So I’ve never been a fan of the sickly sweet oatmeals and other western style breakfast cereals, especially those with lots of sugar, so I’ve started recently getting into savory oatmeals and other porridges. My favorite so far is using a base dashi stock, miso paste and chili oil alongside some chopped light vegetables such as kimchi and scallions (water spinach is also good when finely diced).
Anyone got quick recipes to share? I usually have only half an hour to cook and eat breakfast during my work week so use quick oats and a microwave. I’d prefer steel cut oats but I don’t have the luxury of time lol

Also I often just cook oats in stock and add chilli crisp as a topping.
Now this just looks perfect for me! I’ll most definitely have to practice making this soon
It’s worth grating ginger and lemongrass for the week ahead of time. Then you can just throw a spoon from the fridge in a pot and it comes together with no trouble.
Thanks for the tip, I usually have frozen ginger ready to go but never really played with lemongrass much besides making tea with it
It’s very fibrous, one of those ingredients where you watch a video of some Thai grandma turn it into a paste in like 20 seconds with a knife, try the same thing and conclude that she must have superpowers.
Prep and use instant dashi and either a meat or veg based broth, add to instant oats with teaspoon of miso paste mixed in then microwave (add diced scallions), top with chili oil at end if you like some spicy umami notes. There’s also the good old fashioned oats with shredded cheese, add some salt and pepper with your stock/broth then microwave
Thank you kindly, gonna try testing it out on my day off to get the ratios right
