Golden Monkey Tea Chef Recipe

I thoroughly enjoy Adagio.com's tea chef contest. This month's tea was Golden Monkey, a Chinese black tea that is beautiful, smooth, and looks exactly like the photo on their website -- perfectly delightful! I love sampling new teas, and I love cooking. Somehow, the tea chef contest sparks creativity (Okay, I'll admit, I like the free tea! Who wouldn't?! ), and I usually really like the results! :)

Since I had never had Golden Monkey tea before, I made myself a glass of it, to help me decide what sort of recipe to create. The results were today's lunch: Golden Veggie Fried Rice. I thought it was delicious, and am looking forward to the leftovers tomorrow. ;)

I think this recipe might be with smokey flavored tea, too. Perhaps Lapsang Souchung or Russian Caravan? I think using some smokey flavored tea and meat (beef?) would make it a nice hearty winter stew-type of dish :-)

Pinja, yes! I think a smokey black tea would work well with beef added. :) The Golden Monkey tea isn't too dark, and we both thought chicken could easily be added to this rice dish. :)

Jean, I'm glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thanks for your comment! :)
