Barley porridge on water

Considering that barley groats contain a huge amount of starch, its classic cooking in a saucepan often leads to viscosity, stickiness and as a result does not look very appetizing. Because of this, it is undeservedly forgotten. Ready crumbly porridge is a rarity, but if you know what to do to get the desired effect, porridge will again become popular on the dinner table.
