Steel Cut Oats For Dinner: Turmeric Porridge with Kimchi and Fried Egg

Steel cut oats for dinner? Why not? Oat is really just another whole grain. And steel cut oats, oats that have been chopped up rather than rolled, have a texture reminiscent of other grains that have been slow cooked.

We’re featuring this particular oat recipe because it takes the aphrodisiac of oats and layers it with other libido boosting ingredients. We can’t resist a recipe layered with chile and turmeric and topped with a super-sensual poached egg, (yet another aphrodisiac ingredient).
