Japan meets China. The Genmaicha is crafted from a good quality Japanese Sencha, which has been layered with roasted rice and corn.
This process gives it a full body that can stand up to the Peking duck.
Serves 6

1 whole Peking duck ( Available from Chinese restaurants )
1 tbs. chopped ginger
4 packets of individually wrapped fresh udon noodles
1 cup dried shitake mushrooms
3 baby bock choy
2 ltr. chicken stock

½ cup chopped coriander
6 spring onions, finely chopped
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
