Oats count as a gluten cereal under UK labelling and ordinary oats are milled alongside wheat. Certified gluten-free oats are a separate ingredient here.
Miso made with barley carries gluten. White rice miso does not.

Flags follow UK labelling rules and come from the ingredients as listed, not from any particular brand. Check the packet before cooking for somebody with an allergy.

Ingredients

Rolled oats40 g
Dry weight.
Water300 ml
White miso paste1 tbsp (18 g)
Off the heat. It seasons the whole bowl, so no salt goes in.
Egg1 large, about 55 g
Spring onion20 g, sliced
Sesame seeds1 tsp (4 g)
Chilli flakesA pinch

Method

Lower the egg into boiling water for six and a half minutes, then straight into cold water. Peel it once it is cool enough to hold.
Simmer the oats in the water for five minutes, stirring, until thick.
Off the heat, loosen the miso in a spoonful of the hot porridge and stir it through.
Halve the egg onto the oats and finish with the spring onion, sesame seeds and chilli flakes.

Worth knowing

Miso goes in off the heat because boiling it flattens the flavour. One tablespoon does the job of salt and more.
Six and a half minutes from boiling gives a yolk set at the edge and still runny in the middle. Straight into cold water or it keeps cooking.
