Ingredients
- White Cabbage 0 lbs

- Onion ½ heads
- Rice Vinegar for Sushi 5 fl oz
- Vegetable Oil 0 fl oz
- Sugar 1 tablespoon
- Salt to taste
- Ground Black Pepper to taste
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Cook the pearl barley (or better yet, spelt if you have it) in salted water for twenty minutes; it’s not necessary to cook it all the way through at this stage. This barley will still need to warm up later.
Step 2
Cut the cabbage head in half (removing the core) and then into large pieces (about 5–7 cm on each side).
Step 3
Melt butter in a deep skillet, then add a splash of vegetable oil and sauté a finely chopped half of an onion. Next, add pieces of cabbage to the skillet, taking care not to let them fall apart into separate leaves. Cover and simmer the cabbage on low heat for about thirty minutes. Then, add three-quarters cooked pearl barley to the skillet, pour in a mixture of sushi vinegar and sugar, and season with salt and pepper. Allow it to simmer for another twenty to thirty minutes.
Step 4
Serve cold or hot.
