In a large sauce pan, saute the onion, celery & green pepper in ¼ cup water until soft, about 10 minutes. Add bulgur, green chilies and seasonings. Cook and stir a few minutes. Add the remaining water and the soy sauce. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and cook until liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Stir in coriander.
