Oatmeal with Tofu is a healthy breakfast alternative to more traditional oatmeal with cream and sugar. This savory version has plenty of delicious Japanese flavors such as Dashi and tofu, and it’s still very quick and easy to make. It’s almost like soup because that’s how I like it, but if you prefer it thicker, reduce the amount of water (you may want to reduce some of the seasonings too). Oatmeal has many health benefits such as lowering cholesterol and controlling blood sugar. It also contains a lot of fiber and keeps you feeling full until the next meal. Tofu is a great source of healthy protein, and Wakame offers various minerals. Overall, Oatmeal with Tofu is a healthy choice for breakfast. Hope you give it a try!
