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. 🙂
