Asian Style Savoury Buckwheat Porridge

A Very pleasant, gluten free dish. The velvety texture of porridge is cut sharply with the crunchiness of the fresh cucumber, and the richness of the soy glazed mushroom, adding an Asian twist on the dish.

    Heat up 2 tablespoons of neutral oil in a pot on medium heat. Finely chop up onion, garlic and grate the ginger. Add everything to the pot along with a pinch of salt. Add coriander seeds and ground cloves powder and let it fry until soft. Give the mixture a little stir. Now, add peanut butter and miso paste and stir again. Let it cook for around 2 minutes.

    Add the buckwheat together to the pot with 2 cups of water. Bring everything to a boil and lower the heat to a simmer. Give it one last stir, cover the pot with a lid and simmer your porridge for around 20 minutes.

    Meanwhile, heat up the pan with 1 tablespoon of neutral oil on medium high heat. Roughly shred the oyster mushrooms with your hands and add them to the pan. Sprinkle them with salt and let them fry for around 2 minutes, mixing them once or twice. Add the glaze to the mushrooms and reduce it for around one minute. Take off heat and set aside. Meanwhile, check on your porridge by stirring it gently.
