  1. COCONUT RICE

    Place the rice in a pot with 100ml [200ml]|#7DA0D7 of salted water and ½ the coconut cream. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the water has been absorbed, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and steam, 8-10 minutes. Fluff with a fork, mix in the remaining coconut cream, and cover.

  2. SESAME-GLAZED HALLOUMI

    In a bowl, combine the garlic, vinegar, maple syrup, ½ the chilli flakes, and sesame seeds. Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the halloumi until crispy and golden, 1-2 minutes per side. Add the garlic mixture and simmer until the halloumi is glazed and fully coated, 1-2 minutes. Remove from the heat.

  3. SOME FRESHNESS

    Using a spoon or a knife, gently scoop out the seeds from the Cucumber and cut into half-moons. In a bowl, combine the cucumber, pickled ginger, peppers, a drizzle of olive oil and season. Loosen the mayo with water in 10ml increments until a drizzling consistency.

  4. TIME TO DINE

    Bowl up the coconut rice, top with the glazed halloumi, scatter over the Cucumber salsa, drizzle over the mayo, and garnish with a sprinkle of the chilli flakes (to taste). Dig in, Chef!
