Spicy Risotto with lots of vegetables

For 4 servings. Ingredients: 1 onion chopped 2 cloves of garlic, chopped 2 tbsp. grated ginger 2 tbsp. oil 2 dl Arborio rice 1 liter hot chicken broth 1 tbsp. soy sauce 1 tbsp. fish sauce 2 tsp. sambal oelek (Asian chili paste) 2 tbsp. fresh cilantro, chopped 1 lime, cut into wedges Instructions: Heat the oil in your HOT WOK over high heat. Add the onion, garlic, and ginger and fry for about 2 minutes until soft and fragrant. Add the rice and stir well for a minute until the rice is covered in oil. Add the chicken broth a little at a time, stirring until the rice has absorbed the broth before adding more. Continue until the rice is cooked and has a soft consistency but still with a little bite. Add the soy sauce, fish sauce, and sambal oelek and stir well. Let the risotto simmer for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce has thickened. Serve the risotto with freshly chopped cilantro and lime wedges. Notes: You can add other ingredients such as chicken, shrimp, or vegetables for more flavor and variety. Remember to stir the rice regularly throughout the cooking process.
