    The Philippine topping of coffee being too strong might have been because the 'standard' instant coffee here in the Philippines tends to be something called '3 in 1' which is powdered milk/creamer, instant coffee and sugar and dissolves almost immediately with any form of moisture.

    I grew up mostly eating my oatmeal with butter, cinnamon, and brown sugar! Not long ago I found a maple pecan butter that tastes great mixed into oatmeal. When I'm feeling more like savory oatmeal I like to add a little shredded cheddar and a seasoning mix from Penzey's spices called Justice which mostly tastes like onion. Sometimes I might add a little dill too which makes it taste like cheesy dill bread!

      Mandatory that you’re super generous with the amount of milo.
      Otherwise another Aussie tradition that every kid has done at one point or another is making milo paste. Heaps of milo! Like let’s be real it can vary from a 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup depending how your day was and a couple of table spoons of cold milk then stir until a think paste. Is okay if it’s lumpy.
      But a milo episode would definitely be something to consider as it’s very popular drink in various Asian countries also.

    I’m glad there were so many savory ones! I discovered “savory oats” last year and it was an eye opener. I feel like most Americans see oatmeal as strictly sweet. Some of my faves are cocoa powder, peanut butter, and topped with either strawberries or bananas (if I have them on hand), I also love topping oats with Greek yogurt and fresh fruit- the yogurt really makes it. And for savory I also like treating it like congee so sautéed mushrooms, green onions, sesame oil and seeds, and fried egg is really good. But this gave me some great ideas to try!

      Oh beryl i think the reason why people added the coffee and milo is because a tiny bit of coffee would make it taste more like chocolate. I usually add that to my milo. Maybe next time you should dissolve it some hot water first, add that to the oatmeal, and finally add milo

To be fair it's probably not much more work to actually make the real thing...

    Can you do leftover pasta next (ex. elbow macaroni, penne, etc)? OR, what else to put on instant Mac n cheese? (I have small kids so mac n cheese is frequently in our rotation… I often put frozen green peas in at the end of the cooking time for the pasta to give it a little more nutrition). Wondering what other combos might be good

    • @nilsschenkel7149
      @nilsschenkel7149 2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      You might like danish pasta casserole; I guess you could prepare mac´n cheese with the same ingredients as well. You stack alternating layers of leftover noodles you mixed with dices of ham, peas and baby carrots (where I live you can get cans of precooked peas and carrots) with grated cheese in a greased casserole and then pour over it a mixture of eggs and milk, like thin scrambled eggs. You can leave out the egg mixture, but then a lot more cheese is necessary to keep it from falling apart if you put a piece on a plate. It´s ready if the egg mix is fully set and the cheese melted, which takes an hour plus/minus 15mins on 350F. Depending on your oven you might want to cover the top with tinfoil to prevent the top layer of pasta from drying out in the corners.

    At the end, you said "it's cool to think outside our own boxes of what is a 'good' topping". When I watch this series, I actually think the opposite. I look at oatmeal and think "breakfast porridge". It's not savoury, it's not exactly sweet, it's just a plain base for my fruit or yogurt. When I watched this video, my perception expanded and I have now unlocked oatmeal as a complex base for toppings I didn't even give a second thought to before. I can put literally anything I want on it now. The oatmeal broke out of the box, not the toppings. Food for thought!
