Every office worker, the most worrying thing is that on working days from Monday to Friday, if you want to have a good breakfast and dinner at home, but suffer from spending too much time on the road every day, and don’t have too much time to cook delicious food, and work hard for a hard day. Many people choose breakfast engineering and takeaway to deal with. From the perspective of hygiene and nutrition, this is not the best choice. For me, the best way to decompress is to change a different breakfast every day, and then go out after eating well. Even if you arrive home late, you have to prepare a meal to treat your hungry yourself, and feel a little bit of happiness in your life. Sometimes happiness is given by yourself.

So how to enjoy a full sleep while cooking a delicious meal in a short time? Pasta, risotto in Western food, porridge, dumplings, and noodles in Chinese food are relatively suitable choices, simple, fast, and at the same time It can also change the taste and take care of the delicious

The essence of risotto in western food is to use a variety of vegetables, meat, seafood, etc., which are cooked with raw rice in a pot and water. It is slightly moist than ordinary rice simmered in a pot, but it is faster and more delicious. When cooking risotto, I usually prefer seafood risotto, and add spicy powder, whipped cream, coconut milk and other auxiliary materials to the seafood risotto to add flavor. August, September, and October shell seafood are the most plump. If you haven’t tried seafood risotto, please try it now. I’m really lazy to cook on working days. It’s also a good choice to make a delicious risotto on weekends.

Tips:
1. There are a lot of aquatic plants attached to the shell of mussels. You can use a brush or steel wire ball to brush it. It doesn't matter if you can't completely remove it. 2. The broth of the blanched mussels must be kept, even if you don't make risotto, you can use it. It is very delicious to cook noodles or tofu soup. 3. The amount of salt added to the risotto is added according to the individual's saltiness. Do not add too much at one time, thinking that the mussel soup is also salty 4. In the same way, you can replace the mussels with clams and other shellfish. 5. If you don’t like the spicy taste, you can leave out the chili powder. Add some light cream or coconut milk. Turmeric powder is a good choice.
