Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp oil I used olive oil, but can use whatever you have on hand. Sesame oil, Canola oil .. etc
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 1/2 tsp ginger powder
  • 1/2 tsp cumin powder
  • 2 tbsps soy sauce + 1 tbsp soy sauce used in two separate steps
  • 1/2 green pepper sliced in stir fry strips (slice strips in half for a smaller slice)
  • 1/4 red onion sliced in stir fry strips/style
  • 1/4 cup green onions chopped (separated into half, set one half aside for later)
  • 1 6 oz package of sliced white mushrooms washed and drained
  • 1 tbsp schezwan chutney + 1/2 tbsp schezwan chutney used in two separate steps
  • 1/2 tbsp Huy Fong Chili Garlic sauce
  • 1 8.8 oz z packet of Barley and Lentils from whole foods

Optional: (for additional spice)

  • 1 tsp siracha sauce

Instructions

  1. On medium heat, heat oil in a large saucepan or a wok, until it begins to sizzle. Add in minced garlic, ginger, cumin and mix. Allow to incorporate with the oil for 30 seconds. Next add in: green peppers, onions, green onions and mushrooms. Mix together. Next add in soy sauce, schezwan chutney and chili garlic sauce. Mix and allow all ingredients to incorporate. Cover and allow to cook for 3-4 minutes. Stirring in between. Mushrooms will release water, as well as the liquid from the soy sauce and chutneys. You want all the veggies and the liquids to incorporate. You want liquid, this is the sauce for the Barley and Lentils.
  2. Once vegetables have cooked, add in packet of Barley and Lentils. Add in addition 1/2 tbsp of soy sauce and schezwan chutney. First do a taste test and see if you would like more. At this point you can add in siracha sauce, black pepper and red pepper flakes. ( Note: I let the vegetables cook covered for 4 minutes and then a minute or so uncovered, until just tender. Then I add in the grains) Mix Barley and Lentils together with the vegetables. Allow to cook for another 3-5 minutes. I like the grains well done so I let them cook covered for 3 minutes and then uncovered for another 3 or so minutes.
  3. Sprinkle the reserved green onions on top and enjoy!
