Ingredients

For the Oatmeal

  • 3–4 tablespoons oats
  • 1 shallot, finely minced
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 small piece of ginger, minced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • About 200 ml water
  • 1 teaspoon oil

Toppings

  • ½ avocado, sliced
  • 1 fresh egg (room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon roasted seaweed (optional)
  • Chili flakes, to taste

Instructions

  1. Make the Oatmeal: Peel and finely mince the garlic, shallot, and ginger. Heat the oil in a small pan over medium heat and sauté the minced ingredients until golden and fragrant. Add the oats and toast them for a couple of minutes. Pour in the water and bring to a gentle boil while stirring continuously. Reduce the heat and simmer until the oats are soft and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Poach the Egg: Fill a pot with about 5–8 cm of water. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat so the water is gently simmering. Crack the egg carefully into a small bowl, making sure the yolk stays intact. Using a spoon, gently lower the egg into the simmering water. Let it cook for about 3–5 minutes, until the white is set but the yolk remains soft. Remove the egg carefully with a slotted spoon.
  3. Assemble the Bowl: Spoon the oatmeal into a bowl. Arrange the sliced avocado on top. Carefully place the poached egg over the oatmeal. Garnish with chili flakes, a pinch of salt, and roasted seaweed if using.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs for better poaching results.
  • If you prefer a firmer yolk, increase the poaching time to 6-7 minutes.
  • Roasted seaweed is optional but adds a nice umami flavor and texture.
  • Adjust chili flakes to your preferred spice level.
  • Oats can be substituted with gluten-free oats if needed.
