MIX THE FALAFEL MIX
Boil the kettle. In a bowl, combine the falafel mix, a pinch of salt, and 100ml [200ml]|#7DA0D7 of boiling water. Mix, but not for longer than 30 seconds. Cover and set aside for at least 10 minutes.
BEGIN THE BULGUR WHEAT

PERFECT PATTIES
Roll the falafel mixture into 4-5 balls per portion and gently flatten to form mini patties. Place a pan over medium heat with enough oil to cover the base. When hot, fry the falafel patties until golden and crispy, 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from the pan, drain on paper towel, and cover to keep warm.
Corn & BEANS
Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the Corn until lightly charred, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). In the final 1-2 minutes, add the NOMU spice blend and seasoning. Remove from the pan and set aside. Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil if necessary. Fry the beans until warmed through, 3-5 minutes. Remove from the pan and mix with the corn.
BOWL 'EM OVER
