We are making Seafood Doria, in which a creamy white sauce with seafood and mushrooms is poured over rice and baked. Enjoy the savory taste of the seafood. This is so creamy, rich and delicious!
First, cook the rice with a slightly less amount of water. To the rice, add the carrot, onion and the crumbled chicken bouillon cube.
Distribute the vegetables on the surface. To help cook the rice evenly, don’t combine the mixture but leave all the vegetables on top.
Now, let’s cook the white sauce. Rinse the seafood under running to help it thaw. Rinsing the seafood under running water will help it to thaw.
Place the seafood into the heated pan and distribute evenly. Add the white wine and the white pepper. Cover and lightly simmer the seafood.
Uncover and stir until the seafood is almost cooked. It will be completely cooked when you make the white sauce later. Now, reserve the seafood in a bowl.
Now, clean the pan with a paper towel. Place the butter into the pan and turn the heat to low.
When the butter is melted, add the roughly chopped onion. Saute until it softens.
Then, add the cake flour or all-purpose flour. Combine the mixture. The flour easily burns so make sure to reduce the heat to low.
Thoroughly saute the onion until the flour is completely cooked as shown. Now, add the shiitake and shimeji mushrooms and continue to stir-fry.
When the mushrooms are coated with the oil evenly, add the cold milk. With a balloon whisk, combine the mixture. Using chilled milk will help the sauce mix evenly.
When it becomes smooth, add the bay leaf. Then, reduce the sauce. To avoid burning, make sure to continue stirring on low heat.
When it reaches the desired consistency as shown, season with the salt and the white pepper. Mix and test the flavor of the sauce.
Then, add the seafood mix. Stir and cook the seafood completely.
Now, the white sauce is ready.
And now, let’s bake the seafood doria. Add the butter to the mixed rice. Lightly mix to combine.
Place the rice in a gratin dish.
Ladle the white sauce and ingredients onto the rice.
And cover the sauce with the pizza cheese.
Heat a toaster oven to 200 °C (392 °F). Bake the doria for about 7 to 8 minutes until the surface is browned.
Now, remove the doria. Garnish with the parsley leaves and it is ready to serve.
Recipe Notes
The doria uses lots of cheese so we recommend lightly seasoning the sauce and the rice.
If the pizza cheese is too heavy for you, you can also use grated Parmesan cheese.
Alternatively, you can season the rice with ketchup and use chicken instead of the seafood.
Which white wine is best for this dish?
The amount of white wine? in the recipe is relatively small so you can use your favorite white wine😊
Would this be possible without baking?
Yes. You can eat the dish without baking but browning the surface makes the doria more delicious! 🙂
