Ochazuke (Green Tea over Rice)
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups steamed rice (leftovers are great)
- 8 ounces hot green tea
- gomashio (recipe below)
- assorted pickles (optional)
Instructions
- Brew your green tea in a small teapot or mug.
- Add your steamed rice to a bowl with plenty of room for tea.
- Garnish your rice with gomashio and desired toppings.
- Gently pour the green tea over your toppings to infuse the rice with flavor. Enjoy!
Notes
I start by using about half the green tea and I add more as I go along.
More topping ideas for ochazuke: fresh greens or herbs, diced tomato, chopped green onion, kimchi, roasted chestnut, sauerkraut, toasted nori strips, etc.
