Can I use this risotto rice for bibimbap, and if so how should I prepare it?

I was going to make bibimbap today but the supermarket didn't have any sushi rice. I stood there for a few minutes trying to figure out if paella or risotto rice (I assume it's arborio, but doesn't explicitly say) would be better, and got the risotto rice. Now I'm wondering if this was a poor choice. I obviously don't want it to turn out excessively gummy or creamy for this dish. I just want a nice bed of fluffy rice. I've rinsed it a few times and I'm leaving it to soak. Will this work, and should I cook it in a particular way? I was going to use the absorption method using a microwave rice cooker. This is all because I figured short grain rice would be better. I have jasmine rice as a backup. submitted by /u/Elegant-Winner-6521
