Green tea rice with an optional touch of sweetness from coconut milk, plus lovely fresh and umami flavours from the toppings. You could also use a sprinkling of togarashi as a garnish instead of the sesame seeds.

Pour the coconut milk over the rice (if using) and add 300ml/½ pint of the green tea. If not using the coconut milk, add 400ml/14fl oz green tea (you will get approximately this amount when you strain it). Season with salt and bring to the boil. Cover, turn down the heat, and simmer for around 15 minutes until all the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is al dente. Put a tea towel over the rice and replace the lid, then leave to stand off the heat for 10 minutes.

To make the garnish, heat the oil in a frying pan or wok. Add the spring onions, ginger and garlic and stir-fry for a minute or two. Remove from the heat and add the mirin and soy sauce. Pour over the rice and garnish with the sesame seeds and a few drops of sesame oil.
