Ingredients

1 cup pearled barley, rinsed Salt One 14-ounce block extra-firm tofu, drained on paper towels for 10 minutes 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil or coconut oil (increases saturated fat to 7 grams) 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil 1/2 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder 4 scallions, white and tender green parts only, thinly sliced Freshly ground pepper 1 lemongrass stalk, bottom 6 inches only, peeled and minced 4 1/2 packed cups shredded stemmed Tuscan kale 1 1/2 tablespoons prepared horseradish 2 tablespoons tamari or soy sauce 2 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar 2 tablespoons sweetened shredded coconut, toasted 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro

Instructions

In a saucepan, cover the barley with 2 cups of water, add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer over low heat until the barley is just tender, about 25 minutes. Cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the grapeseed oil with the sesame oil until shimmering. Add the tofu and five-spice powder and cook over moderately high heat, stirring, until lightly browned, 7 minutes. Add the scallions and cook for 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper and transfer the tofu to a plate. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of grapeseed oil to the skillet. Add the lemongrass and cook over moderately high heat for 1 minute. Add the kale and cook, stirring, until wilted, about 2 minutes. Add the barley and cook for 1 minute. Add the horseradish, tamari and vinegar and cook, stirring, until the pan is nearly dry, about 2 minutes. Transfer the barley and kale to a platter. Top with the tofu, toasted coconut, sesame seeds and cilantro. Serve right away.
