  • 600 mlWater

Equipment

Instructions

  1. Prepare Station

    Gather rolled oats, miso, eggs, scallion, sesame, water, a saucepan, small pot, bowls, spoon, knife, board, timer, and strainer. · 5 min

    What to look for: All ingredients are measured and tools are within reach.

  2. Boil Eggs

    Boil water in a small pot, lower in eggs, cook 6 to 7 minutes, then move them to cold water so the yolks stay softly set. · 8 min

    What to look for: The shells are intact and the eggs cool quickly in cold water.

  3. Simmer Oats

    Bring 600 ml water to a lively simmer in a saucepan, add rolled oats, and stir until the mixture thickens into a creamy porridge. · 6 min

    What to look for: The oats look creamy and the liquid is mostly absorbed.

  4. Stir Miso

    Reduce heat to low, whisk miso with a spoonful of hot oats in a bowl, then stir it back in so the miso stays smooth and fragrant. · 2 min

    What to look for: The miso blends evenly with no visible clumps.

  5. Finish Toppings

    Peel the eggs, slice scallion, and toast sesame in a dry pan until the seeds smell nutty and look lightly golden. · 3 min

    What to look for: The sesame is lightly golden and the egg yolks are soft when cut.

  6. Serve Bowls

    Spoon the miso oats into warm bowls, top each with 1 halved egg, scallion, and sesame, then serve at once. · 1 min

    What to look for: Each bowl has creamy oats, a soft egg half, green scallion, and sesame on top.

Storage and reheating

  • Fridge: up to 2 days
  • Freezer: not recommended
  • Reheat oats gently with a splash of water until steaming, and add a freshly cooked egg for best texture.

Ingredient substitutions

Rolled oat

  • Quick rolled oat: Cook for less time because the texture softens faster.

Miso

  • Red miso: Use a little less because the flavor is deeper and saltier.

Egg

  • Hard boiled egg: Cook longer for a firmer yolk if a runny center is not desired.

Scallion

  • Scallion green: Use only the green tops for a milder finish.

Sesame seed

  • Black sesame seed: Use the same amount for a slightly earthier look and taste.

Water

  • Hot water: Hot water brings the oats to a simmer more quickly.
