Ingredients

60g Rolled oats

675g Broth/ stock (chicken, beef, vegetable etc)

10g Miso

Dash of soy sauce (or to taste)

Recommended toppings: Green Onions / Pork Belly / Bacon / Fried Egg / Sesame Seeds / Chili Oil / Cripsy Onions / Roasted Mushrooms / Tofu

Serves 2-4

Step 1

Place rolled oats in a suitable pot and cover over with cold water. Agitate them with your hands to dislodge any chaf (oat hulls) and let it float to the top. This can be poured off. Repeat a few times to discard all the chaf. Once clean, pour off all excess liquid by pressing down on the oats with your hand to drain well

Step 2

Add broth to your oats and bring to a boil. Once boiling, give them a stir and reduce the heat to medium low and add soy sauce to taste.

Step 3

Keep an eye on the mixture as it thickens and stir often, especially near the end of cooking. Cook for approx 20-25 minutes, until the oats are tender and the mixture is thick.

Step 4

Serve congee in bowls and top with any of the suggested toppings. Add more soy sauce to taste if it's not salty enough.
