soo… searched, watched youtubes, but I’m kinda stumped. how do I cook these? also, do I pre-wash them?
everything is either steel-cut or rolled, I ain’t got none of those, just normal, whole-grain oats. I don’t own nor need a rice cooker, just want the the normal, on-the-stove type of deal.
first run was cup of oats, three cups of water, bring to boil, turn off, leave for an coupla hours. result - it’s cooked but there’s extra water, so I’m guessing next try is two cups water instead, and maybe a shorter rest period.
I’d like to pre-cook an amount and then use it for a couple of days. I’d also prefer to not season it, as I can then use it with both salty and fruity dishes.
One part grain, two parts water, salt to taste (or soy sauce for tastier taste).
Bring to boil, then let it simmer on the smallest flame your stove can do. Keep the lid covered. When you stop hearing boiling noise, it’s ready. Takes around 30-40 minutes, if it cooks longer you’re probably using too much water.
Basically, prepare it like buckwheat. No need to pre-soak it, oat grain is soft enough that you can chew it unboiled. Washing before boiling is up to personal preferences, it’s gonna boil so it’s sterile by default.
