Step-by-step
- Whisk the oils, vinegar, sugar, soy sauce and ginger together in a large bowl. Using a vegetable peeler or mandoline, peel ribbons of the courgette and carrot into the bowl; finely slice the cores. Toss in the dressing, then set aside to marinate while you prepare everything else.
- Heat a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Toast the cashew nuts for 3-4 minutes until golden; set aside. Next toast the sesame seeds for 2-3 minutes, stirring often until golden; set aside with the nuts. Fry the halloumi for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden.
- Lift the vegetables from the dressing and put on a platter or plates. Top with the halloumi and scatter over the nuts and seeds. Serve immediately while the cheese is still warm, spooning over a little extra dressing, if liked.
