    I thought I was the only one who knew about and liked savory oatmeal!!! my parents always cooked it savory when I was growing up! I didn't even know it's "normaly" served sweet until I went to summer camp!!!

    I eat mine mixed with a couple tablespoons of nutritional yeast and topped with black pepper. glad to know someone else "gets" it... all I get from my roommate are strange looks... HAHA

    And this is the type of thing that would be great on those nights when you get home later than usual and need a quick dinner !

    I'm way too excited over this but oh well :tongue:


    I was excited too. I had seen a recipe like this some time ago, but just didn't know and so I never tried it. But oats are just a grain like barley or quinoa...so why not. And I always have to make my sweet oatmeal recipes with milk because I want the creamy texture, but water works better here because it makes the oats...I don't know...keep their shape? You know...not so smooth and creamy;) so I can cut the calories from the milk.

    I saw another recipe that added shredded chicken, salsa, and black beans with cheese.

    My husband about gags at the thought of oatmeal period...even covered in butter and brown sugar...so I'm sure that he will give me pleanty of strange looks when I tell him my new favorite oatmeal topping is soy sauce-lol.

    I'm trying the recipe from the first post, right now. Only, I used a sliced, hard-boiled egg (had some in the fridge that needed using) instead of frying one up.

    The first bite was a bit hmmm... But I love it! This will definitely become a regular item on my breakfast menu.

    I definately need to buy some better oats....is it Irish Oats that is the same as steel cut?

    I'm a breakfast lover....bacon, eggs, home fries...very savory stuff so I'm stoked.

    And I grew up on fruit flavored instant oatmeal so it's no wonder I associated oatmeal with sweet and only breakfast...

    So I thought Irish Oats and Rolled Oats were similar, but I just googled it and it turns out that Irish Oats are considered steel cut, but they look completely different than the "steel cut" oats that I have seen by Bob's Red Mill...HMMM

    This sounds delicious - it reminds me of my favourie breakfast when I'm in Asia, congee. Basically rice cooked to a cross between soup/porridge consistency. Served with a variety of toppings to add yourself, I've seen spring onions, shredded chicken, fried shallots, boiled eggs, boiled peanuts, soy sauce, chilli sauce, sesame oil etc....
    I've been wondering about making this at home but oatmeal sounds better.
    Thanks for sharing :)
