Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon ghee or neutral oil
  • 1 cup quick-cooking rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon red miso
  • 3 cups + 1 tablespoon water
  • 2 scallions, white and light green parts only, minced
  • drizzle of toasted sesame oil
  • 2 pinches sesame seeds, furikake, or gomasio
  • handful of micro greens or sprouts, optional
  • 2 eggs

Instructions
 

  • Heat the ghee in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the oats, and toast for about 2minutes, until lightly browned.
  • In a small bowl, dilute the miso with 1 tablespoon of the water. Stir the miso in with the oats, then add the 3 cups water (be careful, it may splatter) and stir. Bring to a simmer, reduce the heat to low, and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it has reduced to a desired porridge/oatmeal consistency.
  • Remove from the heat, cover, and prepare 2 eggs, poached or fried as desired.
  • Once the eggs are ready, divide the oatmeal between 2 bowls. Add 1 egg to each bowl, then add the scallions, sesame oil, sesame seeds, and micro greens or sprouts, if using, or any other topping you like.
