Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 teaspoon garlic
- ½ cup onions chopped lengthwise
- ¼ cup carrot chopped lengthwise
- ½ cup cabbage chopped lengthwise
- ¼ teaspoon soya sauce
- ¾ teaspoon pepper powder
- salt to taste
- water as needed
Instructions
- Dry roast oats until slightly golden and a nutty aroma comes.
- Sprinkle 2 tablespoon water cook covered for few mins then fluff it, Do not pour more water just sprinkle and cook. This is the key to to cook oats without turning mushy.
- Repeat this until oats is cooked soft yet grains remain separate. Set aside to cool.
- Heat oil in a pan - add crushed garlic and saute for a minute.
- Then add onion saute till transparent. Add carrot and cabbage. Saute for few mins until it shrinks.
- Add capsicum toss and cook for few mins. Do not let the crunchiness go so just toss and cook. Add soya sauce.
- Add pepper powder and required salt. Cook in high flame for a minute, toss well.
- Finally add cooked oats and toss it. Mix well and switch off.
- Add more pepper powder if needed.
- Serve Fried Oats hot with tomato sauce!
Notes
- Roasting – I dry roast oats until it smells nutty, this step really changes the final flavour and texture.
- Water – Sprinkle water in small amount rather than pouring it in one go, pouring too much is main reason oats turn mushy.
- Vegetables texture – Cook them on a high flame for couple of minutes so they still have some bite left when serving.
- Cooling – I let cooked oats sit for a few minutes before adding to the pan, it tosses together much more easily this way.
- Oats choice – Quick cooking oats work in pinch but rolled oats give firmer, less mushy result, so that is usually the better choice.
- Tasting – Everyone has different spice tolerance, so it helps to taste once before adding more pepper at end.
