Black Truffle Fried Rice with Green Tea Rubs

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon green tea rubs (a mixture of green tea leaves, sugar, and spices)
• 3 cups cooked jasmine or sushi rice, chilled
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
• 1/4 cup diced cooked chicken or shrimp (optional)
• 1/4 cup diced cooked bacon or ham (optional)
• 1/4 cup diced carrots
• 1/4 cup diced bell peppers
• 1/4 cup diced green beans
• 1/4 cup corn kernels
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• Freshly chopped parsley or cilantro, for garnish
• Shaved black truffle, for garnish

Instructions:

Prepare the Green Tea Rubs:

• Combine the green tea rubs ingredients in a small bowl. This mixture will be used to add a unique flavor to the fried rice.

Prepare the Vegetables:

• Dice the carrots, bell peppers, and green beans into small, uniform pieces. Set aside.

Cook the Eggs:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil in a large wok or frying pan over medium heat. Add the beaten eggs and cook, stirring, until scrambled. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Heat the Wok:

• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in the wok or pan over medium-high heat.

Sauté the Vegetables:

• Add the diced vegetables, green tea rubs, and cooked meat (if using) to the wok. Sauté until the vegetables are tender and the meat is heated through.

Add the Rice:

• Add the chilled rice to the wok and spread it out evenly. Press the rice down and let it heat for a minute or two without stirring to create a crust. Then, stir and toss the rice to combine with the vegetables and green tea rubs.

Season the Fried Rice:

• Add the salt, black pepper, soy sauce, and sesame oil to the rice mixture. Toss well to combine.

Add the Scrambled Eggs and Cheese:

• Add the scrambled eggs and Parmesan cheese to the rice mixture. Toss until the cheese is melted and evenly distributed.

Finish and Serve:

• Remove the fried rice from the heat and garnish with chopped parsley or cilantro and shaved black truffle. Serve the Black Truffle Fried Rice with Green Tea Rubs immediately, enjoying the fusion of flavors from the green tea rubs and the luxurious taste of black truffle.
