1. Prepare a pound of clean barley, heat an iron pot over high heat, and put the barley into the pot. After the barley is put into the pot, start stir-frying over high heat. After the overall temperature increases, you can adjust the heat to medium. Do not use high heat all the time, as it will easily burn. Keep stirring to allow the barley to heat evenly. This process is a bit laborious.

2. Stir-fry for a period of time, until there is a slight aroma of cooked rice, and there are dots on the barley that turn slightly yellow, that’s it. Don’t wait until it is fully cooked, because the rice itself retains heat and looks completely cooked. When cooked, it will be slightly mushy when served.

3. Pour the rice into a large tray, let it cool, shake it, and hold the rice storage jar tightly with your hands. This is because there will be a small amount of broken skin at the bottom, so just remove it directly.
