Preparation
1
Toast sesame seeds

  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
  • When hot, add sesame seeds to the dry pan. Toast for 2-4 min, stirring often, until fragrant. (TIP: Keep your eye on them so they don't burn.) Transfer to a plate. 

2
Make slaw

  • Meanwhile, thinly slice green onions.
  • Cut radishes into 1/4-inch half-moons. 
  • To a medium bowl, add mayo, rice wine vinegar, 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) sugar, half the soy sauce and half the sesame oil. Whisk to combine.
  • Add coleslaw mix and radishes. Season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine. 

3
Make spicy-sweet glaze

  • To another medium bowl, add Honey-Garlic Sauce, remaining soy sauce, remaining sesame oil and gochujang. Whisk to combine.

4
Pan-fry falafel

  • Reheat the pan (from step 1) over medium-high. Add 1 tbsp oil, then falafel. (NOTE: Don't overcrowd the pan. Cook in batches for 4 servings if needed, using 1 tbsp oil per batch.)
  • Lightly smash falafel into smaller pieces, then pan-fry for 4-8 min, tossing occasionally, until browned.
  • Remove from heat, add spicy-sweet glaze, then toss to coat. 

5
Warm tortillas

  • Wrap tortillas in paper towels.
  • Microwave for 1 min, until tortillas are warm and flexible. (TIP: You can skip this step if you don't want to warm the tortillas.)

6
Finish and serve

  • Divide tortillas between plates. 
  • Top with saucy falafel, then coleslaw.
  • Sprinkle green onions and any remaining sesame seeds over top.
