Method

1. Soak the halloumi in boiling water for 20 minutes, then drain.

   
   

2. While the halloumi is soaking, prepare the vegetables. Slice the pepper and carrot into long thin strips and cut the red onion into chunky pieces.

   
   

3. Mix together the honey, sweet chilli sauce, soy sauce and chilli flakes in a small bowl. Set aside.

   
   

4. Dice the halloumi and dry-fry in a non-stick pan for a few minutes until golden brown, stirring regularly to prevent sticking. Remove from the pan and set aside.

   
   

5. Using the same pan, spray lightly with cooking spray and stir-fry the onion, pepper, carrot and garlic for around 5 minutes until softened but still slightly crisp.

   
   

6. Add the noodles and stir-fry for a further 2 minutes.

   
   

7. Pour in the sauce and toss everything together until the noodles are coated.

   
   

8. Return the halloumi to the pan, stir through, and heat for 1 minute.

9. Serve immediately.
