Savory Ginger Miso Oats with Sesame Edamame
Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup quick cookings oats (not instant oats)
- 1/2 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
- Crushed red pepper flakes or chili flakes, to taste
- 1 cup roughly chopped baby spinach
- 1 teaspoon reduced sodium tamari, plus more for serving
- 1 1/2 teaspoons white miso paste (I use Miso Master Organic Mellow White Miso)
- 1/2 teaspoon Gomasio (seasoned sesame seeds), plus more for topping
- 1/2 cup cooked edamame (hot, removed from shells)
- Toasted sesame oil, for drizzling
- Thinly sliced green onion (optional), for topping
Instructions
- In a small pot, bring the water to a simmer.
- Stir in the oats, ginger, and red pepper flakes, if using.
- Reduce heat to low, and simmer for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Fold in the spinach and cook for another 1 minute, stirring occasionally.
- Remove the pot from heat, then stir in the tamari, miso paste, and Gomasio until the miso dissolves. Taste and adjust the ingredients accordingly.
- Spoon the oats into a bowl, then top with edamame.
- Drizzle the toasted sesame oil on top and sprinkle on more Gomasio, as well as green onions, if you wish. Serve with tamari.
