For risotto, both with mushrooms and with other additives, fluidity and a special texture are important. When the edge of the plate is lifted, the rice mass slowly slides down. Rice should not be crushed, crumbly (like pilaf) or slurry (porridge). It is important to pour in the liquid gradually, in small portions, moving the spatula all the time until it evaporates. In this progressive way, starch is released, which envelops each grain, creating the necessary and characteristic viscosity.
