Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Kirsten Shockey has included this recipe, originally from South River Miso, in her 30-day Fermentation Challenge and also in her Miso book. Katz acknowledges the source too. It is extremely interesting how the miso causes the oats to ferment overnight and sweetens the oats. This will become a regular, I think. You can also find the recipe on the South River Miso website, with a variation that blends it for a creamy oat milk drink.
