ingredients
- 1⁄2 lb ground pork
- 1 cup pearl barley
- 1 carrot, sliced
- 1⁄2 red pepper, diced
- 1 onion, diced
- 7 mushrooms, sliced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 cups water
- 1 tablespoon chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1⁄2 cup light coconut milk (optional)
- lime juice (to taste)
- Thai basil (if available)
directions
- Set rice cooker to "Quick Cook", or if you don't have that setting just turn on the rice cooker. Toss in veggies and sesame oil, closing cover in between chopping to keep the heat inside. Peek every few minutes and stir until veggies are soft.
- Add pork and cook until browned.
- Add rest of ingredients except coconut milk and lime juice and basil.
- Set to brown rice setting. If you don't have a brown rice setting, set it for white rice. When it finishes, check to ensure barley is cooked through. If barley is still too chewy, let it run another cycle. It should take about 40 minutes. If mixture is too dry, add a little more water.
- Add lime juice as basil to taste and serve.

Raleigh is my current home base, but I am from Philly and have also lived in South Florida. I love pastries and baking but I also do lots of fun shortcut dinners.
