Tips
The halloumi will go watery before it dries out and crisps up, so bear with it.
When grating halloumi, some bits might crumble but that’s fine.
Adjust seasoning of the rice bowl to taste, bearing in mind the halloumi is salty.
You can use a good non-stick pan with barely any oil; if not, use 1-2 tablespoons of oil.
Look out for another recipe featuring crispy halloumi: saucy broccoli pasta.
