Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | cup | Uncooked pearl barley |
| 1 | tablespoon | Vegetable oil or olive oil |
| 1½ | tablespoon | Onion(s), diced |
| ½ | cup | Mushrooms, diced |
| ¼ | cup | Zucchini, diced |
| ¼ | cup | Carrots, diced |
| 1 | tablespoon | Soy sauce |

Directions
In a 2-quart saucepan, combine the barley with 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to keep the water at a low boil until the barley is cooked, about 20 minutes. Stir occasionally while the barley is cooking to prevent it from sticking. Drain.
In an 8-inch skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion, mushrooms, zucchini, and carrots. Saut, stirring often, until lightly browned and just cooked, about 5 minutes. Add the cooked barley and stir to combine.
Season with soy sauce and serve immediately.
