1. Heat sesame seed oil in a large frying pan. Add onion and saute on medium high heat for about 5-7 minutes until the onions begin to caramelize. Add garlic and ginger and saute for about 2 minutes.
2. Add bulgur and barley and let them toast for a minute or so and add 2 cups water/ stock. Add spices and soy sauce. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for about 15 minutes. Add water if necessary.
3. Add broccoli and remaining water. If you use the stems, you should add those to cook for a few minutes before the adding the crowns. Add sesame seeds and other seeds, if using.
4. Cover and simmer for until broccoli is tender, the grains are thoroughly cooked and water has evaporated completely. Garnish with sesame seeds and soy sauce, if desired.
This ends up looking something like fried rice, only it's a lot healthier and a lot tastier. You could also add some carrots, and bok choy and that would be good.
