Bulgur: precooked, just soak
Bulgur is parboiled, dried and cracked wheat, so it's already partly cooked — a cup of dry bulgur weighs about 140 g. Fine bulgur needs only a soak: pour over an equal-or-slightly-greater volume of boiling water and rest about 15 minutes. Coarser grades simmer like rice.
It roughly doubles to triples in volume once hydrated, making it the base for tabbouleh, pilafs and grain bowls.
