A delightful and aromatic rice dish infused with green tea and complemented by fresh vegetables and sesame seeds.
Brew the green tea by steeping the loose-leaf tea in 3 cups of hot water for about 7 minutes. Strain and set aside.
Use freshly boiled water for the best flavor extraction from the tea.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rice, brewed green tea, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Stir occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let the rice simmer for 10 minutes.
Ensure the lid is tightly closed to trap the steam for even cooking.
Add the frozen mixed vegetables to the saucepan, cover again, and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Avoid overcooking the vegetables to maintain their vibrant color and texture.
Stir in the chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Gently fold the ingredients to avoid breaking the rice grains.
Serve the rice warm, garnished with additional sesame seeds if desired. Enjoy your meal!
Pair with a light soup or salad for a complete meal.
