The method

Step by step

1
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, vegetable broth, carrot, celery stalk, and garlic.
About 2 min
Cook’s note: Ensure vegetables are finely diced for even cooking and to blend well into the porridge.
2
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low.
About 5 min
3
Simmer, uncovered, for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
About 10 min
Cook’s note: Stirring helps prevent sticking and ensures creamy consistency.
4
Stir in the spinach, nutritional yeast, soy sauce, and black pepper.
About 1 min
5
Cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the spinach has wilted.
About 3 min
6
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
About 1 min
7
Serve hot, garnished with fresh chives and chili flakes, if desired.
Cook’s note: For extra creaminess, a splash of plant-based milk can be stirred in at the end.
