Risotto with dashi?

[Kent Wang]

For those unfamiliar, dashi is a Japenese soup stock flavored primarily with bonito flakes.

I love fish stock-flavored risottos and soups made of dashi, so this sounds like it would probably be pretty good.

I believe that Shalmanese has already made a miso risotto, and since miso soup is frequently based on dashi, can't see why it would go wrong.

Good memory . Here is where I detail my Miso Based Risotto of Zucchini, Kangaroo & Orange Zest.

It works really well and it's much easier to make than a stock based risotto.

I just tried it with a strongly flavored dashi, shallots, no cream, some parm. It was great, you can really taste the mild but pervasive smokiness of the bonito.

Shalamenes, what do you mean "miso broth"? Is that dashi with a good amount of miso paste added to it?

[Shalmanese]

Yup, essentially just miso soup added to risotto.

This would be good with some matsutake mushrooms when the season comes around... Ahh, I can't wait for fall!

Just tried this, tasted great. Subtle, just as you described. I also made another batch and folded in some wakame at the end, which tasted fine but perhaps detracted from the creamy nature of the rice.

I think we have a nice Japanese take on risotto going here: miso soup for stock, scallions instead of shallots or onions, and chopped shitake mushrooms.

I do a dashi risotto with rock shrimp and fresh peas. Just a sesame oil and the end and a pat of butter.
