Ochazuke w/Mentaiko

I was seeking another use for my mentaiko (marinated roe of pollock) and came across this recipe.  I had heard about this before but thought, how good could this possibly be?  It's just rice with green tea poured over it and takes minutes to prepare.  I was once again pleasantly surprised by how simple, but amazingly tasty japanese cuisine is.  Ochazuke is basically just a leftovers dish of rice with either green tea, dashi stock, or hot water poured over it.  It's then topped with any number of toppings.  The mentaiko in this particular bowl really makes this something special.  I wouldn't make this without it, but I'm sure there are many variations of ochazuke that are delicious.

ingredients:
for 1 person
1.  roe from 1 whole sac of mentaiko, scraped and removed from the sac with a small spoon
2.  1 cup of rice
3.  1 green tea bag
4.  2 TBL of nori (preferably the salted kind), hand shredded into small 1/4" pieces
5.  2 tsp of toasted sesame seeds
6.  3 TBL of pre-cooked salmon, roughly shredded into 1" pieces (can be added cold straight from the refrigerator)
7.  1 TBL finely chopped green onion
8.  Optional: kimchee on the side.  this goes great with kimchee!

note: - I had left over salmon from the night before which was just quickly sauteed with salt and pepper.  This was great because I just added the cold salmon straight from the fridge and didn't have to worry about heating it back up and drying it out.  I believe chicken breast would work in this dish as well, but I haven't tried it out yet.

recipe:
1.  Place a medium sized cup of cold water into the microwave and heat it until it reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit (this is much lower than the boiling point of water and is the ideal temperature for green tea.  Green tea releases bitter flavors if the water is too hot).  Add in the green tea bag and allow to sit for 3 minutes.
2.  Add hot rice to a medium sized bowl.
3.  Pour hot tea over the rice (a little more than you would for cereal)
4.  Add all the toppings on top.
5.  Add a little more tea if you feel there is not enough liquid to keep it somewhat soupy.
6.  Serve hot and enjoy.
note: - It's best to mix in the mentaiko throughout the bowl so you get some in every bite.
note: - this goes great with kimchee, so serve it on the side if you can.
