Miso Maple Porridge with Sesame

Porridge with miso sounds unusual but the salty-sweet balance works once you try it. Stir the miso and maple in off the heat, since boiling miso dulls its flavour. Sesame seeds and spring onion on top keep it from feeling too heavy.

Ingredients

Makes 4 servings

  • 320g Rolled oats
  • 1.2L Water
  • 40g White miso paste
  • 60g Maple syrup
  • 20g Sesame seeds
  • 40g Spring onion

Method

  1. Cook oats in water over medium heat, stirring for 6–8 minutes until thick and creamy.
  2. Stir through miso paste and maple syrup off the heat (miso loses flavour if boiled). Taste and adjust the balance of salty-sweet.
  3. Spoon into bowls and top with sesame seeds and sliced spring onion.
