Instructions

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.
- 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

- 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.
- 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.
- 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

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.
