Bulgur Too Wet
Your bulgur is soggy because it absorbed too much water. Dry it gently and add texture.

The fix
Tap a step to check it off.
- 1 spread bulgur on a sheet pan and bake at 300F for 6 minutes
- 2 toss with 1 teaspoon olive oil to separate grains
- 3 add herbs and lemon zest for freshness
If it's still wrong
- Pan-fry with oil for 3 minutes to add crunch.
- Use as a base for a warm grain bowl.
Prevent next time
- Use a 1:1 ratio of bulgur to water.
- Cover and rest off heat to absorb evenly.
Notes
Why this works
Dry heat removes surface moisture and separates the grains. A little oil coats the bulgur so it stays fluffy rather than sticky.
