Step-by-Step Guide: Instant Pot Mushroom Risotto

Preparation


Prepare the ingredients as listed.

Instant Pot Mushroom Risotto Recipe (Pressure Cooker Mushroom Risotto): Prep mushrooms

Step 1
Rehydrate Dried Shiitake Mushrooms


In a 2-cups (500ml) glass measuring cup, submerge 3 (22g) dried shiitake mushrooms into 400ml warm water for 20 – 30 minutes. Place something on top to prevent the mushrooms from floating.

After 30 minutes, squeeze out the water in the shiitake mushrooms back in the glass measuring cup, then slice the mushrooms.

Set the mushroom soaking liquid aside as you will need it later.

Step 2
Prepare Pressure Cooker


Heat up your pressure cooker over medium high heat.

  • Instant Pot: press “Sauté” button, then “Adjust” button once to Sauté More function (Instant Pot Duo Plus 60: Press “Saute” button twice)

Instant Pot DUO Plus 60: Saute More Function

Ensure your pot is as hot as it can be.

  • Instant Pot: wait until indicator says HOT.

Step 3
Sauté Mushrooms


Pour 2 tbsp (30ml) olive oil and 2 tbsp (29g) unsalted butter in the pressure cooker. Ensure to coat oil over whole bottom of the pot.

Add in sliced cremini mushrooms and oyster mushrooms. Stir to evenly coat the mushrooms with butter.

Instant Pot Mushroom Risotto Recipe (Pressure Cooker Mushroom Risotto): saute mushrooms

Mushrooms will start to release their moisture. At the 8-minutes mark, drain some of the moisture to speed up the process.

Let the moisture evaporate completely, then season with 2 tbsp (30ml) regular soy sauce and stir occasionally until mushrooms are slightly crisped and browned.

*Pro Tip: This step will take roughly 17 – 22 mins (~12 mins on stovetop), but it will greatly enhance the flavor of the risotto.

Step 4
Prep Ingredients


While the mushroom slices are sauteing, prep the remaining ingredients accordingly.

Step 5
Combine Stock to Create Mushroom Chicken Stock


Instant Pot Mushroom Risotto Recipe (Pressure Cooker Mushroom Risotto): Create Mushroom Chicken Stock

While the mushroom slices are sauteing, combine 1 tbsp (15ml) regular soy sauce, 3 cups (750ml) unsalted chicken stock, and 1 cup (250ml) of the mushroom soaking liquid together in a glass measuring cup.

Step 6
Sauté Onions & Garlic


Add diced onions & shallots, then saute until soften and fragrant (~1 minute).

Add in minced garlic, then saute until fragrant (~30 seconds).

Move everything to one side of the pot to create room for the oil and rice.

Step 7
Add Rice and Season


Add 1 tbsp (15ml) olive oil & another 2 tbsp (29g) unsalted butter to the empty half of the pot.

Add 2 cups (400g) arborio rice in the oil. Stir until the rice is evenly coated with the oil.

Instant Pot Mushroom Risotto Recipe (Pressure Cooker Mushroom Risotto): add arborio rice and stir in oil

Mix everything together and continue to stir.

After 2 – 3 minutes, the edges of the Arborio rice should become translucent, while the center remains white.

Add sliced shiitake mushrooms and mix well with the rice.

Step 8
Deglaze


Pour in ¾ cup (188ml) dry white wine, fully deglaze the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon.

Instant Pot Mushroom Risotto Recipe (Pressure Cooker Mushroom Risotto): deglaze the pot

Stir and let the wine boil for roughly a minute allowing the alcohol to evaporate.

Step 9
Pressure Cook Risotto


Pour 4 cups (1L) mushroom chicken stock in the pressure cooker.

*Pro Tip 1: Now is a good time to make sure no rice or onion pieces stick to the sides of the pot.

Close lid and pressure cook at

  • Pressure Cooking Method: High Pressure for 5 minutes, then Quick Release

Open the lid carefully.

*Pro Tip 2 – For Softer Risotto: The above cooking time will produce al-dente risotto. So, if you prefer softer risotto, add an extra minute or two to the cooking time.

Optional Fancy Step
Warm Plates


Warm serving plates in the oven (we warm our plates in a 200°F toaster oven), this helps ensure the best risotto consistency when served.

Step 10
Reduce Risotto


Your pressure cooked risotto should look runny (as shown in photo below).
