Author Notes
I ordered something similar in a restaurant once, but found it a bit rich as the cheese had been coated with batter, so I decided to try to make a version that was finger licking good, but not too rich. The Sweet Chili Sauce also cuts the richness. —Nikki Seiler
Ingredients
- Sweet Chilli Sauce

3
Red Chillies

Directions
-
Chop the garlic finely.

Put the chillies, rice vinegar, salt, sugar and garlic in a small sauce pan over low heat until the sugar dissolves.

Bring to the boil, then cook for about 5 minutes or until the mixture thickens to a liquidy syrup consistency.

Just before serving, heat the oil in a non stick pan on a high heat.

Fry the strips of Halloumi in the pan until they are golden on both sides (this is a very quick process).
