Ingredients

  • ½ tsp sesame oil
  • 6 shiitake mushrooms finely sliced (or other mushrooms)
  • 1 garlic clove peeled and minced
  • 1 scallion finely chopped (reserve a little for garnish)
  • ½ cup rolled oats
  • 5.3 oz silken tofu
  • 1 tsp white miso paste
  • 1 tsp low sodium vegetable stock powder
  • 1 tsp tamari reduced sodium
  • 1 cup water
  • ½ cup greens finely chopped (such as pak choy)
  • 1 tbsp kimchi
  • 1 tsp black sesame seeds
  • chili oil optional, to taste

Instructions

  • Heat sesame oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook for 7–8 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and most of the scallions (save a little for garnish). Cook for another minute.
  • Stir in the rolled oats, vegetable stock powder, tamari, and water. Mash the silken tofu with a fork and incorporate it into the pot. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are soft and creamy.
  • Add the chopped greens and cook for another 1–2 minutes until the greens are just wilted and everything is heated through.
  • Combine the miso paste with 1 tbsp of water. Stir into the oats.
  • Transfer to a bowl and top with reserved scallions, kimchi, black sesame seeds, and a drizzle of chili oil if using.

Notes

Increase the protein: top with edamame or use shredded extra firm tofu.
