In a medium saucepan, combine the oats and the water and bring to a boil. Simmer for 5 minutes, then turn off the heat and cover the pot.
Ask the hotline about this step!When they are cool enough to hold your finger in the pot for 10 seconds, spoon 1/4 cup of oats into a small bowl. Add the miso to the bowl and stir well to combine. Pour the miso-oat mixture back into the saucepan and stir to combine. Leave overnight.
Ask the hotline about this step!In the morning, heat the oats gently until steaming but not boiling. Stir in honey, butter, and walnuts before serving.
Ask the hotline about this step!this... THIS is the kind of hearty and healthy but clever, anti-lame food that makes me tingle.
I love this combination and I'll definitely have to try this overnight method now.
I am COMPLETELY intrigued by this. i love my steel cut oats but have been a bit bored with my formula lately. thanks for this!
Mrslarkin, you should definitely try it again with the sweet white miso paste. I once made the mistake of using the darker stuff, and it was definitely not my thing.
Okay! I got sweet white miso. So much better! Still an acquired savory taste, but I'll make it again for sure. The flavor of this miso reminds me of Parmigiano. Maybe I'll stick some into my risotto next time!
Ooh, risotto! That is such a cool idea. If you try it, let me know how it turns out! Maybe it would be good with little flecks of dried nori and some baby shiitake mushrooms...
This sounds luscious, linzarella. I'm definitely going to try it - but probably with my method, since it's less work. ;)
Made this last week. I only had Hearty Brown Rice Miso paste in the house, and it was very potent. Will have to try this again with sweet white miso paste, which I'm guessing is milder?
This looks wonderful! It's going to get folded into my morning repertoire...

The oats don't look all that promising in their raw form. Hamster pellets, anyone?

Somewhat like tempering eggs, you then mix the small bowl of miso oats back into the rest of the oats. Then you cover the pot and wait until morning!

The next day, once you've re-warmed the oatmeal, you add just the tiniest hint of butter.

The final touch is a sprinkling of toasted walnuts (which we forgot to toast -- it was not tragic).
