The ‘Oatbed’ Breakfast: A Savory Start with Tanjong Sauce®
Breakfast in Penang is a beautiful thing. Half-boiled eggs. Dark soy sauce. White pepper. A sprinkle of crunchy fried shallots. Toast on the side. It’s simple, it’s comforting, and it’s the perfect start to a day of eating your way around the island.
But what if we told you that you could take that same energy — and give it a Tanjong Sauce® upgrade?
The Savory Oats Trend
Savory oatmeal has taken the health and wellness world by storm. Instead of cinnamon and brown sugar, you season your oats with soy sauce, sesame oil, spices, and toppings like eggs, scallions, and chili crisp. It’s high in fiber, keeps you full for hours, and is infinitely customizable.
Our version uses Tanjong Sauce® as the primary seasoning — because why settle for boring when you can have Penang in a bowl?
Recipe: Tanjong Savory Oats
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup rolled oats (not instant)
- 1 cup water or vegetable broth
- 1 large egg
- 1 tbsp Tanjong Sauce®
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- Toppings: chopped spring onions, fried shallots, soft-boiled egg, cucumber slices
Method: Cook the oats in water or broth according to package directions. When almost done, crack an egg into the pot and stir vigorously to create silky egg ribbons through the oats. Remove from heat and stir in Tanjong Sauce® and sesame oil. Transfer to a bowl and top with spring onions, fried shallots, a soft-boiled egg, and cucumber slices.
The result is a warm, savory, slightly spicy bowl of comfort that tastes nothing like your childhood oatmeal — and everything like Penang.
Simple Upgrade 2: Tanjong Toast
Toast a slice of sourdough or gardenia bread. Spread with butter. Top with jammy soft-boiled eggs (7-minute eggs work best). Drizzle with Tanjong Sauce® and finish with white pepper.
This is the Penang kaya toast experience, but with a spicy-savory twist instead of sweet coconut jam. The runny yolk mixed with Tanjong Sauce® creates a sauce that you’ll want to mop up with every last crumb.
Why Breakfast Matters
Starting your day with bold flavors sets the tone. Instead of a sugar spike followed by a crash, you get steady energy from protein, fiber, and healthy fats. And with Tanjong Sauce®, you get the added bonus of capsaicin — which may boost metabolism and improve circulation.
