Soldato
I make it regularly with 50g from a 1kg bag of supermarket own Scottish rolled oats which tastes exactly the same as Quakers. As per the instructions on the bag, I add 300ml of milk per 50g of oats. In my case it's semi skimmed. I add a largish pinch of salt and a dessert spoon or so of sugar and microwave it for about 2 and a half minutes. I add sliced banana or dried apricots. The apricots work particularly nicely.
Recipes are varied. Some say milk and water half and half, one says add 350ml of milk and/or water to 50g of oats, and Jamie Oliver adds only water. I'm thinking of doing 50/50 with water next time. My porridge is nice but always comes out a bit thick and stodgy. Probably because I over microwave it and it probably needs that extra 50ml of milk or water.
