Falafel Vermicelli Bowl
February 20, 2018
yogurt, lime, garlic, fish sauce, sriracha.
Be gentle with the falafel as you fry them or they will fall apart! If you are worried, some recipes add a little baking powder or even flour to help them stick together.
I could eat a lunch like this every day!
The rice noodles were a great replacement for rice or taboli that might be on a plate like this, and the cucumber, carrots, and lettuce replace the salad.
The sauce packed so much flavor and brought everything together!

- falafel
- 2 cups soaked chickpeas
- 1/2 cup Chopped Mint

Instructions
- Add the falafel ingredients to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until everything is crumbled to a uniformly small size. Pour into a bowl and season with salt and pepper.
- Form pucks of falafel with your hands and press firmly to hold their shape, but not too hard to make dense falafel. Add a half inch of oil to a pan and bring to about 375. Pan fry the falafel until browned on both sides, flipping half way through cooking.
- Mix the sauce ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
- Build the bowls with the rice noodles, lettuce, cucumber, and carrots.
- Top with falafel, mint, and sauce. Serve.
