Mom always suggests us to have some oats when it’s possible (I guess it’s probably because of the nutrition side of it). Personally I don’t mind having oats Porridge, but I hate having it with milk. One reason is because it always sticks on the bottom of sauce pan while cooking it, as well as the milk always boils before the oats get cooked through; Secondly the taste doesn’t really feel as much as so nice that it makes me feel worth getting into all the trouble that mentioned above, you know, watching the stove, scrubbing the pot ….

But guess what? Recently after having experimented some new ways, I found the perfect savoury recipe for oats porridge. I enjoyed no-fuss way of cooking it and its beautiful taste. It only takes about 10 minutes, but every time when I sat down and started to eat, I didn’t feel like leaving the table. It is so hearty and warming in a winter’s morning, that I can feel that it makes every cell of my body happy, satisfied and well-fed.

This is how I did it to serve two people: 2 cups of cold water with 1/3 cups oat in sauce pot on high heat. When the water slightly boils, add in finely chopped two pieces of Asian green vegetable ( Bok Choy or whatever) and one piece of finely chopped bacon. Then crack an egg in, making sure it keeps its shape so you don’t want to stir the porridge too much. Cook on medium to low heat until egg forms hard, then season with a bit of salt. Serve hot.Now I almost have it every morning.

By the way, it helps constipation as well
