Breakfast has always been such a CHORE! At home, it was easier for me to eat nothing for breakfast. I didn’t like cold food in the morning, e.g. yoghurt with oats (yay fibre!) and I really don’t want to spend time cooking too much aka frying eggs. Nani?!

So I finally settled on pouring hot water into rolled oats (not instant oats) and adding sugar. It’s kinda uninspiring and not very appetising, but it sufficed.

I did feel that rolled oats didn’t keep me full for long, but I thought it was because I ate too little of it. This meant that I was dang hungry BEFORE lunch. Boo. A friend told me that this was true for her too, so I thought, maybe this isn’t the breakfast for me.

When my TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) doctor suggested I eat an egg for breakfast, I groaned inwardly. Hard boiled egg tastes BLEURGH to me and I wasn’t keen on too much cooking effort. Until a Tiktok video showed people cooking cracked eggs in the microwave.

THAT WAS AMAZING! It took some trial and error, and… now I’m happy as a clam eating egg for breakfast. The egg looks like an omelette and is very slightly runny. From egg out of fridge, beating it, adding salt and pepper, microwave, all adds up to 5 minutes. Another 5 minutes for me to eat it. 10 minutes of breakfast and my belly is satisfied!

I can have this before heading to office next time, or even make it in office!
