Ingredients

Instructions

  • Combine the rolled oats and chicken stock in a small pot. Simmer for 10 minutes over low heat or until it reaches your preferred texture. Transfer to serving bowls.
  • Poach the eggs in a large pot of water. Alternatively, you can pan fry them or use soft-boiled eggs.
  • Top the eggs on the oatmeal. Drizzle with soy sauce and sprinkle with green onion. For an extra boost of taste and texture, add chili oil (or sesame oil for a non-spicy dish), and sprinkle with fried shallots (or fried onion).
