Instructions


1 In a large skillet, heat the oils over medium-high heat.
2 Add the onion, zucchini, squash and bell pepper to the pan, seasoning with salt, and cooking through. (This should take 5-10 minutes, depending on your stove.)
3 Once vegetables are soft, crack the two eggs in the skillet, breaking up immediately with your spatula/wooden spoon, and cooking until the egg is completely cooked. Season with pepper.
4 Add the barley, mixing in to the vegetables and egg and lowering the heat to medium-low.
5 Once everything is combined, add the soy sauce slowly, stirring until mixed in, then remove the pan from the heat.
6 Top with toasted sesame seeds, season more with pepper (if need be) and serve warm.
