Though its style and taste had changed through a long history, it is known that both Chinese tea and Japanese green tea originated in China. We tried to cook Chinese cooking in unique style with (Japanese) green tea. The most particular way of Chinese cooking is to cook swiftly at high temperature. Except frozen foods, it is important to taste it during hot. It is better to taste while keeping the color of matcha unchanged which is weak against high temperature. To make the lean of fish and white color of arrowhead, making the bean jelly thicken is recommended. While preparing it at the other side, taste with dressing, and also enjoy its color. This dish is lightly seasoned, however, bitterness of green tea improve the flavor and make it better taste.
