First breakfast back at home: rolled oats topped with a fried egg and with smoky dashi and soy sauce poured all over. Then I added some chilli crisp on top of the egg. Because one of the pleasures of home is having all my condiments and not being bound by other people’s idea of breakfast.

I “invented” oatmeal with soy sauce, an egg, and green onions back when I was lifting weights. But really I just worked out the same principle as congee except with oats instead of rice. If you don’t have already made rice porridge, oatmeal is a lot faster and satisfies a similar need for mild and soft staple. #food
