Ingredients

Oatmeal Ingredients

  • ½ tablespoon Sesame Oil
  • ½ cup Old Fashioned Rolled Oats
  • ½ teaspoon Fresh Ginger grated
  • 1 Garlic Cloves minced
  • ½ tablespoon Miso Paste
  • 1 cup Vegetable Stock

Oatmeal Toppings

  • Green Onions
  • Crunchy Chili Paste

Instructions

  • Add miso paste, minced garlic, and fresh ginger to a sauce pan and saute 1 minute mixing well. Add the stock and heat just long enough to infuse flavor into the stock. Remove the stock and set aside in a larger bowl.
  • In a small saucepan heat the oil on medium heat. Add the raw oats then toast for 1-2 minutes.
  • Add the infused stock, stir, then bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer for about 5-6 minutes. The oatmeal is ready when the oats have soaked up most of the liquid.
  • Transfer to a bowl, top with green onions and chili paste.

Notes

I prefer a light to medium miso for both the color and milder flavor profile which is a balance against the strong ginger flavor.
Don’t feel wed to sesame oil. If you don’t ordinarily have it, no need to buy a bottle just for this dish. I like it in the dish because it fits with that Asian kind of vibe, but canola, oilve, or coconut work just fine.
My favorite chili paste is Lao Gan Ma Spicy Chili Crisp. It’s addictive and you’ll want to put it on everything from eggs to rice or noodles. It's got a nice kick, but not overly hot, and the crunch factor makes it fun to eat. 
Note cooking times based on using old-fashioned rolled oats. Other types are substitutable but will require both different cook times and liquid quantities depending on type of oats.
Toasting oats is not level flavor. Don’t skip this step.
