Tom Yum with Pearled Spelt or Barley

Home   Recipes for Pulses, Grains, Seeds, Flakes, Flour, Ferments...   Tom Yum with Pearled Spelt or Barley
Asian Grain Naked Barley Pearled Grains seaweed Soups Spelt

April 21, 2024

Tom Yum, a hot and sour soup from Thailand with super punchy flavours, pairs well with our pearled barley or pearled spelt, both also available from Holland & Barrett stores across the UK and online.

Pearled grains are polished to remove the outer hull and some of the bran, making them quicker to cook and softer in texture. Pearled barley and spelt both make excellent British-grown alternatives to white rice and have significantly higher levels of fibre and protein.

Rice production can produce large amounts of greenhouse gasses. Microbes that feed off decaying plant matter in flooded rice paddies produce methane, estimated to make up 8% of all global methane emissions from human activity. The rice straw left after harvesting is often burned off, further adding to the emissions.

This recipe was created in collaboration with Borough Broth and Dr. Wills to highlight our work with Holland and Barrett.

Serves 2

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp Coconut Oil
  • 1 Lemongrass Stalk
  • 1 small piece Ginger
  • 1 Red Chilli
  • ½ tsp Brown Sugar
  • 1 piece Ginger
  • 1 pouch of Borough Broth Miso Seaweed Broth
  • 1 tbsp Dr. Wills Green Sauce
  • 80g Tofu
  • 1 Pak Choi
  • 5 Cherry Tomatoes
  • 6 Button Mushrooms
  • 70g Water Chestnuts
  • 1 tbsp Soy Sauce
  • ½ Lime, juiced
  • 60g Hodmedods Pearled Barley or Spelt

Method

  1. Heat the coconut oil in a medium saucepan on a low heat and add the ginger, garlic, lemongrass and chilli, cook the aromatics gently, until soft and translucent.
  2. Add the sugar, Green Sauce and Borough Broth, pop on the lid and bring to a simmer.
  3. Once simmering, take the lid off and let the broth reduce by roughly a third, then add in all the remaining veggies and tofu.
  4. Allow the whole broth to simmer for 10 mins, until the tomatoes start to collapse.
  5. Meanwhile, place the barley or spelt in a pan, cover with plenty of cold water, bring to the boil and cook for 20 to 30 minutes or until tender.
  6. Serve with the tom yum soup with cooked pearl barley, drizzle over the soy sauce and lime juice.

Malt Chocolate Chip Cookies

Wholegrain Malted Chocolate Chip Cookies

November 20, 2025

This recipe from Anna Warden makes for a cookie that is crunchy on the outside, and chewy in the middle - to our mind the best combination. The malted wheat flour and coffee create a gorgeous depth of flavour and a moreish caramelly base which pairs perfectly with dark chocolate and sea salt. These cookies will keep in the freezer (unbaked) for a couple of weeks, and so are the perfect thing to have to hand for times you want a cookie or for when you might just need a cookie.
