Start by heating chicken stock in a pan.

Prepare shallots and garlic for cooking.

Add shallots and garlic to the heated pan and cook until sizzling, ensuring to pick up the brown bits from the bottom.

Add arborio rice to the pan and toast it briefly.

Pour in a splash of white wine and let it absorb into the rice.

Gradually add chicken stock to the rice while stirring, allowing it to absorb before adding more.

Prepare crispy enoki mushrooms by dusting them in corn starch and frying them in hot oil until golden brown.

Season the fried mushrooms with salt immediately after frying.

In a bowl, mix egg yolks with grated pecorino cheese and combine quickly with the risotto off the heat to avoid scrambling the eggs.

Stir in crispy pancetta bits into the risotto, saving some for garnish.

Garnish the risotto with chives and remaining crispy pancetta before serving.
