Chazuke
Chazuke(チャズケ) is a quick simple meal that consists of rice and toppings submerged in green tea. This dish is a good way to use up leftover rice. It is commonly eaten as a late night snack or as a quick breakfast.
I have been meaning to try chazuke for a while so I made sure that I had some leftover rice and teriyaki salmon from the night before. Overall it was a little plain and flavourless...
I was in such a rush to take some photos that I forgot to garnish it with nori and sesame seeds.
Ingredients:
1 cup cooked Japanese short grained rice (warm)
1 cup green tea (hot)
1 ounce cooked salmon
1 inch nori (cut thinly)
1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
Directions:
1. Place the rice in a bowl and top with the salmon, nori and sesame seeds.
2. Pour in the green tea.

Wouldn't the nori and sesame seeds make up for the flavour?
I plan on trying this one again. I am looking forward to better results.
Just tried it with, chopped umeboshi, shiso furikake and shredded nori, it's just fine -still missing something, ready made powder still tastes better...
You can sprinkle some salt on the rice before putting other toppings on. I like to use hojicha or genmai cha because of the roasty flavor. But overall, I think the flavors are meant to be light. When you're hungry late at night you don't want something that will make you wake up thirsty. :)
