Cooking with Green Tea

Talk about infusing the go-green mini challenge with innovation. Challenger 2BFitN10 took a shot at cooking with green tea and it sounds like a delicious meal was the result.

I love drinking green tea. This week’s challenge got me thinking: I wonder if I can do something with green tea besides drink it? Lo and behold, I can! I found two recipes that I made for dinner tonight. The main course was Green Tea Teriyaki Chicken, accompanied by Green Tea Rice. I was a bit apprehensive about cooking with green tea. I wasn’t quite sure how the flavors would turn out and whether my family would like it. The Green Tea Rice recipe called for white rice. I used Jasmine rice in my version.

The end result was delicious! The dishes had a subtle green tea flavor and a slight sweetness. I will definitely will be adding these two recipes to my collection of family favorites.
