Carrot and Ginger risotto!!

I am a risotto queen! I live risotto so much I try to make them in different ways! Last night I made this Asian inspired risotto!

I used...
1.olive oil in the pan
2.I put in onions, red peppers and scallions in the pan and cooked down
3. I put thai rice in the pan ant toasted them for about 2 minutes
4. Instead of using traditional wine, I added a couple of tablespoons of soy sauce to give the cooking kick to the rice.
5. Then I added a cup of stock and let it cook down
6. When the stock was almost all gone, I put in a cup of carrot and Ginger soup and cooked until rice was cooked
7. Enjoy!!!

I love it cuz it is light and taste like take out :) yum! It's def a keeper!

Just a word of advice.. Be creative in the kitchen! The more you test and experiment the more you will be able to cook and enjoy cooking! You will know what works and what doesn't! I will be honest, I was a horrible cook until I was forced to cook for myself. A lot of trial and error until I was even close to being the cook I am now. Just never give up and don't get frustrated! Keep a frozen meal ready in the freezer when those days do happen :) makes it less stressful!
