Umami means "essence of deliciousness" in Japanese and this Miso Porridge offers just that.

For this recipe you will need:
- flaked cereals (e.g. oats, barley, spelt, buckwheat) 
- 1tsp miso paste
- seaweed
- green veg of your choice (see below) 
- handful(s) of Barley, Spelt & Walnut Granola

Method:
1) Soak your flaked cereals for minimum of 1 hour. Drain [feed water to plants] and tip into a saucepan. 
2) In a jug, stir together boiling water [ration of water to flaked cereals - 2:1), 1tsp miso paste, and seaweed (if using). Add to the saucepan and begin to simmer.
3) Optional add-ins: spring onion, mushroom, asparagus, coriander stalks, kale, spinach, coriander, peas, broccoli, courgette (think seasonal veg and herbs). Simmer all together until cooked and the liquid has absorbed. Season to taste.
4) Serve with herby garnish, a soft-boiled egg/tofu for extra heartiness and a generous handful of granola clusters for umami crunch.
