Serving

1 tbsp sesame oil, divided
1 1/2 cups chopped green onions, divided
2 tbsp minced garlic, divided
1/2 cup uncooked pearl barley
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro, divided
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp black pepper
1 (14 1/2-oz) can fat-free , less-sodium chicken broth
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp water
1 1/2 tsp rice vinegar
1 tsp low-sodium soy sauce
1/2 tsp red curry paste
1 tbsp chopped peeled fresh lemongrass
