Sardine Ochazuke
- 1/2 cup cooked short-grain brown rice
- 2 tablespoons dried wakame seaweed rehydrated for a few minutes in 1 1/2 cups of very hot green tea (sencha, hojicha or genmaicha are best; matcha is not generally used for ochazuke, but I've used it when I don't have the others)
- 1/2 tin water or olive-oil packed sardines, drained (I love the sardines available online from Vital Choice)
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
- pinch of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of Sriracha or other hot sauce- optional
- Place cooked brown rice in serving bowl. Pour the green tea (along with the rehydrated wakame) over the brown rice. Allow to steep for a minute, the stir everything together.
- Top the rice/green tea/seaweed with the sardines. Sprinkle on the sesame seeds and add red pepper flakes (or optional hot sauce) before serving.
