Oatmeal is too thick.
Add a little more water while cooking.
Oatmeal is too thin.
Cook for a few more minutes to allow excess water to evaporate.
Chef's Notes
Toast oats for 1-2 mins before adding liquid for a nutty depth of flavor.
Stir in cooked greens at the very end to preserve their vibrant color and texture.
Top with a drizzle of chili oil or a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds for extra flavor.
Cooked oatmeal can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently with a splash of water or broth.
The Method
HEAT
In a small saucepan, heat sesame oil (1 tsp) over medium heat.
Sesame oil is shimmering and fragrant.
ADD
Add garlic (1 clove) and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Garlic is fragrant and lightly golden, not browned.
STIR
Stir in oats and water (1 cup). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until oats are cooked and creamy.
Scorch risk: Reductions can go from perfect to burnt fast. Keep an eye on the bottom and stir if needed.
Oats are cooked through and have a creamy consistency.
COOK
While the oats are cooking, sauté spinach (2 cups) in a separate pan until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
Spinach is wilted and tender.
FRY
Fry an egg (1 whole) to your liking (soft-boiled or fried).
Egg is cooked to desired doneness, with a runny yolk if preferred.
TRANSFER
Transfer oatmeal to a bowl. Top with sautéed spinach (2 cups), fried egg (1 whole), soy sauce (1 tsp), red pepper flakes (⅛ tsp) (optional), and sesame seeds (½ tsp).
Oatmeal is in the bowl, topped with all garnishes.
SERVE
Serve immediately and enjoy!
