👩🍳 Instructions
- 1 The night before, combine the oats, milk, chicken bouillon powder, garlic powder, and ground pepper in an airtight meal prep container. Stir well.
- 2 Add the shredded chicken, grated carrot, corn kernels, and scallion to the oat mixture. Stir again until everything is evenly combined.
- 3 Add the soy sauce and sesame oil, stir briefly to bring out the savory aroma. Taste and adjust the salt if needed.
- 4 Seal the container tightly and refrigerate overnight (at least 6–8 hours) so the oats absorb the liquid and turn soft and creamy, like porridge.
- 5 The next morning before heading to work, add the fresh cucumber pieces on top so they stay crunchy (don't mix them in the night before, or they'll go soggy).
- 6 Place the halved boiled egg on top of the oats, and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds if desired. Close the container again, and it's ready to take to the office.
- 7 When you're ready to eat, this savory oat dish can be enjoyed cold straight from the office fridge, or warmed briefly in the microwave for 30–45 seconds if you prefer it hot.
💡 Tips
• Prepare several servings at once at the start of the week (meal prep) and store them in the fridge for up to 3 days to save time in the morning.
• Swap the chicken for canned tuna or shredded bacem tofu (Indonesian sweet-savory braised tofu) for a different protein variation each day.
• Always add crunchy ingredients like cucumber or lettuce in the morning—don't mix them in the night before, or they'll wilt.
• Use a truly airtight glass or food-grade plastic container so the oats don't spill and stay fresh while being carried around.
