Grin, I've never made risotto but I understand the basics of it. I do make
a dish that though *quite* different, has a similar sort of rice treatment
though wetter by far.

In Japan it is commonly translated as 'rice porridge' (other places with a
simpler style of it but a close relative will call it Congee or Juk). The
main difference in Kyushu version 'rice porridge' is it has many more
ingredients though the total end volume of added things may be the same. Oh
and in Thailand, there is often a bit of coconut milk and lemon grass added.

I've thought a few times of trying a risotto. Just havent yet.
