So I've never been a fan of the sickly sweet oatmeals and other western style breakfast cereals, especially those with lots of sugar, so I've started recently getting into savory oatmeals and other porridges. My favorite so far is using a base dashi stock, miso paste and chili oil alongside some chopped light vegetables such as kimchi and scallions (water spinach is also good when finely diced).

    I've done sweet oats for a long time, usually with some peanut butter and honey. I'd never even considered doing savory before this!

    Tried some this morning, just some old-fashioned oats cooked in milk, then added some chili powder, shredded cheese, and bacon bits (I know, shame on ye who cannot say im-vegan). And holy crap, it was really good! Thanks for the idea, lots of fun experimentation to do here.

      Sounds tasty, really gotta endorse chilli oil or chili crisps being added if you never given that a try before

        Yes, that does sound amazing. Not many things chili crisps don't make better!
