OODLES OF NOODLES
Bring a pot of water to a boil for the noodles. Cook the noodles until separated and pliable, 7-8 minutes. Drain and rinse in cold water.
TOASTY SEEDS
Place the sesame seeds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until they pop, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
CRISPY HALLOUMI
Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the halloumi until crispy and golden, 1-2 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towel.
CURRY VEGGIES
Return the pan, wiped down, to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the pepper slices, and the carrot rounds until lightly charred, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the grated garlic, the curry paste mix, and the gochujang (to taste). Fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add 50ml of water and simmer until thickened, 1-2 minutes. Add the fried halloumi and a splash of water if the sauce is too thick. Remove from the heat and season.
HURRY, AND PLATE THE CURRY!
Bowl up the cooked noodles. Top with the halloumi & veg mix. Sprinkle over the toasted sesame seeds and lemon zest (to taste). Finish off with a squeeze of lemon juice and enjoy, Chef!
