Thai Curry Oats

You’re like, WHAT DID YOU JUST DO WITH THOSE POOR OATS.

I Thai Curried them. Are you mad at me? Or do you want to hug me?

Of course I got obnoxiously inspired. (shocker!)

So I made Thai Curry Oats for you. And I’m sort of freaking at how it turned out. It actually works. And it’s not obnoxious. You basically replace rice with oats. That’s it. That’s all. That’s all she oat. I mean wrote.

I kept it vegetarian, because I know we all need more meals like that in our faces. And you could honestly add in mushrooms, bean sprouts, whatever you feel like! For this night in my life, I needed simple and glorious. So simple and glorious it was.

You’ll heat a little bit of Thai curry paste in a big ol’ skillet, then add coconut milk to it. Two cans! This shows my love for you, right?

Then you’ll add in Quaker’s Old Fashioned Oats and let it simmer for a sec. Now, as hard as you can, throw in some red bell pepper and snow peas. Stir it all together and let it curry itself for about five minutes, until everything softens and begins to hum sweet ditties to you.

You’ll add lime juice. Cilantro sprigs. Scallion chunks. PEANUTS (hi, texture). And a delicate baby drizzle of hot chili oil. This is because I like my face to rain. You can always leave it off if you’re a sissy.

And this is what you’ll get. A heapin’ heapidy heap of oat-y, veggie-y curry delight.

Bright with flavor.

Silky with coconut essence.

Spicy with the chili oil.

Oats for days.

All set to fall straight into your face.

Giddy up.
