CHEF JOSEPH’S TIPS:

1. Smoked salmon should be added at the end as it’s already cooked and just needs to warm through.

2. Risotto is usually cooked within 15 mins, but different people have different taste preference – some like it soft, others like to have it al dente.

3. You can use store-bought chicken stock, just remember to dilute it with water. Otherwise, it will be too salty.
