Potato & Green Tea Leaf Fried Rice



Ingredients
White rice (cooked w/wheat grain)
Potato
Garlic
Green tea (Steeped leaf)
Salt
Soy sauce

I know it sounds unusual to eat green tea leaf but they actually taste very good. Steeped tea leaf is not very often used for cooking however, Matcha, milled green tea leaf powder is often used for Soba noodle, ice cream and other Japanese meals and drinks. Even Starbucks in Japan offers "Matcha Frappuccino" (Green Tea powder blended with milk, ice and whipped cream), so why not using steeped green tea leaf for cooking?

Stir fry striped potatoes and chopped garlic over low heat until potato get crisp and tender. Mix steeped green tea leaf and rice then season with salt and soy sauce. Cook until heated through, then serve.



緑茶葉とジャガイモのチャーハンを作りました。茶葉はでがらしを使います。スライスしたガーリックと細切りのじゃがいもを焦がさないように弱火で炒め、じゃがいもに火が通ったら緑茶葉とご飯(丸麦入り白米)を混ぜて、塩としょうゆで味付けをして全体に火が通ればできあがりです。わずかに残る茶葉の苦みとニンニクの薫りが、ほんのりと焦げたしょうゆの風味と絡まってとてもおいしくできました。簡単にできてとても美味しいのでおすすめです!
