Mango Sticky Rice

2 Comments

In Thailand, one of the main desserts you can find is mango sticky rice. Mango sticky rice is sticky rice accompanied with freshly cut mangoes and drizzled with coconut milk. Sometimes the food coloring might be added to the sticky rice to create a variety of different colors of sticky rice and to add more color to the dish. It’s best served when the sticky rice is still hot, but usually, restaurants would serve them cold. Although this may seem like an odd combination, the flavors work well together and create a spectacular taste in your mouth!

Risotto

In Italian restaurants, one of the common things to find is risotto. You might be wondering, what is risotto? Rissoto is an Italian dish made from a particular type of rice called arborio rice. This type of rice is starchy, short-grained, and it can absorb lots of water without becoming soggy and mushy. In addition, it’s also what gives the risotto a creamy texture. When you make risotto, you add the arborio rice in a pot, and you slowly cook it while adding tiny amounts of liquid at a time. You would keep on doing this for about 20 minutes until your risotto is finished. A former chef named Danilo Alfaro recommends people to make their own risotto than ordering it from a restaurant. This is since risotto takes quite a while to make, and you can’t leave it for long because, according to Alfaro, “…the starch will start to congeal, causing it to turn stiff and gluey.” Instead, restaurants would cook it halfway and cook it again when a customer orders it, but it only takes half the time to cook it. However, it doesn’t taste as good as a freshly made risotto. If you have some spare time this weekend, I recommend trying to make risotto for your next meal!

Kimbap

🌶️

One of the Korean dishes that I love is called kimbap. Kimbap is made from rolling vegetables, rice, and seaweed together. The size of the seaweed nori is huge, and the vegetables are long, so this is why kimbap is long, and people cut it into bite-sized pieces. Vegetables often used in kimbap are perilla leaves, carrots, and radishes. Other ingredients often use in kimbap are:

  • beef
  • cheese
  • kimchi
  • pork cutlet
  • ham
  • crab meat
  • kimchi
  • eggs
  • tuna
  • fish eggs

Kimbap tends to be short and round, but there some other types that have different shapes. Kimbap is usually served cold, but it’s still delicious. What do you like to have in your kimbap? Comment on the comment section below!
