- 1/2 cup steel-cut oats
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 2 cups of water
- 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce
- Pinch of salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions
- On a non-stick pot, add the minced mushroom and cook for a couple of minutes until it releases water. Add a pinch of salt.

- Add the steel-cut oats to the pot. Toast the oats with the rest of the vegetables for minutes or two and add the water.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, about 5 minutes.
- Once the oatmeal comes to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to cook for 25 to 30 more minutes. Make sure to stir every 5 minutes or so from burning the bottom.
- Once the oatmeal is completely cooked, turn off the heat and add the soy sauce. Mix until everything is well incorporated. Season with salt and pepper.

Notes
- If you are pre-soaking your steel cut oats, reduce the water amount to 1 cup, and reduce the cooking time to 15 minutes.
- Seaweed flakes/ nori furikake are optional toppings but highly recommend them.
- If you were to double the recipe, make sure to cook your oats a little longer. See the above section for how to store and reheat the savory oatmeal.
