Ingredients:
1-2 tsp Brown Sesame Seeds
1 ½ cup Water
1 rounded tsp Green Tea Leaves or 1-2 teabags
2 Eggs
1 tbsp dried precut Wakame Seaweed (optional)
1/3 cup shelled/frozen Peas
5 medium sized Spinach leaves or other greens, well washed, stems discarded, chopped into 3
inch pieces
1 ½ cups Cooked Rice, preferably brown
1-1 ½ tbsp Soy Sauce
Chili Pepper (optional to taste)

Directions:

1. If sesame seeds aren’t already roasted, toast the sesame seeds by putting them in a wide
   skillet over medium heat, shaking the pan occasionally. Continue frying until fragrant (3-
   5 mins). Remove the seeds from the hot skillet so they don’t over cook and set them
   aside


2. Boil about 1 ½ cups of water, turn off heat and then add the tea. Let tea steep for 3-5
   minutes or until the desired strength, then strain out tea or remove teabags


3. In a small saucepan, bring about 2 cups of water to a boil. Add eggs, wakame and peas.
   Cook for about 3 minutes or until the white of the egg is cooked but the yolk is still
   runny. Add the spinach and cook for 30 seconds, until the leaves are wilted. Turn off the
   heat


4. Place rice in serving bowls. With a slotted spoon, remove the poached eggs and other
   cooked items from the pot and arrange them on top of the rice


5. Pour tea over the rice and other ingredients. Add soy sauce to taste


6. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top to garnish and serve with chili pepper on the side if desired
