In a dry skillet, add quick oats. Dry roast for about 5 minutes. This releases a nice flavour. Remove oats from skillet and set aside. (You can very well omit this step if short of time)
Then heat the coconut oil in the skillet. Add ginger and sauté for about 20 seconds.
Add tomatoes and stir. Cook for about 5 minutes until tomatoes are slightly reduced and turn a little darker in colour.
At this point, add the mushroom and edamame. Add soy sauce. Stir and let cook for 2 - 3 minutes.
Next add oats along with 1 cup water. Add nutritional yeast if using.
Stir well and let cook for about 5 minutes, occasionally stirring and adding more water if required.
If adding non-dairy milk, allow porridge to reduce a little and add milk.
The consistency of this porridge should be oozy and not stodgy or creamy like traditional porridge. So, be careful on the amount of water you are adding to cook.
Turn off heat.
Garnish with finely chopped fresh herbs before serving.
Notes
You may use other types of oats like rolled oats or steel cut oats. The cooking time will vary and it will result in a slightly different texture.Link to Gladiator Savoury Oats Porridge - https://veganlovlie.com/a-breakfast-worthy-of-gladiator-savoury/
