list ...

I was told my my japanese friend that there are non-poisonous types that you can buy to eat fried like those nasi lemak fish ...Originally posted by Wanda:It's poisonous...only reputable trained chefs know how to prepare correctly. ...that's what I saw on tv.

for short grained rice, if you don't want the rice to stick, add a bit of oil into the rice cooker, and add slightly less water also ...Originally posted by sbst275:You want the cooked rice to be sticky? -

If you dun want it to be sticky, you cannot use Calrose rice, they are quite sticky.. That's why you can use it as subsitude for Jap rice to make Sushi...Originally posted by Wanda:Well, the recipe book always say risotto have the 'creamy' texture...whatever that means?
