This was so quick and easy! My family loved it and asked me to make it again. I added about 1 cup of frozen mixed vegetables with the broth (carrots, peas, corn, lima beans), as suggested, and just used the salt and pepper. Next time, I will add 1 Tbsp of parsley at the end.
This was another winner - yummy and fast!! Honestly I had never made bulger like this -- being the star ingredient in a recipe. Everyone loved it, including my 2 year old who kept eating and eating and eating. I was a bit in shock, happy shock! Another commentor mentioned it was like fried rice which made me think I could likley make this into a main dish next time by adding stir fried tofu and some scrambled eggs!
This was really good and very easy to make. It reminded
me of Fried Rice when I added peas.
