Japanese Savory Oatmeal with Miso and Scallions

Combine the rolled oats and water in a small saucepan.

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are creamy and most of the water is absorbed.

While the oats are simmering, in a small bowl, whisk together the white miso paste, soy sauce, and sesame oil until well combined.

Remove the cooked oatmeal from the heat and stir in the miso mixture until fully incorporated.

Divide the savory oatmeal into two bowls and garnish each serving with chopped scallions and toasted sesame seeds before serving warm.
