Instructions

In a small sauce pan, bring the water to a a simmer, add the green tea leaves and salt and turn off the heat. Set aside for 10 minutes. Drain and filter the tea. Discard the green leaves.
Get a large shallow bowl, put the steamed rice, and add the scallions and sesame seeds on top of the rice. Pour the green tea over the rice and serve immediately.

Notes

In general, you can use any type of green tea, but the best ones are called Shincha leaves.
I don’t recommend using powdered green tea or matcha green tea to make this recipe.
