Butternut Squash & Ginger Variation
  1. Incorporate 1 cup of cubed butternut squash, 1 tablespoon of grated fresh ginger, and 1 minced garlic clove into the porridge during the last 15 minutes of simmering.
  2. Drizzle in 1 tablespoon of tamari before serving and garnish with scallions, toasted sesame oil, or pepitas.
Miso & Avocado Variation
  1. Stir in 2 tablespoons of white miso paste into the thickened porridge, ensuring it dissolves completely.
  2. Adjust texture with extra water or milk if needed, and serve warm topped with avocado slices and garnishes.
