When I was learning how to cook a few years back it became very clear to me that even though cooking is an enjoyble- and grounding-to-me activity, I was not built for the kinds of fiddly recipes designed to capture the hearts of the haute bourgeois cooks-as-hobbyist set. Instead, I like something I can make consistently but can tweak with seasonings and add-ins. Two of my life-saving staple meals of this kind—dal and oatmeal—boil down (ha) to the same glamorous genre: gruel !
Gorgeous gorgeous girls love gruel! This morning I’m enjoying my oats seasoned kind of Scandinavian holiday cookie meets generic Indian, with black pepper, cardamom, coriander, and turmeric. And I always throw in some nuts and dried fruits at the end.

God bless rice gruel, congee, oatmeal, grits, kasha, etc… any wet grain is my friend. Nothing tastes of kindness like a bland wet grain

what if i told you there was an alt way to eat your morning oats?
last week, i tried gyrean bap, (shout out doobydobap on youtube for putting me on, watch from 1.19 for the recipe) a korean breakfast dish consisting of rice, soy sauce with spring onions and a crispy fried egg. it was bomb.
but the next day, i was all out of rice (i live in an African household) and cba to boil more. what i did have was a bag of jumbo oats (another rec, jumbo oats are thicker oat flakes, with more texture and keeps you fuller for longer)
so i put those to the boil with some water, threw in some shimeji mushrooms for a bit of bite and earthiness, stirred in some sesame oil and crowned my morning bowl of oats with a boiled egg (African household cc: Ghanaian), my leftover gyrean bap sauce and some toasted sesame seeds. SO yummers.
a dish i would say this is close to is congee - a chinese savoury porridge made by overcooking rice until it softens (which i've yet to try but please know that when i do, you'll get my hot take)

I feel like this word encapsulates the eating experience of this dish.
“please sir I want some more gruel”

you can just eavesdrop and then insert yourself. they can’t really stop you.
