boring old supper that was just what I needed.

I went a little crazy with the red pepper flakes.  Sometimes I have no desire to cook and I don't crave anything in particular, so I just mindlessly steam some veggies and grains.  I did bother to saute this napa cabbage in a little sesame oil, mirin, and shoyu (yum).

Turns out though, a big plate of simple, wholesome broccoli, cabbage, and barley hit the spot tonight (though I wished my barley were quinoa, because I got it in my head I'd put quinoa in the rice cooker, and was looking forward to those tiny, yummy little grains, then opened the lid to find barley!).
