Savoury Oats

Sounds odd... tastes good.

This savoury version of a normally sweet staple will open up a new world of possibilities, all the while keeping your gut happy and belly full.

My dad used to tell me how his dad would have his oats with a dash of salt in the morning. We both thought it was disgusting, however after you try this I guarantee you'll view oats in a different light.

Ingredients

(measurements are guidelines, feel free to adjust to taste)

• 1/2 cup oats
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable stock (optional)
• 1 spring onion shoot, chopped
• 1 egg
• 1 tbsp fried onion (shallots)
• 1 small bunch of coriander, chopped
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp chilli oil
• 1 tsp rice wine vinegar
• 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1 tsp salt
• any additional seasoning to taste (I added garlic, onion, pepper and chilli powder)

Steps

1. Heat oats in a large pot over medium heat. Immediately add water, stock and salt (water can be substituted for stock at a 1:1 ratio). Cook and stir occasionally, about 5 minutes. Stir in soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, additional seasonings and sesame oil; cook for an additional 4 to 5 minutes.
2. Cook the egg to your liking. I prefer fried, sunny-side up for this recipe.
3. Pour cooked oats into bowl. Add additional soy sauce to taste. Sprinkle nutritional yeast over oats. Add egg, spring onion, shallots and top with a drizzle of chilli oil and coriander.

Cook's Notes

A very flexible dish. Feel free to go wild with the toppings and stock flavours (but watch that sodium, it adds up quick!).
