It was an experiment. Definitely needs some appropriate seasoning. It's a passable poverty meal but it needs work.

Cost per person: 91¢ assuming you have bacon grease and eggs are practically free like they are from my backyard flock.

I do kimchi, stir fry some of it, drop hot water and then oatmeal with soy sauce. Salt, pepper, red chili powder

[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 2 points 23 hours ago

Savory oatmeal is awesome. I like it with olives & Parmesan and a fried egg.

Savory oats rock! Don't listen to the nay-sayers. ☺️ Especially with the steel cut variety.

[–] curiousaur@reddthat.com 2 points 1 day ago

Hot sauce, cheese, green onions and sour cream.

A lot of people that seem to think oats need to be diabetes inducing to be good.

take a look at kedgeree too!

I do something like an "oatmeal risotto" sometimes. Savory oats cooked with mushrooms and chopped nuts, sometimes breakfast sausage crumbled in, finished with some parmesan and a splash of cream if I'm feeling decadent.

[–] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

I'm guessing steel cut would be better than rolled for that.

[–] JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social 7 points 1 day ago

Good to see someone else discovering that oats can be part of all kinds of meals beyond straight-up 'breakfast.' Over here, I've upgraded from rice to SCO (steel-cut oats), with zero regrets.

I've done this before. Carbs are usually pretty flavor-neutral, and can generally go either sweet or savory. It's not any weirder than the poverty birthday dessert I got as a kid, and that was just spaghetti dusted with hot cocoa mix, haha.

My big oatmeal hack is adding gluten and wheat bran. 80% pure protein and fiber respectively.

[–] eltrain123@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Add some fresh salsa!

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 points 1 day ago

First thought: "IDK... Sounds weird."

Second thought: "I'll have to try it."

[–] dick_fineman@discuss.online 1 points 1 day ago

This all just made me sad.

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

So... Grits with oats instead?

[–] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Or haggis without the organs or stomach.

Or headbutts to the wall for putting that offal wrongton in your gob. 🤷🏼‍♂️
