Ochazuke

Dinner decisions, handled: Ochazuke pairs cooked rice with green tea for a 20-minute Japanese lunch.

Ingredients

• 2 cups Cooked rice
• 2 cups Green tea
• 0.5 lb Salted salmon
• 2 sheets Nori
• 1 tsp Wasabi
• 0.25 cup Mitsuba
• 1 tsp Sesame seeds
• 2 tbsp Arare crackers

Steps

1. Brew the green tea strong and keep it steaming hot. Flake the salted salmon into bite-sized pieces.
2. Divide the hot rice among deep bowls and arrange the salmon, nori strips, and mitsuba on top.
3. Pour the hot tea over everything right at the table — it should just cover the rice.
4. Add wasabi, sesame, and arare to taste. Eat immediately, while the tea is hot and the crackers still crunch.
5. The Kyoto way to end a meal, or the fastest satisfying lunch in the Japanese canon.
