Mushroom Oats Caldo

Warm vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Sauté red onion, ginger, garlic (minced), ground turmeric (if using), and a few pinches of  salt and pepper until softened, about 7 minutes.

Add red bell pepper, fresh mushrooms, quick or rolled oats, and water. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat; lower heat and simmer, partially covered, until oats are cooked, about 10 minutes.

Once cooked, remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon calamansi juice. Garnish with fried tofu strips, fried garlic, and leeks.
