Oatmeal for New Years

I've been eating a lot of oatmeal lately. It's easy to keep on hand, inexpensive, and I like it.

I'm using instant oatmeal and just pouring boiling water over it since I am not using the kitchen here in my Kuala Lumpur condo. I have a kettle in my room to boil water, and that is good enough.

I usually doctor my oatmeal up quite a bit. Here is how I make it when I have all of these ingredients.

Chop fresh ginger root finely and cover with boiling water to soften.

Add a cracked raw egg to the ginger root and stir after a bit. It cooks in the water.

Add chopped seaweed, turmeric, black pepper, cinnamon, sea salt.

Add oatmeal in a couple of batches and stir. Add more boiling water as needed, but keep it thick.

Add Thai holy basil seeds and let bloom

Add raw honey or brown sugar.

Squeeze lime juice on top.

Taste test and eat!
