Oh geez, just used the last of my red rice, but now I have an excuse to get some more! This looks yummy. Congrats on the CP!

Yay, congrats on your CP! I set out to make this recipe earlier this week but couldn't find Genmaicha tea, so I toasted some brown jasmine rice and did my best to make my own. Well...the recipe was tasty but I look forward to making it with the real tea, soon!

Sorry I was too late to test. Genmaicha is my favorite tea. I always pick some up when I'm down in LA and can hit Marukai.

Mine too. It's just the thing at 3:00 in the afternoon when there is either a dinner banquet or a good book looming.

I love the idea of using teas as 'stock', and combining this particular tea flavours, with rice. It looks gorgeous too!

Thank you, KB; the tea is one of my favorites, and it was fun to take it in a new direction.

Come to think of it, I buy green tea noodles when i make my udon soup, so why not cook pasta in tea?! "Recall!I have more recipes I want to add!"

I've cooked pasta in water in which I've soaked procinis, so indeed why not in tea!

p.s. b, maybe you already drink it but if not, you might enjoy trying mugicha -toasted barley tea that the japanese drink in the summer. I drink it year round and completely forgot about it for this contest. I think it might be good as the broth for a mushroom and/or winter squash soup,(not pureed), where its toasted grain flavor would shine.

I'll have to hunt some down. It sounds wonderful as a tea, either hot or cold, and as a basis for practically any grain, brilliant!

b, I have always thought that Catherine Zeta Jones' multiple talents were really unfair, and one-of-a-kind. I mean, not only could she act, in comedy or drama, but she could dance,AND she could sing....all this while being extraordinarily beautiful in face and figure. Whew. Well, I'm gonna write and tell her that she has some stiff competition out here now. Gee b, isn't it enough to be a talented creative chef? but with that recipe introduction, it's clear that you're quite the writer, AND to top it all off, that photo vignette is worthy of a whole other career, on top of all the others you have! I must say, I am wicked impressed. Move over, Catherine,you got company!

Catherine has no competition from me! I'm short, and if I had to sing for my supper, I'd not only starve, people would throw things at me. You are extremely kind, and I thank you deeply.

P.S. I loved her character in No Reservations. She reminded me sooooooo much of me, without the height, hair, or beauty. Drive, check; focus, double check. But the scene where she cinched herself into her apron made me howl. That's exactly what I do with my apron at the start of every single day!

This is perfect, boulangere! I can almost taste this - YUM. I have everything on hand and I'm thinking this + an egg is supper tomorrow night.

I had leftovers the other night with a poached egg, and it was heavenly! I hope you enjoy it.

What a delicious bowl of rice! Topped with a fried egg, it made for a satisfying and comforting supper. Thank you for sharing such a lovely recipe. We'll be sure to enjoy it again!

From the blue chopsticks on, this pulled me right in! At every step you layer flavors that call me. I'm a long time fan of genmai cha, but this takes it over the top! Make soon!

I found it at a local natural food store, Pat. The little rice crunchies are wonderful!

Ahhh, brown rice tea, reading your head note elicits a virtual, toasty & nutty aroma. This is a must make!
