Why This Dish Is So Satisfying
A warm and comforting way to enjoy oatmeal with a spicy twist. It combines savory flavors and a hint of heat that wakes up your taste buds. Plus, making it in the Instant Pot® saves time and effort.
Step 1
Ad the chicken broth, water, oats, soy sauce, a tablespoon of Sriracha, rosemary, and garlic into your Instant Pot or any pressure cooker you have. Give everything a good stir to combine, then close the lid and lock it in place. Set the cooker to high pressure and let it cook for 5 minutes. It’ll take about 10 to 15 minutes for the pressure to build up before the timer starts.
Step 2
Once the cooking time is up, carefully release the pressure using the quick-release method. When it’s safe, open the lid and give the oatmeal a gentle stir.
Step 3
While the oatmeal is cooking, melt some butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Crack in the eggs and cook them until the edges start to look set, about a minute. Then cover the pan, turn the heat down to low, and let the eggs cook until the whites are fully set but the yolks are still a bit runny—around 4 minutes.
Step 4
Divide the oatmeal between two bowls, top each with a fried egg, and finish with a drizzle of the remaining Sriracha. Enjoy!

Great Ways To Serve
Serve with a soft-boiled egg or avocado slices for extra creaminess and protein. A sprinkle of chopped green onions or fresh cilantro adds brightness. Pair it with a side of steamed vegetables or a crisp salad to balance the spice.
How To Refrigerate This Dish
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or microwave, adding a splash of water or broth to loosen the texture if needed. Avoid freezing, as the oats may become too mushy.
