Ingredients:
- 1/2 c on Minute brand Jasmine rice
- 1 organic green tea big
- 4-5oz of wild-caught salmon (you can cook it fresh, use canned or single-serve pouches, or my favorite: smoked salmon)
- 1 ½c water
- 6-8 slices of organic cucumber
- 2 dried seaw
Saweed slices (the snack seaweed wors great for this)
- 1 tbsp of freshly grated organic ginger (tip* keep fresh ginger in the freezer for quick use and easy grating as needed)
- 1 tsp of org
Organic soy sauce or tamari sauce
- ¼ tsp of organic black sesame seeds
- ⅛ tsp of organic red pepper flakes
- ⅛ – ¼ tsp sea salt.
- Optional: spicy peppers, chopped green onions, shredded carrots, mushrooms, bok choy, spinach, kale, wasabi, or any other flavors you’d like to add.
Directions
Add ½ c of water and Minute Rice to a pan or microwave-safe bowl. Bring water to a boil and cook rice for (~7 min) adding sea salt to taste (I like to add a little crushed saffron to the rice too for an extra burst of flavor). If you’re cooking your salmon, chop it into 1in cubes and begin sauteeing in a pan tending to it as you prepare the rest of the dish (cook on mediu
m-high heat for ~1 min each side)
- While rice cooks, place remaining 1c water in a microwave-safe glass or teapot and heat to just boiling (~2 min). Remove and add the green tea bag. Cover and allow the tea to steep.
- While rice and tea are being prepared, chop cucumber slices into quarters, chop any other remaining veggies you want to add, crumble the seaweed, and grate the ginger.
- Once rice is cooked, place it in the bottle of a soup bowl, top with seaweed, cucumbers, salmon, ginger, and any optional vegetables. Pour the green tea over the dish, add soy/tamari sauce, pepper flakes, and sesame seeds. Enjoy
Notes:
This dish is light and fresh and brimming with micronutrients including magnesium, calcium, potassium, and iodine. The salmon and sesame seeds provide healthy omega-3 fats. Green tea and seaweed are full of antioxidants, and ginger is great for the gut and digestion.
This is also a super easy dish to prep ahead of time. Just prepare the green tea and pour over the other ingredients when ready to eat.
