Ochazuke (Rice with Green Tea)

Ochazuke is a simple rice dish made by pouring tea over cooked rice, with toppings of your choice. I usually love a nice simple crumbled salted salmon on top of my ochazuke.

Ingredients:

  • Instant Nozawana Chazuke
  • Dashi
  • 1 tsp Soy sauce
  • 1 1/2 tsp Mirin
  • Salt
  • Rice
  • Grilled salted salmon
  • Arare for Ochazuke (tiny rice crackers)

How to make Dashi broth:

  • Boil 750 ml of hot water then add dashi, soy sauce, mirin, and a sprinkle of salt.
  • Set it aside once you’re done (should take about 3 minutes).

How to make Ochazuke:

  • Break your grilled salmon into pieces so it looks like flake salmon.
  • Plate your rice in a bowl and the salmon on top of your rice. Scatter instant Nozawana Chazuke over your rice.
  • Slowly pour your dashi broth to your bowl of rice.

Ochazuke is healthy and hearty, always a meal I’d enjoy on a lazy Sunday.
