    Thumbs up What a good idea!

    On my way home from the gym today, I realized I was starving and didn't have anything quick at home. So I stopped and got some Chinese takeout. (How nice it must have been for the other patrons to share my post-workout aroma... ) I thought I'd be a little healthier and I asked if they had brown rice, and she said yes, so I asked for that. I got it home and opened it and said, "This isn't brown rice..."

    It was BARLEY! I've only had barley in soups and stews, but I like it, so what the hell. It was delicious! And barley is extremely good for you, even better than brown rice. I don't know if the restaurant fucked up or what, but I know when I cook, I'm going to substitute barley for rice from now on. What a nice way to get some extra nutrients in, and it has more flavor too!

    Thanks for sharing!

    As a vegan, I probably should have had barley by now, but I don't think I've ever tried it. I'm definitely gonna give this a shot. White rice is good, but not so good for you. And some brown rice is great (mmmm...P.F. Chang's...mmmm) while some is dry and not too flavorful. This is a great tip.

    Mmmmmm!!! PF Chang's brown rice is awesome!!! My husband thinks it is too sticky/clumpy but I *love* it with the veggies and crispy fish! Yum!!!

    Edited to add: I know PF Chang's is not "real" Chinese food, but it is probably the only Chinese food I will eat. The local place's Chinese is WAY too greasy and salty for my taste. I have eaten good Chinese food in a little place in Philly's China Town, but don't go there on a regular basis. PF Chang's is close by and I love a few of their dishes!

    You've never had barley? It's a grain. Very good for you, and tasty too.

    I went to P. F. Chang's a few times with relatives who want to eat there, and I didn't like it. The atmosphere gets me in the mood for Chinese food, and there is very little actual Chinese food on the menu. I like it more authentic.

    They didn't know how to cook tofu when I was at P. F. Chang's, either. I love good tofu, but it's easy to screw up. You have to actually know how to cook it.
