Instructions
- [Authentic & Quick Recipe]
- [Utilizing Leftover Soup] After eating Luwei (made with Quick & Budget recipe) like daikon, Atsuage, mushrooms, don't discard the 'soup infused with five-spice and ingredient umami' left in the bowl.
- [Oatmeal Drop] Dump 3-
- tbsp (preferred amount) of super's 'instant oatmeal (quick oats)' into the leftover soup (~100-150ml).
- [Risotto-fication via Microwave Magic] Mix lightly so oatmeal absorbs soup, microwave (600W) uncovered for '1-
- mins'. Heating melts oatmeal starch, instantly changing thin soup into gooey 'supreme Chinese-style risotto (or congee)'.
- [Finishing Flavor] Remove from microwave, drizzle a few drops of sesame oil, scatter chopped scallions or white sesame if any to finish. A demonically delicious closer where grain absorbed every drop of meat/veg extracts.

Trivia
[For Youth] #28 'Weight-loss ingredient'. Taiwan Luwei stall closer is absolutely 'Wangzi Mian (instant noodles)', but its massive carbs/oil make dieters substitute with this 'oatmeal'. Absorbs soup umami faster than instant noodles and keeps you full, the ultimate lifehack satisfying desires guilt-free as a night snack closer.
Eating tips & etiquette
[Unique Eating] Top with 1 'melting cheese' before microwaving, making 'Chaotic Taiwan Cheese Risotto' mingling five-spice aroma and cheese richness!
