Savory oatmeal with a fried egg and soy sauce Recipe

Asian-inspired · Main course · 15 min total

A comforting and protein-packed breakfast that transforms plain oatmeal into a savory, umami-rich bowl topped with a crispy fried egg and a drizzle of soy sauce.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup water or low-sodium broth
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
• 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
• 1 green onion, thinly sliced (optional)
• 1/4 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

1. In a small saucepan, combine oats, water or broth, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until oats are tender and porridge is thick, about 5 minutes.
2. While oatmeal cooks, heat vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Crack the egg into the skillet and fry until the white is set and edges are crispy, about 2-3 minutes for sunny-side up, or flip for over-easy.
3. Pour the cooked oatmeal into a bowl. Drizzle with soy sauce and sesame oil (if using). Top with the fried egg.
4. Garnish with sliced green onion and sesame seeds if desired. Serve immediately.

Tips

• For extra flavor, use chicken or vegetable broth instead of water.
• Adjust soy sauce to taste; start with 1 teaspoon and add more if needed.
• To make it vegan, omit the egg and add sautéed mushrooms or tofu.
• For a runny yolk, cook the egg sunny-side up; for a firmer yolk, cook over-easy or over-hard.
