Creamy Vegan Miso Mushroom Risotto

Sharing is caring!

Jump to Recipe

There’s nothing like a creamy risotto! What’s even better is if it’s packed full of umami from the miso paste.

This Creamy Vegan Miso Mushroom Risotto is seriously so comforting, hearty, and packed full of flavour.

This risotto is a fusion of my love for Italian risotto and umami miso paste. Miso paste is really so versatile and can be used in so many different ways. Not only does it add extra flavour but gives that nice umami kick.

This Miso Mushroom Risotto is:

  • Creamy
  • Umami and Flavour-packed
  • Warm, hearty, and really simple to put together!

Now let’s talk about the ingredients and steps for this risotto!

Miso Paste

I used white miso paste for this recipe.

Broth for the Risotto

What you’ll need for the broth:

  • 8-10 cups vegetable stock
  • 3 dried shiitake mushrooms
  • Handful dried porcini mushrooms (around 6 large sliced pieces)


What to do:

  1. I simply heated up a large pot. From there I added in the vegetable stock and dried mushrooms.
  2. Then leave over high heat until it comes to a boil. When it comes to a boil, lower the heat and leave it at a simmer.
  3. You can remove the shiitake mushrooms form the stock and slice those up to mix in the rest of the fresh mushrooms.

MISO MUSHROOMS

For the Miso Mushrooms, you’ll need:

  • 2 tbsp vegan butter or olive oil
  • 500g fresh mushrooms of choice (I used a mix of shiitake, shimeji, and king oyster mushrooms)
  • 2 tbsp white miso paste
  • 1/4 tsp salt

I simply cooked down the mushrooms for 3 to 4 minutes. Once they’ve cooked down, leave them untouched for 5 minutes over medium high heat to allow them to brown on the sides.

Move the mushrooms around and then leave the remaining side to brown for another 5 minutes.

Afterwards, add in the miso paste. Mix it well to coat the mushrooms in the paste. Cook for another 1-2 minutes.

Set the mushrooms aside. The same pot will be used for the risotto!

RISOTTO

  • 2 tbsp vegan butter or olive oil 
  • 1 large yellow onion, diced
  • 8 cloves garlic, crushed and roughly chopped
  • 2.5 cups dry arborio rice
  • 1/2 cup white wine* see notes in the recipe card below
  • 1 tbsp white miso paste
  • 1 tsp salt, or to taste
  • Dash of pepper

In the same pot or dutch oven, heat 2 tbsp vegan butter or olive oil over high heat. Once hot, add in the onion and garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes.

Add in the rice and coat it well in the oil and garlic/onion mixture. Then over high heat, pour in the white wine. Mix the rice well and leave the wine to evaporate.

At this point, the rice will release some of its starches.

Lower the heat to medium high and then pour 1 cup of the stock into the risotto.

Mix well and then leave the risotto to cook over medium heat, stirring every 30 seconds, to prevent the rice from sticking at the bottom of the pot.

When the rice absorbs most of the liquid, scoop another 1 cup of stock and add it to the risotto. Continue to mix occasionally.

Mix in the miso paste and then mix well. Season the risotto with some salt, to taste.

Continue adding stock as needed to cook down the rice. It will take around 30-35 minutes to get al dente grains.

The risotto will thicken from the starches of the arborio grains. Patience is really the key in cooking a good, creamy risotto!

When the grains are al dente and almost cooked to your liking, add the miso mushrooms back into the pot.

Taste the risotto and season with more salt, to taste, if needed.

Mix everything well.

You can add a bit more stock to cook the rice down a bit more and if you don’t want it too dry.

When you’re happy with the doneness of your risotto and the consistency. Turn off the heat.

Serve the risotto immediately and enjoy while hot! You can garnish your risotto with some herbs of your choice or top it with some vegan parmesan cheese.
