I know that you can use matcha powder in a similar way to chocolate in sweet foods but are there any savoury dishes you can make with it?

One trend I've seen recently is making tea broths/sauces for meats, fishes, etc... Besides being a good use for tea, this has the double effect of giving off the tea's natural aroma when presented to the eater as opposed to simply using the tea to crust a meat - where you wouldn't really get any tea flavor until you actually bit in. I've also seen people smoking meats with tea leaves and such. I haven't tried this myself to see if the results are worth the trouble (aka - if you can actually taste the tea flavor). I would also try poaching various items in a matcha tea poaching liquid. For example:
You could use this to poach chicken and fish. Lastly, don't be afraid to add it to soups! Carrot-ginger soup would benefit from the addition of some matcha powder. |

I'd like to mix it in your fried chicken flour/spice mix, dredge it well, and serve with a sesame/mustard dip, or something with a little Asian flare. |

You can dig though these (also google) for more, but this looked good. I've used it in pastries and quick breads before (these pancakes were good). |
