I sometimes crave ‘Zōsui’ (a Japanese Rice Soup), especially when I am unwell. On the other day I did crave it, but I had no leftover cooked rice to make it. I didn’t bother cooking rice for it. Then I decided to use Oats, that can be cooked quickly. The porridge was delicious and I wondered why I had never tried it before. I think Miso is better than Soy Sauce for seasoning this porridge. For its creaminess, I recommend White Miso.
