You can substitute chicken breast with shrimp or tofu for a different protein source.
Adjust the water quantity based on your preferred porridge consistency—more water for a thinner porridge, less for a thicker one.
For added flavor, drizzle a bit of sesame oil before serving.
Can I use instant oats instead of rolled oats?

How can I make this recipe vegetarian?
Replace the chicken breast with tofu or mushrooms and skip the marination step.
Can I prepare this porridge in advance?
Yes, you can prepare it in advance and reheat it. Add a bit of water while reheating to restore the consistency.
What other vegetables can I use in this porridge?
You can add vegetables like peas, spinach, or zucchini for variety.
How do I store leftovers?
