Directions

  1. Fill a small saucepan with water, add the eggs, and bring to a boil over high heat; reduce to a simmer and cook for 4 minutes, then cool the eggs under cold water or with ice.
  2. In a separate small saucepan, add a pinch of salt and the broth, bring to a boil, then stir in the oats, lower the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer 3–5 minutes until creamy.
  3. While the oats cook, rinse the cilantro and green onions, and pat dry.
  4. Trim the ends of the green onions, then slice them crosswise into 1/4-inch pieces at a slight angle.
  5. Separate cilantro leaves from the stems, discard the stems, and mince the leaves.
  6. Halve and pit the avocado, slice it thinly still in the skin, then scoop out the slices.
  7. Peel and halve the soft-boiled eggs.
  8. Spoon the oatmeal into bowls, top with the eggs, avocado, green onions, and cilantro; finish with sesame oil, sesame seeds, and a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.

Two tips

  • Make ahead: boil the eggs ahead and refrigerate peeled for up to 1 day.
  • Serving idea: swap cilantro for parsley or add a small drizzle of sesame oil from the pantry if you like.
