Gentle Ginger Egg Drop Oats

Instructions

1. 1

   In a small saucepan, combine the rolled oats, water, and a tiny pinch of salt if using, then let the oats sit in the water for 3–4 minutes to soften while you prepare the other ingredients.

2. 2

   In a separate bowl, beat the eggs thoroughly until completely smooth and no streaks remain, then set aside; in another small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with the grated ginger until evenly combined.

3. 3

   Place the saucepan with oats over medium-low heat and cook, stirring often, for 5–7 minutes until the oats are soft and the mixture is gently simmering but not vigorously boiling.

4. 4

   Reduce the heat to low, then slowly drizzle the beaten eggs into the simmering oats in a thin stream while stirring gently and continuously to create soft egg ribbons; cook for 1–2 more minutes until the egg is just set and the mixture looks creamy.

5. 5

   Remove the pan from the heat and let it sit for 1–2 minutes to cool slightly, which helps reduce smell intensity and makes it easier on a sensitive stomach.

6. 6

   Gently fold in the ginger yogurt and mashed or very thinly sliced banana until just combined; taste and add a small drizzle of honey if you tolerate a bit of sweetness.

7. 7

   Divide into two small bowls and serve warm, not piping hot, allowing it to cool to a comfortable temperature before eating to further reduce nausea triggers.
