Ingredients
- 4 cups short-grain white rice
- 2 Tbs. red quinoa
- 2 Tbs. rolled barley flakes
- 1/2 cup rice vinegar
- 3 Tbs. sugar
- 3 tsp. salt
Preparation
1. Rinse and drain rice several times until water runs clear. Set aside in strainer 30 minutes. Bring rice, quinoa, barley flakes, and 4 cups plus 1 Tbs. water to a simmer in large pot. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook 15 minutes, or until water is absorbed. Remove from heat, and let stand, covered, 20 minutes.
