I love porridge and miso – but together? Miso porridge kept popping up on my Instagram feed and being curious I decided to give it a go. I was not disappointed- this was a delicious breakfast and incredibly satisfying. It’s a great weekend brunch choice as it is quite substantial. It would make a brilliant post-run choice especially topped with a poached egg for extra protein.
Miso is a paste made from fermented soy beans and is a staple in Japanese cooking. It can help boost healthy gut bacteria and has a delicious savoury umami flavour.
Ingredients
Serves 1
1 tsp white miso paste
350ml water
60g rolled oats
1 tsp tamari or soy sauce
dash of sesame oil
Toppings:
1/2 tsp sesame seeds, toasted
2 tsp flaked almonds, toasted
sprinkle of coriander leaves
- First toast your seeds and almonds by placing in a small pan over a moderate heat for approx 3 minutes, shaking occasionally until they turn golden. Remove from the pan and allow to cool in a dish.
- Put the water and miso paste into the pan and whisk well. Add the oats, boil and simmer for 5-6 minutes. Add the tamari and sesame oil.
- Put the porridge into the bowl and add your toppings.
