Ochazuke with Broiled Tofu



I am using up my Sayamakaori shincha to make Ochazuke today. Ochazuke is a Japanese dish in which a hot tea is poured over rice topped with some simple ingredients. The dish is simple, tasty and extremely easy to prepare. Just put hot cooked rice in a bowl (I am using organic Japanese sushi rice), place any toppings of your choice (favorite toppings include grilled salmon, tempura or broiled eel),  add sesame seeds, wasabi, green onion or freshly grated ginger for additional flavor, then pour your tea (sencha, hojicha or bancha) over it. Done.




I didn't have any wasabi, green onion or fresh ginger today so I had mine without any extra flavor. Just rice, broiled tofu and tea. Simple and delicious.
