Yes this recipe works great cooked with either method. So use the one that's the easiest for you. To cook on the stove, bring the four cups of water to a boil. Then add the veggies and cook for two minutes before adding the oats. Cook the oats for about 5 minutes or until tender and the consistency you prefer. Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder and nutritional yeast, then add salt and pepper to taste.
