Garnished Rice With Green Tea (Ocha-Zuke)

• 3 cups cooked rice (leftovers are perfect)
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 1 sheet nori (sheets of seaweed like sushi are typically wrapped in)
• 1 steamed chicken breasts (either are fine or whatever other leftovers you'd like to use) (optional) or 1 slice grilled salmon (either are fine or whatever other leftovers you'd like to use) (optional)
• 2 -3 tablespoons chopped coriander
• 14 teaspoon wasabi or 12 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
• 2 cups green tea (hot and freshly brewed)

1. Divide the rice into 4 deep bowls.
2. Dry roast the sesame seeds by stirring them over medium heat in a skillet until golden.
3. You may want to crush them slightly with a mortar once toasted, but this is not completely necessary.
4. Dry roast the nori by waving it back and forth over direct medium heat for about 1 minute (this is typically done just over the flame of a gas stove and I really recommend you use tongs to do this, not just your fingers!)
5. Fold and tear the sheet into 20 small rectangles and place 5 rectangles in each bowl.
6. Add chunks of chicken or salmon if desired.
7. Garnish each portion with corriander and wasabi or ginger.
8. Pour 1/2 cup tea over each bowl and serve immediately.
