    What's the story

    Arborio rice is a staple of Italian cuisine, prized for its creamy texture and ability to absorb flavors, which makes it ideal for risotto.

    This article reveals five unexpected ways to use Arborio rice beyond classic risotto, introducing fresh concepts for sweet and savory dishes.

    These techniques inspire chefs of all levels to experiment with the versatility of Arborio rice in their culinary creations.

    Soup thickener

    Transforming soups into creamy delights

    Adding Arborio rice can transform soups that need a creamy texture but you do not want to add heavy cream or flour.

    By tossing in a handful of Arborio rice at the start of cooking, it gradually breaks down as the soup simmers, releasing its starches and naturally thickening the broth.

    This technique not only improves the soup's body but also contributes to a richer flavor.

    Sweet treats

    Elevating desserts with rice pudding

    Rice pudding, the ultimate comfort dessert, reaches new heights with Arborio rice.

    Its high starch content creates a creamier texture than other varieties.

    Slowly simmered with milk or coconut milk, sugar, and your choice of flavorings like vanilla or cinnamon, this rice transforms into a luxurious treat.

    Simple yet sophisticated, Arborio rice is the secret to a truly indulgent rice pudding.

    Snack time

    Creating crispy rice cakes

    If you're craving a crispy treat or just want to switch up your side dish game, leftover Arborio risotto can be transformed into deliciously crunchy rice cakes.

    Just form cold risotto into patties and pan-fry until they're golden brown on both sides.

    Enjoy them plain or get creative with toppings like cheese, herbs, or even a spoonful of tomato sauce for a tasty twist.

    Salad booster

    Adding texture to salads

    Leftover Arborio rice can be a surprisingly delicious addition to salads.

    Whether it's tossed with greens or used as a base for grain salads with veggies and dressing, its slightly chewy texture pairs well with a variety of ingredients.

    It works especially well in salads that require a bit of bulk without overwhelming other flavors.

    Sushi alternative

    Crafting homemade sushi rolls

    Traditionally, sushi is made with short-grain Japanese rice, but Arborio rice can be a good alternative in a pinch.

    Just cook the Arborio and season it with a vinegar mixture while it's still warm.

    Then, spread it on sheets of nori, add your favorite fillings like avocado or cucumber, and roll everything up tightly to make your sushi rolls.

    Voila, you have Italian sushi!
