Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (gluten-free) rolled oats
- 2 cups water
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tbsp white miso paste
- 1 cup mushrooms (shiitake, maitake, or oyster)
- 1 cup spinach
- 1 scallion or 1 bunch cilantro
- sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt. Stir in 1 cup of rolled oats and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook the oats according to the package instructions, usually for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of white miso paste with a little bit of hot water to create a smooth paste. Set aside.
- While the oatmeal is cooking, heat a separate skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms (shiitake, maitake, or oyster mix) to the skillet and cook until they are golden brown and tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- Once the oatmeal is cooked to your desired consistency, stir in the prepared miso paste and spinach. Mix well to incorporate the miso flavor into the oats.
- Top the oatmeal with the sautéed mushrooms. Finely chop either a green onion or a bunch of cilantro and sprinkle it over the oatmeal. Garnish with sesame seeds.
