To rehydrate
Rehydrating works especially well for fine grain bulgur. Medium to coarse grain bulgur may take longer.
Place 1 cup (182 grams) of bulgur in a bowl or serving dish.
Slowly pour 2 cups (475 mL) of warm water or broth over the bulgur and combine.
Let stand for 45–60 minutes until the liquid has evaporated.
Fluff with a fork and use as desired.
Bulgur is parboiled, or partially pre-cooked, so it doesn’t take too long to prepare. You can prepare the grain on the stovetop, in microwave.
