Barley, Edamame, and Broccoli Slaw
1 cup pearled barley
3 cups water
3/4 teaspoon salt
1-1 pounds bag frozen shelled edamame
1 packet broccoli slaw
Carrot Ginger Black Sesame Paste
2 carrots, peeled and chopped
1 bunch cilantro
1/2 cup black sesame seeds, toasted
2 tablespoons fresh ginger, chopped
2 tablespoons white miso paste
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown rice syrup
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon honey
2 teaspoons mirin
Sriacha or homemade Rooster Sauce to taste (optional)

1
Bring the water and barley to a boil in a medium saucepan. Lower heat, cover, and simmer for about 30 minutes, until the water has cooked away and fluffy. Transfer to a large non-reactive bowl and cool a bit. While it cools, make the edamame and paste.
2
EDAMAME: bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add the edamame and salt. Return to a boil and let boil for about 5 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking water. Drain and stir into the bowl with the barley. Stir in the broccoli slaw at this time as well.
3
Bltiz all ingredients in a food processor until a thick paste forms. Add a bit of water reserved from cooking the edamame if needed. Stir into the bowl with the barley, edamame, and broccoli slaw and mix until thoroughly combined. Taste for seasoning. Serve with a drizzle of toasted sesame oil and an extra chopping of cilantro.
