Main Ingredients- 1 jar (approx. 500g) store-bought spaghetti sauce
- 200g ground pork
- 2 Tbsp cooking wine (or sake)
- 1.5-2 bowls cooked rice
- 1 cup (approx. 100g) mozzarella cheese
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare all the ingredients needed to make the tomato meat sauce risotto. Gathering fresh ingredients is the first step to a great dish.
Step 2
For this recipe, we’ll be using a delicious jarred spaghetti sauce to make the meat sauce risotto even more conveniently. Please choose your favorite brand of sauce.
Step 3
In a deep pan or pot, add 200g of ground pork. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of cooking wine, which helps eliminate any gamey odors. Instead of high heat, cook over medium-low heat for about 5-7 minutes, ensuring the pork is thoroughly cooked and lightly browned. It’s important to break up the meat into smaller pieces as you stir-fry it.
Step 4
Once the ground pork is fully cooked and has turned a appetizing brown color without any pinkness, pour in the entire jar of store-bought spaghetti sauce. Sauté for another 2 minutes over medium heat. This step allows the meat and sauce to meld beautifully, creating a rich meat sauce base.
Step 5
In a deep bowl, place 1.5 to 2 bowls of warm cooked rice. Generously spoon the hot tomato meat sauce you just prepared over the rice. Finally, sprinkle 1 cup of mozzarella cheese over the sauce to add extra richness to your risotto.
Step 6
Place the bowl containing the risotto into a microwave-safe dish. Heat in the microwave for about 2 minutes, or until the mozzarella cheese is completely melted and bubbly. The melting cheese will create a tempting visual.
Step 7
After removing from the microwave, you might notice the cheese isn’t fully melted, as the rice is warm but the sauce might still be setting. At this point, gently stir the rice and sauce together with a spoon. As the warm meat sauce permeates the rice grains, it will help the remaining mozzarella cheese melt perfectly.
Step 8
And there you have it – a magnificent Tomato Meat Sauce Risotto is ready! Gently mix everything together while it’s warm to enjoy the harmonious flavors of the rice, sauce, and cheese. This simple yet special dish will surely enrich your dining table. Enjoy your meal!
