Gyokuro Omelet

One of most spectacular green teas from Japan is the Gyokuro (jade dew), grown in the shade.

It needs to steep for 1-2 minutes in low temperature (at most 50ºC).

The cup is pale yellow and tastes a little like sea weed.

The steeped leaves are very soft.

Instead of throwing them away, one can use them as a spread. I suggest a simple omelet.

Here is the recipe haiku:

 

Prepare Gyokuro. Save the leaves.

Beat eggs with Ponzu sauce until smooth.

Add leaves, stir and fry.
