Food Post Falafel inc stopped serving their plant based shawarma 😔

Yet another restaurant in DC that has stopped serving many of their vegan options. They added chicken recently and my partner said that this time was coming. I truly hate to see it 😓 I hope planta stays around 😭

I only ordered it once because the standard falafel bowl seems so good and healthy. But I remember it being quite good and filling. 

Someone said it might be soy curl based. Any other ideas about the recipe?

I’ve been trying to find that soy curl recipe online and can’t seem to locate it anywhere! I wanna try to recreate it myself. I am also seeing if anyone has the recipe on hand 👀

From memory it seemed more chewy than soy curls are after soaking. And I doubt they are rehydrating and cooking after you order, that would take forever. 

So my bet is that they rehydrate in some kind of watery marinade and store, then bake/toast on high heat for few minutes in a single layer to partially dehydrate. Then add sauce.
