Good basic Okayu recipe, can be made sweet as well as savoury; good if you are feeling under the weather :)

I tried this with American rice and no sesame seed; I was expecting rice soup but ended up with something with the flavor of rice and the mouth feel of oatmeal -- wonderful! Can't wait to try again with my next bag of Botan. Seems to me a logical add-in would be minced dried seaweed of some sort.
