Ingredients
- 1 cup (200g) pearl barley
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1¼ cup (313ml) unsalted chicken stock or cold water
Instructions
- Optional - Rinse Barley: Rinse 1 cup (200g) pearl barley under cold water, then drain with a mesh strainer.
- Add Pearl Barley in Instant Pot: Add 1 cup (200g) pearl barley and ¼ tsp fine sea salt to Instant Pot. Add in 1¼ cup (313ml) unsalted chicken stock or cold water. Give it a quick mix.
- Pressure Cook Barley: Close lid, then turn Venting Knob to Sealing Position. Pressure Cook barley at High Pressure for 15 to 20 minutes, then Natural Release for 20 minutes. Open the lid carefully.Amy + Jacky's Pro Tip: We enjoy the barley's texture from pressure cooking at High Pressure for 18 minutes, then Natural Release for 20 minutes the most.
- Fluff & Serve Barley: Taste barley, then add more salt if desired. For reference, we didn't add more salt because we usually serve it with main dishes. Fluff barley with a rice paddle or fork. Serve with your favorite main dishes.

Notes
- Pearl Barley (cream-colored): Tougher inedible outer coating (hull) and the bran layer are removed from the barley. If you're substituting with Hulled Barley or Pot Barley, add more pressure cooking time accordingly.
- Unsalted Chicken Stock: If you substitute with salted stock, taste and adjust the saltiness accordingly.
- Freeze Barley: Yes! You can freeze barley, and add it to soups, stews, or salads later.
