Oatmeal porridge in Asian style






Most of the people have already known about the benefit of oatmeal.   It helps lower cholesterol, reduce the risk of heart disease and diabetes, reduce high blood pressure and even reduce the risk for certain cancers.  It is really good to start your day with full energy if you take oatmeal breakfast.

I wanted to introduce the oatmeal breakfast in Asian style.  Hope you will enjoy it.  It is very simple and tasty.

Nobody wants to spend time in the kitchen for a breakfast.  15 minutes is the maximum we could spend for a busy day.   This dish is really less than 15 minutes to prepare.  However, we have to prepare the stock in advance when you are free after work or weekend and store in the fridge.  It can be used for 3-5 days.  (If you really have no time to make stock, you can use ready made chicken stock bottle or cubes – ½ cube is enough for one serving)

To prepare stock: Boil the water in the saucepan.  When the water boils, add 1pcs chicken breast, 2 tbs of fish sauce and a few slices of ginger.  Boil until chicken is cooked.  Take out the chicken breast and chop.  Make it cool for the stock and keep both stock and chopped chicken meat with separate food container in the fridge.

Method to cook 

Bring 1 ½ bowl of chicken stock to boil in the saucepan.  When water is boiling, add 3-4 tbs of quick oats, ½ tsp of sesame oil, 2 tbs of chopped chicken meat, salt and cook for 2 minutes. For those who needs extra energy, add one egg.  Sprinkle with chopped onion leaves and ¼ tsp of black pepper powder.  It is ready to serve.  It is really smooth, fragrant and tasty.  Enjoy!
