Mushroom Risotto in a Pressure Cooker

 

I am not a very chinese Chinese but Chinese enough to feel oh so satisfied with a good bowl rice. So when I first tried a serving of risotto in an Italian restaurant—I think it was in G3 in Jalan Telawi 3, Bangsar—you should see the contented look in my face. 

So I wanted to try making it and I found this recipe I adapted from Food.com so yummy and good. And it gets done in 7 minutes in a pressure cooker. It's quick and easy.
