How to cook barley in a rice cooker
Cooking barley in a rice cooker could not be any easier. It is a simple and hands-off method.
Cost: $1
Equipment
- 1 rice cooker
Ingredients
- 1 cup pearl barley
- 2 cups liquid- you can use water or broth
- ½ teaspoon salt, less if using a salty broth
Instructions
- Add the barley, liquid, and salt to your rice cooker. Set it to cook on brown rice if your machine has that setting. Mine does not, I only have the on and off. If your machine is like me, set it to cook.
- Once the time goes off, the barley should be tender, but not mushy. It can be served right away or cooled slightly.
