So I’ve never been a fan of the sickly sweet oatmeals and other western style breakfast cereals, especially those with lots of sugar, so I’ve started recently getting into savory oatmeals and other porridges. My favorite so far is using a base dashi stock, miso paste and chili oil alongside some chopped light vegetables such as kimchi and scallions (water spinach is also good when finely diced).

    Yes! I grew up with Indian style porridges like khichidi and upma with Indian pickles, but went through a phase preferring sweeter Western style breakfasts. But lately I’m turning back to savory. I think the heartiness makes me feel more full and for longer

    One Western combo I came up with and really like:

    • Oatmeal
    • Chopped Field Roast vegan apple maple sage sausage
    • Fried onion
    • Fried garlic
    • Generic Western herb mixes (Italian blend, herbs de provence, table blend, etc.)
    • Some vegan savory flavorings and salts (soy sauce, MSG, yeast extracts, mushroom extracts, vegetable stock or bouillon)
