Healthy Soft Oatmeal Bread

 

I have baked quite a lot of Oatmeal Bread/Buns/Rolls from different recipe sources.  This time around I  came across this recipe from 'Delicious Basics' which uses quick cook oats, than the usual rolled oats.  I bought myself a packet of quick cook oats and without wasting much time, I baked this delicious and healthy soft oatmeal bread.

The full recipe can be obtain from this link here.

I am most happy to share some of the photos which I captured throughout the process of baking this healthy bread.

Methods:

1. In a medium heated wok, add sesame oil and 1 tablespoon cooking oil.  Stir-fry chicken until lightly browned.  Remove onto a plate and set aside.

3. Return the chicken to the pan.  Add light soy sauce and oyster sauce, give it a quick stir to mix all the ingredients.  Add water and let it cook for a few more minutes.  Then mix in the cornflour slurry, stir to mix until the sauce slightly thickens.
4. Dish onto a plate and dinner is served with a plate of freshly cooked fluffy rice.
