Recipe

Pour 500ml of water (2.5 paper cups) into a pot, add an appropriate amount of finely chopped fresh kimchi, and turn on the heat.
Add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce to balance the overall flavor, and wait until the broth begins to boil.
Once the broth starts boiling, check the seasoning and add a small amount of salt if it's too bland to suit your taste.
When the broth has simmered slightly, add the prepared original oats and stir well.
As the oats absorb the broth and quickly thicken into a porridge-like consistency, turn off the heat.
Transfer the finished porridge into a bowl and generously top with tuna from the can.
Drizzle a little sesame oil and sprinkle sesame seeds on top to enhance the rich aroma and finish.

In a pot, combine water, fresh kimchi, and soy sauce; bring to a light boil, adjusting seasoning with salt if needed.
Once boiling, add original oats and stir continuously until the mixture thickens.
Serve in a bowl, top with tuna, and finish with a drizzle of sesame oil and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.

Cooking tips

Always use plain, unflavored 'original (plain)' oats to avoid clashing with the kimchi broth.
Since the kimchi is boiled directly in water instead of being sautéed in oil, preparation is much simpler and lower in calories.
For a different flavor profile, substitute tuna with shredded chicken breast or add a bit of minced garlic for another diet-friendly variation.
