Adam mentioned how scalable risotto is. I once ended up having to serve 14 people so I set up a risotto buffet.

I'm still amateur when it comes to cooking, I got a long way to go. But I must say there are few things as fulfilling as seeing people enjoy your food and actually REMEMBER the dish after a long time.
In south india, its common to put the mustard seeds on the oil first and wait until they start bursting.. its like an indication that the oil is hot.. once mustard seeds start bursting, we then add onion and other spices..
I've brewed my own mead (honey + water + yeast = alcohol), and used this to deglaze sauteed mushrooms, and the taste is unlike anything I've ever had before, and even better, in my opinion, than a whisky deglaze. It's a strange mixture of tempered sweetness and umami from the yeast.
I actually just made your old mushroom risotto and Cream of mushroom soup recipes! I work in a produce department so I have the ability to snag things at a discount when theyre about to go bad and I got about 2 pounds of button mushrooms. I threw those into my pressure cooker for an hour with some carrot/onion/celery/garlic and made a great mushrooms broth I used for both recipes. Idk how it stacks up to the dried shroom broth but its one of the better broths I've made (yes I'm one of those people who saves all my bones and scraps to make broth)
Sounds great! Also sounds like you work in a grocery store, and if you're a person who buys those rotisserie chickens, your pressure cooker is also very handy for making a chicken broth from whatever you don't eat that is roughly 1000x better than anything money can buy. Boil that down and you've got a thick, Jello-like substance (demi-glace) that is practically exploding with flavor. All from a carcass that most people mindlessly throw in the garbage.
If you have an H mart near you I’d strongly recommend their mixed mushroom containers. Comes with a combo of king trumpet, black oyster, and enoki mushrooms all in one container, and if you are only making food for 1-2 people you can use each type as needed and not have bought way too many mushrooms for any particular purpose.

Adam, here's a trick you should know about. I saw a show from Japan where an expert on frozen food was featured as a guest, and he stated that frozen and thawed mushrooms are more umami than fresh mushrooms. I think I taste a difference, but I'm a sample size of one, but this is easy enough where it's not any trouble to try this. What might be happening is the ice crystals that form during freezing rupture the cells, and let more of the umami innards of those cells out. For those bits you trim off of your mushrooms, toss them in a bag, and freeze them. It doesn't matter if they get freezer burn, which is just freeze drying. Then use them in your stock. For your risotto, try freezing your cut mushrooms, then thawing them the next day and using those in your risotto.
Eeee personally I wouldn't want to consume the trimmed ends in any form or fashion, since they might have substrate attached. You're not supposed to eat the substrate, which can be sawdust or other things

Maybe it’s a silly idea, but lately I’ve been powderizing dried shiitakes in the magic bullet and using that directly for mushroom soup or gravies and it’s worked great.
Was getting worried you werent gonna post today, I would love to see an easier homemade (but delicious) pho! Or a video on Bánh xèo! My aunt is vietnamese and i have fallen in love with the cuisine! Love ya adam
Yes! I think something like Phở would be ideal as part a kind of "fancy meal prep" series. The broth is the thing that takes ages, so is worth doing in a big batch and freezing in portions. I think you could easily make a broth that would be usable for Phở, ramen and Western soups: just tweak before use such as including star anise, cloves and ginger in the Phở broth before using (and of course the herbs, beansprouts, etc. in the bowl)
Pho is generally an easy dish to scale down, just make enough broth for 4-5 people and go easy on the aromatics. My mom usually makes pho broth in the instant pot, doesn't come out the best looking but still delicious and doesn't require much work. Also instead of grilling the aromatics on coal or stove, put those in an airfryer.
That looks really good. Did you also consider using nutritional yeast as a parmesan substitute? I've been using it in my cooking recently and found it to be a wonderful addition to the pantry. Apparently it's also vegan (and one of the primary ways for vegans to get B vitamins that are less available from non-animal sources).
You should try 1:4 ratio of nutritional yeast to toasted and ground sunflower seeds. Add salt to taste and it will mimic a parmesan powder pretty well. Not so much a wedge or wheel of cheese though.
He has a whole video about nutritional yeast and how to make it (spoiler: don’t, just buy it). You might want to check that out. Personally I don’t like the smell of nutritional yeast flakes (on top of pasta) too much.
@@SehrSympathischerRochen I’m not a huge fan of the smell it is quite pungent, but I think that does get somewhat muted when you stir it into a risotto
nutritional yeast, just like aged cheese, is high in glutamates (same stuff you get from MSG and what is responsible for umami/savoury taste), that's why it tastes good
Hi please ignore the above two messages, I'm the only scammer you should actually be worried about, please send me all your money thanks :) Bots are out in full force today huh :/ But yeah, I love these videos, even though I don't like mushrooms, I love the presentation of them. He gives lots of good information but never acts like his word is law, he explains why he does things and always says "you can change it if you want, you're the cook". It's inspired me to cook a lot more too!
I was playing minigolf with some new friends recently (while heavily intoxicated) and upon hearing one of them was vegetarian, I immediately thought "I have a recipe for that!" and very excitedly offered to make them mushroom risotto.
I like Kenji's technique of washing the rice with the stock so you capture the starch but can still toast the rice more effectively without damaging it.
That's genius. I wonder if adding it back changes the end result in any undesirable way though. But even if it does, perhaps it's outweighed by the more efficient toasting.
@@GR8APE69 Why would adding it _back_ in make it worse? It was in there, it's now in there again, with the added benefit of better toasted rice; makes sense to me.
@@kindlin Why are you asking me? I don't have the answer. That's why I said "I wonder if..." The reason I ask though is because you're changing the process fundamentally. One leaves the starch in entirely. The other washes it off and then adds it back in little by little, and would still be lacking some of the starch if it didn't require all of the stock. Cooking is a science, so even small changes, even simply the order in which you add ingredients, can change the end result. Now I'm not saying that it would be different, but it does make me curious if it could, and if so, how.
0:49 "I've got some bay leaves-maybe they'll do something, I don't know." The only reason that's uncertain is because you're using dried ones. Fresh bay leaves ABSOLUTELY do something. Dried ones...it depends how old they are.
Was already headed to my local Japanese market later today. Guess I found what I'm making for dinner tomorrow. Also finishing with truffle oil is great, I don't care what it actually is the flavor is fantastic.
Yeah, pretty sure they just spike it with one or more of the prominent aromas (molecules) found in truffles. I agree that it pairs great with risotto or pasta.
Hey Adam, a cool video idea I'd like to see would be trying a simple but garlic heavy dish (like spaghetti aglio e olio) with different kinds of cooked garlic (for example diced, crushed, whole, sliced, browned, roasted and confit) and seeing how the flavours are different! It would be really useful to know the difference between them for when I meal prep and for different dishes :)
The problem with truffle oil is that it's often used by bad restaurants to make cheap dishes much more expensive thqn they should be by emphasising the "truffle" part
Hey Adam, a video i'd be interested in seeing is one similar to your dough one, but with mashed potatoes. Just looking at how much, if any, milk, cream, eggs, butter... to add and what it does to the mashed potatoes. Cheers
WHY do people act like bay leaves “don’t do anything?” They have an extremely noticeable flavor that stands out any time they’re used in a dish. It’s like randomly throwing a bunch of thyme into dishes and saying “maybe this will do something.” Of course it will do something. It’s an extremely flavorful herb.
I also thought bay leaves were kind of a waste until I forgot and left it out of she crab soup by accident. It was so noticeable that something was missing.
I always thought that they were some obligate ingredient, but really didn't do anything. Then, I made a batch of pickled eggs (a holiday staple in my family) and decided to throw a few into the brine. At first, I was delighted. They were better than usual, in a way I couldn't place. Unfortunately, after marinating for about two weeks, they turned bad. I realized that they'd gotten too much bay leaf, and I understood what a powerful flavour it is for the first time. It took over everything. I now know and respect how powerful the bayleaf is
I've made this same dish over a year ago and loved it! So glad you randomly came out with a video on it. It makes me feel like a actually made something cool.
just want to acknowledge that your quality of content and scope of focus has improved and narrowed, respectively. Good on ya. you are some of the best food content on youtube!
Hey Adam, thanks for your video tutorial. It was great! We're not vegan either but always welcome any plant-based dish as part of our home-dining repertoire. I love a good mushroom risotto but sometimes don't make it as a combination with meat dishes as the richness of the cheese and butter are too much. So this version sounds great! Thanks again.
If you look for 100% extra virgin olive oil, those generally have a darker richer color. I was buying an olive oil that was yellow, thinking it was extra virgin. But the fine print labeled it as a mixture.
When buying fresh mushrooms, there might actually be your local producer. They are always so nice imo but keep the substrate off the mushrooms and the extra mycelium and you can grow some more of your own just as easily! Needs water and more substrate, look up growing substrate and temperature to get the imporant parts and they could even enhance your or your local garden, check compatibility with other plants
We made this and LOVED it. I was shocked you did not use the re-hydrated mushroom. I used mine by mincing them and adding in at the end. They were wonderful and not chewy.
Some information on the "vegan sour cream" would be nice as there are lots of strange mixtures marketed to vegans. It would be interesting to know what exactly makes it work in this recipe -- e.g. could you make a preparation with soy yogurt (in the sense of fermented soy milk), a lipid, and an emulsifier?
olive oil thats pressed only once in cold temperature has that color, but in general i would say its not as good for cooking (you lose a lot of the aroma when you cook it). in my opinion this type of olive oil is better for creaming the risotto or pasta at the end when its just warm, and gives an incredible flavour to the food
I used mushroom stock I got from a friend and added butter and cheese instead of vegan sour cream (which I didn't have on hand) and I gotta say! what a fantastic way for me to use mushrooms I got from the farmer's market! Marinating the big mushrooms yields such a delicious flavor, and without making the stock from scratch, this recipe took me about an hour and a half to make. It's flexible enough that this recipe could have a lot of ingredients or very few, and it's intuitive enough that I'm confident that I could make this again without having to look up the video the next time. So glad I found this!
I absolutely love foods that have mushrooms in them, here in finland autumn is a mushroom season and i love picking all kinds of mushrooms, since i was a kid, ive gone mushroom hunting during the autumn, i also taught my dad and step mom the art of picking edible mushrooms
You know what you can also do? A parmigiana - not the Italian-American one with chicken, the original one, with eggplant, would be neat seeing a video on that, especially since eggplant isn't really considered all that much in North America.
@@Zestric Why? It's eggplants, fried, layered and baked. There is absolutely no trace of meat in parmigiana. You don't need cheese, and if you want, you can use alternative stuff.
@@Zestric Actually, it's not very clear where the name comes from, since the dish and the cheese come from different parts of Italy. It's thought by some to share the same origins as the parma, a small, round shield. But even then, as Adam proved here, vegan sour cream can provide the texture and creaminess of butter and cheese.
When it comes to risotto, plan on a 6:1 liquid to rice ratio. The consistency you want at the end is something you can set on a plate and it will slowly self level.
I've seen a ramen recipe where the rehydrated mushrooms are blended into the stock. It led to a thick and wonderful texture! Also your olive oil is so green! Looks tasty 😆
Yes, that's called a dashi. They also like to add Kombu and dried fish to make a super umami broth. It's then used for either the Tare (the salty sauce) or mixed in with the broth.
Adam, Great channel and tons of amazing videos. Best line in this video, "I've got some bay leaves. Maybe they'll do something. I don't know..." I think the exact same thing every single time I use bay leaves... Keep up the great work.
thank you Adam for including more vegetarian/vegan recipes in your videos also, i didn't know until today that wine makers also used animal proteins in their wine processing; i'd heard of _isinglass_ in beer, but i thought that wine was just fermented grape juice... gotta be careful the next time i buy a bottle of wine
Thank you for this recipe. I'm lactose intolerant and honestly the vegans are the main reason I'm able to eat those every day recipes without pain now (even basic things like cookies that take milk powder or butter would give me discomfort) because it feels like no one else in the food industry gives a damn to people with dietary restrictions or food intolerances. I feel terribly sorry for people with extreme allergies, because I really don't know how they get to eat safely with the highly processed stuff you find on your usual grocery store unless you spend more to get organics or grow and bake your own things...
Already made the simpler version twice and was very happy with it. Looking forward to giving this a shot! Also, as a vegetarian (and soon to be vegan) I really appreciate that you make recipes I can eat.
Since we're going requests! (Seriously this was such a cool recipe!). I'm an IBS sufferer, are there any recipes you'd recommend that are FODMAP friendly? Thanks!
I also follow a low fodmap diet, and the mushrooms in this recipe are safe! :) if you don't put the garlic in the final dish, that is also safe. So I think this whole recipe is good!
@@Emmer_ Yeah that's what I was thinking! Or a Garlic replacement (garlic infused olive oil, or you can get special powder now that's a replacer, very cool!) Would definitely like to try this one out! He just mentioned this was a vegan viewer's request so thought I might put my own in haha :)

I’d try this and everything about it sounds great but I’d skip finishing with truffle oil. It’s not turning my nose up at it bc it’s not real truffles, it’s just that the taste gets overpowering after a couple bites and ruins what it’s on. Truffle oil only takes the main compounds of what gives truffles their flavor so it doesn’t have the same complexity, it’s just overbearing. It’s the equivalent of taking a fancy French dessert that you worked hard on and using fake vanilla in it. I think the flavor of the mushrooms would be good as is. Why mask the flavor you just worked so hard to cultivate?
Here in the Willamette Valley in Oregon, we can get Truffle oil made from locally sourced white truffles and locally pressed olive oil. Also several very good Oriental markets for those mushooms.
Very nice. I'll have to try that mushroom sear. I make something similar but I add a little frozen peas, rainbow carrots and creamy port salut and less mild gruyere cheeses, and ramps if I can find them in season. It's my sort of nod to Spring when it arrives.
Thanks for the amazing recipe! Just one tiny nitpick, truffles are often not considered vegan as they require animal labor to be produced/found. If as you say the truffle oil you use does not contain any truffles, crisis avoided!
The Italians would burn me as a heretic for this, but recently I have discovered whole grain barley risotto. I planed to make some pasta, but forgot to buy it. I bought some barley after your videos on whole grain carbs, and decided to wing it. As I combined the (pasta) mushroom sauce and the barley, it turned super creamy and I realized what I had wrought. I quickly adjusted the seasoning and it came out brilliantly. Also, some nutritional yeast help with the lack of cheesiness.

What my family use rehydrated mushroom for stock is usually something cooked in a pressure cooker, like braised meat, because the mushroom will become super soft again.

I made roughly this tonight it was great! I roughly chopped the dried shiitakes and added them in, used baby trumpets and sherry for booze. Oh and Parmesan cheese
i really dislike mushrooms, but mushroom stock is pretty good. ive made it a couple times since seeing it on your channel instead of buying beef/chicken broth from some dishes ive made. actual mushrooms tho....ugh. ive never found one ive enjoyed eating. they are always either slimy or sort of tough or spongy. other than stock the best ive found is dicing them up really fine and using in stews or similar. many people have been like oh, try this one it has a texture like meat! no, no it doesnt. granted, ive never had them at a fancy restaurant, so maybe myself and others ive dined with are just cooking them incorrectly (for my preferences)
One time I was at an hibachi place and I asked the chef for “no mushrooms please”, the hibachi chef then looked me dead in the eye and said “You must eat mushrooms. They make your pee-pee hard!”. I looked at my friends who were at the table as well said “Well. Now, how the hell can you argue with you that?”
hey adam for shiitake try to soak them with cool water overnight and cook em with low heat (best with slow cooker) to extract the fragrant (i don't know about the porcini though, but i think it worth to try)
I made this for my vegan friend snd they got offended. Apparently they came to dinner at my place so they could stop pretending to be vegan to impress that pale chick in their humanities seminar class.

Pho is generally an easy dish to scale down, just make enough broth for 4-5 people and go easy on the aromatics. My mom usually makes pho broth in the instant pot, doesn't come out the best looking but still delicious and doesn't require much work. Also instead of grilling the aromatics on coal or stove, put those in an airfryer.
That looks really good. Did you also consider using nutritional yeast as a parmesan substitute? I've been using it in my cooking recently and found it to be a wonderful addition to the pantry. Apparently it's also vegan (and one of the primary ways for vegans to get B vitamins that are less available from non-animal sources).
You should try 1:4 ratio of nutritional yeast to toasted and ground sunflower seeds. Add salt to taste and it will mimic a parmesan powder pretty well. Not so much a wedge or wheel of cheese though.
He has a whole video about nutritional yeast and how to make it (spoiler: don’t, just buy it). You might want to check that out.
Personally I don’t like the smell of nutritional yeast flakes (on top of pasta) too much.
@@SehrSympathischerRochen I’m not a huge fan of the smell it is quite pungent, but I think that does get somewhat muted when you stir it into a risotto
nutritional yeast, just like aged cheese, is high in glutamates (same stuff you get from MSG and what is responsible for umami/savoury taste), that's why it tastes good
Yeast and yeast extracts are an amazing source of B vitamins for vegetarians and vegans 👍
It's so wholesome to see Adam's family in the background of random shots. One of the most down-to-earth content creators
Ah yes my biweekly dose of Adam's refreshingly honest content.
Hi please ignore the above two messages, I'm the only scammer you should actually be worried about, please send me all your money thanks :)
Bots are out in full force today huh :/
But yeah, I love these videos, even though I don't like mushrooms, I love the presentation of them. He gives lots of good information but never acts like his word is law, he explains why he does things and always says "you can change it if you want, you're the cook". It's inspired me to cook a lot more too!
Jesus youtube has a serious bot problem
@@coryman125 , don’t ignore, Report!
I was playing minigolf with some new friends recently (while heavily intoxicated) and upon hearing one of them was vegetarian, I immediately thought "I have a recipe for that!" and very excitedly offered to make them mushroom risotto.
I like Kenji's technique of washing the rice with the stock so you capture the starch but can still toast the rice more effectively without damaging it.
Oh that's a good idea! Kenji is so innovative!
That's genius. I wonder if adding it back changes the end result in any undesirable way though. But even if it does, perhaps it's outweighed by the more efficient toasting.
@@GR8APE69 Why would adding it _back_ in make it worse? It was in there, it's now in there again, with the added benefit of better toasted rice; makes sense to me.
@@kindlin Why are you asking me? I don't have the answer. That's why I said "I wonder if..." The reason I ask though is because you're changing the process fundamentally. One leaves the starch in entirely. The other washes it off and then adds it back in little by little, and would still be lacking some of the starch if it didn't require all of the stock. Cooking is a science, so even small changes, even simply the order in which you add ingredients, can change the end result. Now I'm not saying that it would be different, but it does make me curious if it could, and if so, how.
@@GR8APE69 the risotto section in the book "The Food Lab" where this discussed is several pages. It's worth reading.
0:49 "I've got some bay leaves-maybe they'll do something, I don't know." The only reason that's uncertain is because you're using dried ones. Fresh bay leaves ABSOLUTELY do something. Dried ones...it depends how old they are.
I like that you give everyone options to vary the recipe to suit their liking :D
Haven’t made risotto in a while, next time I’ll try it like this 😍
Was already headed to my local Japanese market later today. Guess I found what I'm making for dinner tomorrow. Also finishing with truffle oil is great, I don't care what it actually is the flavor is fantastic.
Yeah, pretty sure they just spike it with one or more of the prominent aromas (molecules) found in truffles. I agree that it pairs great with risotto or pasta.
Hey Adam, a cool video idea I'd like to see would be trying a simple but garlic heavy dish (like spaghetti aglio e olio) with different kinds of cooked garlic (for example diced, crushed, whole, sliced, browned, roasted and confit) and seeing how the flavours are different! It would be really useful to know the difference between them for when I meal prep and for different dishes :)
There's a video on his channel 'Fresh garlic vs prepared garlic, can you tell the difference' that looked at this and the factors that affect flavour
I've noticed a trend on this channel toward less meat. I really appreciate it. 👍🏻
The problem with truffle oil is that it's often used by bad restaurants to make cheap dishes much more expensive thqn they should be by emphasising the "truffle" part
That is the best looking and most doable risotto I've ever seen.
That is an exceptionally green olive oil. I bet it tastes amazing !
Hey Adam, a video i'd be interested in seeing is one similar to your dough one, but with mashed potatoes. Just looking at how much, if any, milk, cream, eggs, butter... to add and what it does to the mashed potatoes. Cheers
WHY do people act like bay leaves “don’t do anything?” They have an extremely noticeable flavor that stands out any time they’re used in a dish. It’s like randomly throwing a bunch of thyme into dishes and saying “maybe this will do something.” Of course it will do something. It’s an extremely flavorful herb.
I also thought bay leaves were kind of a waste until I forgot and left it out of she crab soup by accident. It was so noticeable that something was missing.
My only guess is the bay leaves they get in the US are tasteless. Usually it's so strong it's overpowering
I always thought that they were some obligate ingredient, but really didn't do anything. Then, I made a batch of pickled eggs (a holiday staple in my family) and decided to throw a few into the brine. At first, I was delighted. They were better than usual, in a way I couldn't place. Unfortunately, after marinating for about two weeks, they turned bad. I realized that they'd gotten too much bay leaf, and I understood what a powerful flavour it is for the first time. It took over everything. I now know and respect how powerful the bayleaf is
Adam, I made this tonight paired with cooked peas and an arugula salad. According to my wife, the meal scored a 20 out of 10. Thanks for the recipe!
Lauren's out of town, isn't she?
Adam, you naughty boy.
I've made this same dish over a year ago and loved it! So glad you randomly came out with a video on it. It makes me feel like a actually made something cool.
the original risotto is my go to and i adore it, so i imagine going the extra mile for this version would actually kill me from how good it is.
just want to acknowledge that your quality of content and scope of focus has improved and narrowed, respectively. Good on ya. you are some of the best food content on youtube!
When I was a vegetarian, I sure ate a lot of risotto...But this one does look head and shoulder above the normal opt-in "vegan option"
this was my favorite recipe youve ever done and im so happy you revamped it
Adam, you have an amazing mind for food. I would love to see your intelligence tackle vegan foods like this one more often!
Hey Adam, thanks for your video tutorial. It was great! We're not vegan either but always welcome any plant-based dish as part of our home-dining repertoire. I love a good mushroom risotto but sometimes don't make it as a combination with meat dishes as the richness of the cheese and butter are too much. So this version sounds great! Thanks again.
Hey Adam, why is your olive oil such a vibrant green/ yellow colour? I love it, it looks awesome! I've just never seen anything like that before
If you look for 100% extra virgin olive oil, those generally have a darker richer color.
I was buying an olive oil that was yellow, thinking it was extra virgin. But the fine print labeled it as a mixture.
When buying fresh mushrooms, there might actually be your local producer. They are always so nice imo but keep the substrate off the mushrooms and the extra mycelium and you can grow some more of your own just as easily! Needs water and more substrate, look up growing substrate and temperature to get the imporant parts and they could even enhance your or your local garden, check compatibility with other plants
We made this and LOVED it.
I was shocked you did not use the re-hydrated mushroom. I used mine by mincing them and adding in at the end. They were wonderful and not chewy.
Some information on the "vegan sour cream" would be nice as there are lots of strange mixtures marketed to vegans. It would be interesting to know what exactly makes it work in this recipe -- e.g. could you make a preparation with soy yogurt (in the sense of fermented soy milk), a lipid, and an emulsifier?
That green oil looks so vibrant in this video, I don't know if you changed something with your lighting but it's really cool
olive oil thats pressed only once in cold temperature has that color, but in general i would say its not as good for cooking (you lose a lot of the aroma when you cook it). in my opinion this type of olive oil is better for creaming the risotto or pasta at the end when its just warm, and gives an incredible flavour to the food
This looks so good. I love mushroom risotto, any kind. Yours looks very appetising.
agreed
Complex, rich, clever. One of your finest videos
I really enjoy your vegetarian & vegan content!
I used mushroom stock I got from a friend and added butter and cheese instead of vegan sour cream (which I didn't have on hand) and I gotta say! what a fantastic way for me to use mushrooms I got from the farmer's market! Marinating the big mushrooms yields such a delicious flavor, and without making the stock from scratch, this recipe took me about an hour and a half to make. It's flexible enough that this recipe could have a lot of ingredients or very few, and it's intuitive enough that I'm confident that I could make this again without having to look up the video the next time. So glad I found this!
This recipe comes just in time for a party I'm having soon, thanks!
I absolutely love foods that have mushrooms in them, here in finland autumn is a mushroom season and i love picking all kinds of mushrooms, since i was a kid, ive gone mushroom hunting during the autumn, i also taught my dad and step mom the art of picking edible mushrooms
You know what you can also do? A parmigiana - not the Italian-American one with chicken, the original one, with eggplant, would be neat seeing a video on that, especially since eggplant isn't really considered all that much in North America.
Wouldn't be very vegan though would it?
@@Zestric Why? It's eggplants, fried, layered and baked. There is absolutely no trace of meat in parmigiana. You don't need cheese, and if you want, you can use alternative stuff.
@@AlexTenThousand I was talking about the Parmesan yes.
That's kinda what it gets the name from no?
@@Zestric Actually, it's not very clear where the name comes from, since the dish and the cheese come from different parts of Italy. It's thought by some to share the same origins as the parma, a small, round shield.
But even then, as Adam proved here, vegan sour cream can provide the texture and creaminess of butter and cheese.
When it comes to risotto, plan on a 6:1 liquid to rice ratio. The consistency you want at the end is something you can set on a plate and it will slowly self level.
I've seen a ramen recipe where the rehydrated mushrooms are blended into the stock. It led to a thick and wonderful texture!
Also your olive oil is so green! Looks tasty 😆
Yes, that's called a dashi.
They also like to add Kombu and dried fish to make a super umami broth.
It's then used for either the Tare (the salty sauce) or mixed in with the broth.
Adam, Great channel and tons of amazing videos. Best line in this video, "I've got some bay leaves. Maybe they'll do something. I don't know..."
I think the exact same thing every single time I use bay leaves...
Keep up the great work.
thank you Adam for including more vegetarian/vegan recipes in your videos
also, i didn't know until today that wine makers also used animal proteins in their wine processing; i'd heard of _isinglass_ in beer, but i thought that wine was just fermented grape juice... gotta be careful the next time i buy a bottle of wine
Man Adam, I absolutely love your videos. You are a Godsend!
Thank you for this recipe.
I'm lactose intolerant and honestly the vegans are the main reason I'm able to eat those every day recipes without pain now (even basic things like cookies that take milk powder or butter would give me discomfort) because it feels like no one else in the food industry gives a damn to people with dietary restrictions or food intolerances. I feel terribly sorry for people with extreme allergies, because I really don't know how they get to eat safely with the highly processed stuff you find on your usual grocery store unless you spend more to get organics or grow and bake your own things...
Thanks for the vegan dish. I've been following you for quite a while as a long time vegan and I'd love to see more.
Already made the simpler version twice and was very happy with it. Looking forward to giving this a shot!
Also, as a vegetarian (and soon to be vegan) I really appreciate that you make recipes I can eat.
Nice to see stuff mentioned in the pods, It makes you feel more connected to the audience :D
Since we're going requests! (Seriously this was such a cool recipe!). I'm an IBS sufferer, are there any recipes you'd recommend that are FODMAP friendly? Thanks!
I also follow a low fodmap diet, and the mushrooms in this recipe are safe! :) if you don't put the garlic in the final dish, that is also safe. So I think this whole recipe is good!
@@Emmer_ Yeah that's what I was thinking! Or a Garlic replacement (garlic infused olive oil, or you can get special powder now that's a replacer, very cool!)
Would definitely like to try this one out! He just mentioned this was a vegan viewer's request so thought I might put my own in haha :)
@@Emmer_ Keep in mind that shallots are high in fodmaps too! I’d sub green onions for those and then you’re good
Oops you are all right. I substitute all unions with green ones all the time, it didn't occur to me... Thanks for not roasting me haha
You should come to the risotto festival in Verona, one of the largest food festivals in the world

One might add that most kosher wines are vegan.

Thanks for the recipe. I added kombu with the mushroom based stock and woodear.
I’d try this and everything about it sounds great but I’d skip finishing with truffle oil. It’s not turning my nose up at it bc it’s not real truffles, it’s just that the taste gets overpowering after a couple bites and ruins what it’s on. Truffle oil only takes the main compounds of what gives truffles their flavor so it doesn’t have the same complexity, it’s just overbearing. It’s the equivalent of taking a fancy French dessert that you worked hard on and using fake vanilla in it. I think the flavor of the mushrooms would be good as is. Why mask the flavor you just worked so hard to cultivate?
1:40 there is an indicator for the woody roots on the bottom of the mushroom btw, you can see it in your video aswell.
This looks amazing!! Yes to more vegan recipes!!
Here in the Willamette Valley in Oregon, we can get Truffle oil made from locally sourced white truffles and locally pressed olive oil. Also several very good Oriental markets for those mushooms.
thank you adam. As someone who usually avoids animal foods for the environment and so on this is very welcome
Very nice. I'll have to try that mushroom sear. I make something similar but I add a little frozen peas, rainbow carrots and creamy port salut and less mild gruyere cheeses, and ramps if I can find them in season. It's my sort of nod to Spring when it arrives.
I'll refer to store online i bough mine from****
They're on Instagram or Telegram as¿‽¿**

Thanks for the amazing recipe!
Just one tiny nitpick, truffles are often not considered vegan as they require animal labor to be produced/found. If as you say the truffle oil you use does not contain any truffles, crisis avoided!
I only use it with liberty cap stock. Tastes out of this world I feel like I can see magic colors after eating, idk why
The Italians would burn me as a heretic for this, but recently I have discovered whole grain barley risotto. I planed to make some pasta, but forgot to buy it. I bought some barley after your videos on whole grain carbs, and decided to wing it. As I combined the (pasta) mushroom sauce and the barley, it turned super creamy and I realized what I had wrought. I quickly adjusted the seasoning and it came out brilliantly.
Also, some nutritional yeast help with the lack of cheesiness.
please guys dont do that
They make this in Italy. It's really ancient, like goes back to Roman days.

I don't hate on people for doing ads, but bigger, more influential TH-camrs like you have the ability - and I would argue the responsibility - to be more selective. Fetch, like similar apps, is essentially a data miner. It stores and sells all of the purchase information you scan, and can even access people's EMAILS to find and sell receipts they didn't scan. That's a terrible business model, and the information they store could be used for some really nefarious purpose in the wrong hands. Ok rant over.
Dude you're on TH-cam. Owned by Google. Have you seen their business model/practices?
they only scan gmail because gmail allows it and gmail ALREADY scans and sells your emails. this complaint is nonsense. also, unlike a corporation selling all your data, the difference is that you get to selectively sell your data, its consensual and you get to profit.
this is basically privacy fearmongering

Something I love to do with mushroom risotto is to, at the very end, stir in some very very thinly sliced cremini mushrooms they wilt in the hot risotto and you get some of thosefresh mushroom forest aromas troughout the risotto.
Hey Adam! you should make a make a recipe with halloumi, a seriously underrated cheese and great meat substitute for burgers etc.
I agree! There's a rather similar Dominican cheese called "Queso de freír" that's very similar, too.

Been really loving the vegan recipes!
bay leaf is always a good addition. it's like salt - bay just makes everything better.
I made roughly this tonight it was great! I roughly chopped the dried shiitakes and added them in, used baby trumpets and sherry for booze. Oh and Parmesan cheese
I wonder how vegans are okay with mushrooms🤔 being fungi (closer to mammals than plants) but they are delicious 🤷♂️
Mushrooms show no indication of conciousness/pain, animals do
I think you mean closer to animals than plants.

extra virgin
i really dislike mushrooms, but mushroom stock is pretty good. ive made it a couple times since seeing it on your channel instead of buying beef/chicken broth from some dishes ive made.
actual mushrooms tho....ugh. ive never found one ive enjoyed eating. they are always either slimy or sort of tough or spongy. other than stock the best ive found is dicing them up really fine and using in stews or similar. many people have been like oh, try this one it has a texture like meat! no, no it doesnt. granted, ive never had them at a fancy restaurant, so maybe myself and others ive dined with are just cooking them incorrectly (for my preferences)
If someone presented me with this, I would eat it. I would not, however, go to all the trouble of making it.
Almost to the 2 mill mark Adam! Congrats!!
You always know to have a place for vegans viewers
Dried Mushrooms , Shrimp and Scallops have such a deep flavor in soups and stocks.
One time I was at an hibachi place and I asked the chef for “no mushrooms please”, the hibachi chef then looked me dead in the eye and said “You must eat mushrooms. They make your pee-pee hard!”. I looked at my friends who were at the table as well said “Well. Now, how the hell can you argue with you that?”
I can argue by sayin id rather someone yeet it off me if given the choice
hey adam
for shiitake try to soak them with cool water overnight
and cook em with low heat (best with slow cooker) to extract the fragrant (i don't know about the porcini though, but i think it worth to try)
I made this for my vegan friend snd they got offended. Apparently they came to dinner at my place so they could stop pretending to be vegan to impress that pale chick in their humanities seminar class.
Cringe. You arent funny.
That's an incredible amount of dry porcini for that little stock. I usually use 1/10th of that
Very happy that you mentioned the wine finings not being vegan most of the time. important for people cooking for vegans to be aware of.
Ok i will continue to request You look into making Curries from different cultures. For example Trinidadian style curry or Jamaican
