Oats are Ideal in SEA Cuisines!
hole grains are an essential food group in our daily
diet. One excellent example of whole grains is oat.
WBeing a whole grain, oat provides the best source of
carbohydrates for our daily energy needs. It is also a great source
of micronutrients and phytonutrients that are vital for various
body functions, and rich in dietary fibre that are important for our
digestive health. Incorporating our diet with more oats and whole
grains is a major leap forward in our healthy eating journey.
The great thing is, oat is a versatile ingredient that can be simply
adapted in all kinds of meals. From a fulfilling breakfast to a
wholesome lunch and ending with a hearty dinner, oat can be
used in meals throughout the day. It is also suitable for making
delicious desserts or savoury snacks. Oat can also be easily
incorporated in traditional cuisines of Southeast Asian (SEA)
countries. This is one way to make oat more acceptable to the
people in the region. Including more oats in our meals will not
only be beneficial for our health, but will also make our food taste
better and make us satisfied longer!
50 different recipes from Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam
and the Philippines are compiled in this cookbook to illustrate
different ways of incorporating oat in our meals. Based on
traditional dishes commonly offered in each country, these
recipes include oat as one of the main ingredients to enrich their
nutritional values. The variety of recipes presented here proves
that oat is suitable for people of all ages, and not just for the
elderlies and sick people.

Message from Editor-in-chief
Grains serve as the main source of energy and nutrition for
people in the Southeast Asian region. However, majority of the
population prefer to consume polished or refined grains rather
than whole grains. Even though it has been well-established that
whole grains are packed with nutrients and phytonutrients and
provide a myriad of health benefits, the consumption of whole grains
remain low in the region. This is probably due to insufficient understanding
of the health benefits of whole grains and lack of promotion through official
dietary guidelines.
In cognisance with the persistence of under-nutrition and an epidemic of non-
communicable diseases related to over-nutrition in the region, there is a dire
need to intensify the promotion of healthy diet, including greater consumption
of whole grains. Toward this end, five professional bodies and academic
institutions in SEA, namely the Nutrition Society of Malaysia (NSM), Institute of
Nutrition Mahidol University, Nutrition Foundation of Philippines (NFP), Food
and Nutrition Society of Indonesia (PERGIZI PANGAN Indonesia) and Vietnam
Nutrition Association (VINUTAS) have teamed up and published a series of
cookbook focusing on the promotion of healthier food ingredients and the use
of healthier cooking methods.
The series of cookbook highlights the use of oats in local cuisines as an effort to
increase whole grain intake. The recipes in these cookbooks have been selected
from the diverse variety of traditional dishes and cuisines from the respective
countries of the five professional bodies and institutions. Oats are incorporated
into the dishes either by adding or replacing other ingredients so that the
taste of these dishes can be easily accepted by the population. Through these
dishes, it can be seen that oats is not just for the sick and elderly.
Volume 1, 2 and 3 of the Healthy Cooking with Oats cookbooks have been
published in 2017, 2018 and 2019 respectively. This year, we are pleased
to present to you the digital edition, with selected recipes from Indonesia,
Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam from the previous volumes.
With the publication of the series of cookbook, we hope more people will gain
understanding on the benefits of whole grains and discover the many ways to
include more of this wholesome food in the diet. Hopefully, this cookbook,
developed with an educational grant from the Pepsico Services Asia Ltd
(Quaker), will inspire more to enjoy cooking and learn that healthy cooking is
actually not difficult. Have fun trying out these oat-based recipes!

Whole Grains
in Our Diet
ince thousands of years ago, as human began cultivating crops,
we also started to consume whole grains. Whole grains became
Sthe main source of energy and staple foods for many population
groups all over the globe. However, as we progressed in agriculture and
food technology in the last century, refined grains and products based
on refined grains became more popular as staple diet, probably due to
their longer shelf life and their supposed better taste and texture.
The main portion of diet for the population in most Southeast Asian
countries is made up of grains and grain-based products. Indeed,
the staple food in the region is rice, a type of grain. This follows the
recommendation of most dietary guidelines, which specifies rice and
other grains as the main source of energy by placing grains at the base
of the food pyramid. Despite that, nowadays whole grains only make
up a small percentage of our consumption, compared to our high
intake of refined grains and their products.
Fortunately, the health movement in recent years has renewed the
interest of the public in whole grains. Health authorities around the
world are also beginning to put more emphasis on promoting the
goodness of whole grains. The national dietary guidelines of several
countries in Southeast Asia recommend consumption of more whole
grains as part of an effort to combat the increasing prevalence of diet-
related illnesses in the region.

What are
Whole Grains?
Whole grains can be described as ‘complete’ grains
as they contain all three parts of grains, the bran,
endosperm and germ:
c Bran: the hard outer layer
of cereal grains containing
important phytonutrients,
Whole B vitamins, minerals, and
Grains dietary fibre
c Endosperm: the tissue
produced inside the grains
after seed fertilisation,
which contains starchy
carbohydrates, protein and
phytonutrients
c Germ: the reproductive
part of the grains that can
germinate into plants,
containing B vitamins,
vitamin E, phytonutrients,
and unsaturated fatty acids
On the contrary, refined grains have gone through the milling process. This removes
the bran and germ, thus losing the essential nutrients contained in both parts. Only
the endosperm is left in refined grains, which now consist of mostly carbohydrates
as well as some protein. Therefore, whole grains are more wholesome and
nutritious than refined grains. They are richer in dietary fibre, micronutrients
(vitamins and minerals), and phytonutrients (some with antioxidant properties).
It is obvious that whole grains are the better option!

Whole Grains,
Choose Oat
One great example of whole grains is oat. Most oat products
in the market are considered as whole grains as they still
retain the bran and germ even after processing. This keeps the
nutrient content intact. It is a multipurpose ingredient and can
be prepared quickly and easily. It is also suitable for different
kinds of dishes, from a hearty lunch to a light supper. No matter
sweet or savoury, oat can be used in any recipes and is perfect to
include in your daily diet to increase your intake of whole grains
to the recommended portion.
Variety of Oats in
the Market
A wide variety of oats and oat
products are available for you to
choose in the market. There are the
good old-fashioned oats, the chewier steel- There are also
cut oats, as well as the convenient quick oats non-whole grain
and instant oatmeal, which are all whole grains. varieties such

Quick-Cook Oats: Oat flakes are cut
into smaller pieces, steamed longer, and
rolled thinner to produce quick-cook oats.
Only around five minutes are needed to
cook this variety, so it is suitable for a quick
yet fulfilling meal. Old-fashioned oats can be
replaced with quick-cook oats in any recipes.
Choose Oat Old-Fashioned Oats: After steaming or
roasting whole oat groats, they are rolled into
flakes. Oats will last longer after going through
this process. Only ten to fifteen minutes are
needed to cook this variety. Use it for a simple
breakfast meal or to make granola bars,
cookies, muffins and other treats.
Instant Oatmeal: Cut oat groats are
precooked, dried, and then rolled to produce
instant oatmeal. The taste and texture is
almost similar to quick oats. Instant oatmeal
is quick and easy to prepare, and suitable as
beverages.
Steel-Cut Oats: Sharp metal blades are
used to cut oats into smaller pieces. Steel-cut
oats are not rolled and take longer time to
cook. They also have a tougher and chewier
texture. Another name for this variety is Irish
oatmeal. Use it for making porridge, meatloaf,
savoury congee, and stuffing.
Oat-Based Products: Various oat-
based products are available, ranging from
oat cookies, ready-to-eat oat cereals, oat
beverages, to oat snack bars. The variety
offered in the market made oats more
accessible and more interesting for everyone!

Incorporating versatile
oats in the diverse
Malaysian Cuisine
The diverse multi-ethnic population of Malaysia, comprising the
Malay, Chinese, Indian, and various indigenous ethnics in the
Peninsula, Sabah, and Sarawak, is reflected in the rich and wide-
ranging cuisines. Malaysians are proud of the wealth of their dishes
with various styles from different cultures. Malaysian dishes are also
famous for using numerous combinations of exotic herbs and spices,
such as turmeric, ginger, coriander, lemon grass, kaffir lime, curry
leaf, and others, which are sure to bring excitement to your
taste buds.
Being a versatile ingredient, oat can be adapted to most Malaysian
dishes with ease. For example, oat can be used together with flour
for the batter such as in our Lempeng Pisang Oat recipe. It is also
suitable as additional ingredients as shown in our Chicken Masala
with Oats and Bubur Lambuk Oat recipes. You can also use oat to
replace similarly-textured ingredients such as grated coconuts (such
as in the Solok Lada) or bread crumbs (example the Butter Milk
Prawn), to give you that extra crunch!
With these small yet significant changes, your meals will be more
fulfilling and you can get the benefits of whole grain from oat. The
adaptability of oat means that you can use it in any kinds of meals,
from main meals to savoury Masala Vadai. These recipes are sure to
attract people of all ages – from kids to adults – to try oat and make
them realise that it is not only for sick people. Try these recipes and
taste for yourself how oat can be added in the diverse dishes
of Malaysia.
