Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Cook the pearl barley according to package instructions. Cover and set aside.
  2. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce with 2 tablespoons brown sugar. Add the pork, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, cornstarch, and the remaining 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce with 2 tablespoons brown sugar until smooth; set aside.

  3. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add the pork and cook, turning occasionally, until well browned, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  4. Wipe out the skillet and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the mushrooms, leek, carrots, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and a few grinds of black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, about 4 minutes. Return the pork to the skillet and add the broth mixture. Cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens slightly, 1-2 minutes. Serve with pearl barley and sprinkle with parsley.
