Barley is a nutty grain that Koreans have been using for centuries. We usually mix it with rice or make tea from it.
Recipe for barley rice:
Ingredients:
1 cup of uncooked rice, 1 cup of barley and 2½ cups of water
Directions:
- Combine rice and barley to a thick pot and wash and drain the rice a couple of times. Drain the rice.
- Add 2½ cups water. Covered. Set it aside on the kitchen counter for 30 minutes. Bring it to a boil over medium high heat for about 8-10 minutes until it boils.
- Stir with a spoon a few times. Covered. Cook another 15- 20 minutes over low heat to simmer. Open the lid and fluff the rice with a wooden spoon. Serve with side dishes.
This barley is split barley, called halmaek.
Any recipes that use rolled barley?
Can I use pearled barley for this recipe?
yes, you can. I sometimes use it too.
can i use pressed barley?
Thanks for the recipe on this page – I used it to make my rice last night and it was delicious – such a nice change from just rice. I do have a question though Maangchi: do you ever put salt in your rice when you are cooking it?
우와! 망치의 보리밥 만드는 방법을 발견하네요! 기분이 참 좋습니다! 내일 설날 음식을 위해 보리밥을 꼭 준비하겠어요! ^__^
I have a couple of request for you. I was wondering if you could show me how to make the split mung bean pancakes with pork and fernbrake and also the split mung bean stew bee-gee-gigae with kimchi and pork as well.
Thank you so much!
Here’s a link to a bin-dae-duk recipe:

I like the pancakes on maangchi, but these are different. Also, this recipe does not have pork the article points out – so, less fatty eating.

Sorry I have no idea about your question, but I think it depends on your choice.
