Yield Serves 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 17

Noodles
Vegetable or other neutral oil
1 onion, finely sliced
1 small (about 1⅓ pounds / 600 g) cauliflower, cut into florets
1 garlic clove, grated
7 ounces (200 g) corn kernels (from 2 corn cobs)
10½ ounces (300 g) rice vermicelli, soaked in warm water for 5-10 minutes
1 cup (155 g) fresh or frozen peas
2 scallions, finely sliced
Sea salt and white pepper
Maggi Seasoning Sauce, to serve (optional)
Shawarma spice
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground coriander
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
2 teaspoons sea salt
Black pepper

Steps:

  • To make the shawarma spice, combine all the ingredients in a small jar and shake well.
  • Heat a wok or large frying pan over high heat. When hot, add 1 tablespoon of oil, then the onion and cook, stirring often, for 2 minutes until fragrant. Add the cauliflower, season with sea salt and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until just tender. Add the garlic and corn and toss for another minute. Remove from the wok or pan and set aside.
  • Drain the vermicelli. Return the wok or pan to medium heat, add about 2 tablespoons of oil and the shawarma spice and cook for 15-20 seconds, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Add the vermicelli, along with a bit more oil, and toss until the noodles are heated through and thoroughly coated in the spice mix. Return the cauliflower mixture to the pan, along with the peas, 2-3 big pinches of sea salt and a pinch of white pepper, and toss until everything is well mixed and the peas are cooked, about 1-2 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and add the scallions. Taste and season with sea salt and white pepper. Sprinkle over a few drops of Maggi, if you like, and serve.

This was a delicious and healthy meal. I loved the combination of flavors and textures. The cauliflower was a great substitute for rice or noodles.

This dish was easy to make and turned out great! I used a store-bought shawarma spice blend and it worked perfectly. The noodles were cooked just right and the corn added a nice sweetness. Definitely a keeper!

I'm not a big fan of cauliflower, but this dish changed my mind. The cauliflower was roasted to perfection and had a slightly sweet flavor that complemented the shawarma spices perfectly.
