Directions

Add the oats, broth, and soy sauce to a sauce pan over high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer until the oatmeal is tender, about 10 minutes.
-
Coat a small nonstick sauté pan with cooking spray. Add the mushrooms and sauté until tender and all liquid is evaporated, about 4 minutes. Add the lime juice and sauté until the liquid has evaporated. Stir the mushrooms into the oatmeal porridge.
-
Clean the sauté pan, then add cooking spray. Fry the eggs until the yolks are just set.
-
In a bowl, pour in 3/4 cup oatmeal porridge, top with a fried egg, and 1 1/2 Tsp. scallions and cilantro. Repeat for the remaining 3 bowls.
