hey babies welcome back to day 18 of our
30 days of healthy eating and living
series i'm zhang and today i'm gonna
share a savory breakfast oatmeal on the
overnight oats video many of you said
that you don't like sweets for breakfast
and you wanted to get my take on a
savory oatmeal i thought that's really
interesting because I love savory
oatmeal it reminds me a lot of congee
today I'm gonna sneak some veggies in
early in the morning and it's gonna be
so savory and delicious the best way to
start the day be sure to hit that
subscribe button if you want to see the
rest of our 30 days of healthy eating a
living series and give me a thumbs up if
you're also into savory breakfast
oatmeal to be precise well go ahead and
get started with sauteing our veggies in
a small skillet I'm gonna drizzle a
little bit of olive oil and let the pan
get hot once the olive oil is heated I'm
gonna add half of a portobello mushroom
that I've already sliced
I'll saute it for maybe 2 to 3 minutes
until it gets nice and soft and then
I'll add 2 cups of chopped kale
I'll saute that for another minute or
two and then I'm going to add some
seasoning here I'm adding about one
tablespoon of soy sauce just to create a
very light savory sauce for the veggies
and that's it ah this smells so good and
this is all I need to do to the veggies
I'm gonna set it aside and then we're
gonna cook our oatmeal for the oatmeal
it's really quite simple just how you
typically cook oatmeal here I have one
cup of rolled oats if you want it to go
faster go ahead and use quick oats but I
like rolled oats it just tastes a little
bit more nutty I'll add it to my pan and
then I'll add two and a quarter cups of
water if you want your oatmeal to be a
little more thick then just add two cups
but I like it more on like the runny
soft side also if you want more flavor
to the oatmeal totally you can use
vegetable stock or chicken broth I'll
cook it on medium high heat for about
five to ten minutes until the oatmeal is
fully absorbed and perfect I also like
to add maybe half a teaspoon of kosher
salt just to amp up the flavor all right
guys while that's cooking I just wanted
to take a minute to get real here so
yesterday I had to bring era C on to the
show because I've just been struggling
so much with her and just getting her
back onto a sleep schedule we used to
film while she was napping and just the
past week or so she just has not been
napping and I just don't know how to get
her back on that schedule sleep training
has been proven to be really difficult
especially at night I felt like this
week was the hardest week since having
her I know like the first month after
having air C I was just not getting any
sleep just
waking up around the clock to feed and
that happened again this week so I'm
really struggling with trying to get her
back on to the schedule and just getting
her happy again so if you guys have any
recommendations or what you think I
could do I would welcome all the advice
but yeah I know I know parenting has its
challenge and this is yet another one I
feel like she's going through a leap or
something
last week she started standing up in the
crib and it was really fun to see but
also a little terrifying as well because
now I just have to always keep a closer
eye on her and making sure like she
doesn't fall or get into things and
we're starting to baby-proof the house
too so that's another fees in parenthood
it's it's been really fun though and I
really can't wait until she is old
enough to be my little sidekick
sous-chef it's gonna be so fun cooking
with her okay this is starting to boil
so we'll just give it a stir and it'll
come together in probably about five
minutes when you're making oatmeal you
don't have to babysit it but it's
important to kind of stir it around
every so often so that the oats don't
stick to the bottom of the pot and burn
I like the consistency of my oatmeal
like this cuz as you pour it out and it
cools it tends to get thicker and I
don't like that this looks perfect so
I'm gonna take it off heat and show you
how I serve it with my oatmeal I'll just
divide it into two bowls one for me one
for me alright now I'm gonna add our
veggies on top
[Music]
good old kale and mushrooms Nate doesn't
like mushrooms so more for me but as you
can see when I set the veggies aside it
extracted a little bit of the juice when
it cooled down so I'm just gonna add it
to the oatmeal and then I'm also going
to add a tiny little more soy sauce to
each bowl mushrooms are like sponges
where it just soaks up all the flavor
and sauce so I need a little bit extra
and finally the piece de resistance
I've already cooked up some soft-boiled
eggs if you guys want to learn how to
make these soft-boiled eggs I have a
video on that and depending on how you
like it
soft-boiled hard-boiled runny boils I
have it all so I'll link it in the
endcard later but I'm just gonna crack
it and add it to the bowl peeling
hard-boiled eggs can sometimes be a
challenge so I always make sure to crack
the bottom where the air bubbles at and
then peel it off from there
if you steam your eggs though it's a lot
easier to peel then if you were to boil
it in water
if I sit hard-boiled earlier I met
soft-boiled you just have to be very
very ginger when peeling the shells but
let me go ahead and cut it open for you
so you can see the egg just ooze out all
right let's give it a try I almost want
to say this is better than any sweet
oatmeal that I've ever had this is
amazing the creaminess from the egg that
just oozes out creating this beautiful
like eggy sauce paired with the umami
news from the portobello mushrooms and
kale and the oatmeal is just perfectly
cooked I could definitely eat this every
morning and feel good it's like a
energizing meal if Kalin portobello
mushrooms aren't your thing then I have
another savory oatmeal that I did last
year using cheddar cheese bacon and eggs
that one is pretty bomb too I hope you
