Homemade Barley Soup

2013-03-11 23.06.50

I had a rather unhealthy weekend had been missing home cooking. South Korea is on the verge of spring (and potentially nuclear war) and before it gets much warmer, I decided to make a very easy soup which is a Jewish recipe originally from my grandmother. It’s so simple and tasty and  just has 5 inexpensive ingredients all available in Korea.

Shopping List

Bag of Pearl Barley(30g per serving)

Bag of Red Lentils (30g per serving)

Pack of beef stock cubes (1 cube per serving)

Worcester Sauce

I texted my mum to send me the recipe and she made it sound so simple that I’m just gonna post up her text right here..

The only thing I will say is that I didn’t keep an eye on it while it was simmering so the water kept evaporating, I just kept topping it up with water from the kettle and it tasted almost exactly the same as I remembered it from home.  (Mum and Grandma’s cooking will probably always taste better to me)
