Savory Asian Oatmeal

Ingredients

1/4 cup of quick cook, steel-cut oats

3/4 cup of boiling water

Ponzu sauce or soy sauce, to taste

Sriracha (AKA “Rooster Sauce) hot sauce, to taste

Chopped green onions, to taste

1 or 2 Eggland’s Best eggs, cooked to your preference

Roasted sesame oil to taste (optional, but tasty)

 

Directions:

This can be made with any type or any quantity of plain oatmeal, this is just how I prepare it.

Scoop out 1/4 of oats and place in microwave-safe bowl, pour 3/4 of boiling water into bowl, and cook for 2-2:30 in the microwave.

Prepare egg to desired preference. (I like sunny side up, so I can pierce the yolk and mix it into the oatmeal, but I have made this with scrambled eggs, hard-cooked, etc…)

When oats are complete, season with ponzu sauce (or soy sauce) and sriracha sauce.

Place egg on top, sprinkle with chopped green onion, drizzle roasted sesame oil and eat!

I know a savory oatmeal might require a leap of faith for people, but it’s a really tasty and filling breakfast.

  • WOW… This is SOooooooo Differant sounds AMAZING… Cannot wait to try 🙂 but was wondering could you eat it without the sesame oil and could you maybe add chile powder to it instead of the sauce?? Thanks For sharing…. I will check back to see if you respond, as i know not every one sees the responses on here unless you check!!
    Happy Holidays … Jen
    P.s…like your name, LOL!! (my name too:)

  • Hi Jen, Thanks for your compliment. 🙂 I don’t always eat this with the sesame oil, but it definitely adds an extra layer of tastiness,; however t it’s totally not necessary. You could also try chili powder. I don’t like sweet things for breakfast, so I am always experimenting with savory ingredients in my oats. Happy holidays to you, too. 🙂

  • I loved this! In fact, everyone in my family loved it too! I make my oats ahead of time in the crockpot…that makes it a 5 min meal instead of a 30 min meal. So creative and good!! Thank you for sharing. 🙂
