Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup cooked, warm Japanese rice
- 1 cup hot green tea
- 1/4 pound salmon fillet, or 1 Japanese pickled plum (umeboshi)
- 2 teaspoons shredded nori seaweed
- 1 teaspoon bubu arare (baked rice cracker balls) or crumbled Japanese rice crackers
- 1/4 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons shungiku, mitsuba, or cilantro, chopped
- wasabi (optional)
- Soy sauce (optional)
Instructions
- Sprinkle salt on both sides of the salmon filet and transfer to a cooking tray covered with parchment paper.
- Turn the oven to broil and move the oven rack to the highest position. Broil the salmon for 10-12 minutes, until cooked through. Use a fork or chopsticks to break the salmon into small flakes.
- Put the rice in a bowl and pour enough green tea to cover 3/4 of the rice.
- Add all the toppings and serve immediately.
Notes
For dashi based ochazuke, use 1 cup of dashi instead of green tea and stir in a dash of soy sauce and mirin (about 1/2 teaspoon each), and a sprinkle of salt.
