Green Curry Oatmeal

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon coconut oil or olive oil
  
• 1/2 teaspoon green curry paste (homemade or store-bought), plus more to taste
  
• 2/3 cup water (or replace half the water with coconut milk, if desired)
  
• 1/3 cup rolled oats (you could use steel cut, but you'll have to adjust the cooking time)
  
• 1 pinch salt
  
• 1 tablespoon toasted, shredded coconut
  
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar, or to taste
  

Directions

1. In a small pot, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat until it has melted, then stir in the curry paste and cook until it starts to sizzle, a minute or so.
2. Add the water and bring to a boil. Stir in the oats and pinch of salt, turn the heat down to low and cook, stirring frequently, until thick, about 5 to 7 minutes. Spoon into a bowl and top generously with toasted coconut and brown sugar.
