Directions
In small saucepan, bring water to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Stir in miso until dissolved. Reduce heat to low.
In separate saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add shallot and ginger and stir until softened, but not browned. Add rice and stir for a minute or two to coat with oil. Add bok choy and cook, stirring often, until wilted, 4 or 5 minutes. Pour in mirin and stir until dissolved. Add a ladleful of simmering miso to rice, stirring until broth is almost absorbed before adding the next ladleful. Continue adding broth in this way until rice is tender, and a thick, creamy liquid remains in the pan, about 20 minutes in total.
Taste-test rice to be sure it is fully cooked. Stir in tamari and pepper.
Adjust seasoning and remove from heat. Divide the risotto among four serving plates. Garnish with a sprinkle of chopped toasted almonds or peanuts and green onions.
