Preparation
1
Make sticky rice

  • Add sticky rice to a medium pot, then cover rice with cold water. Using your hand, swirl to rinse rice.
  • Pour off cloudy water and refill with cold water. Repeat until water rinses clear.
  • Add 1 cups (2 cups) fresh water. Bring to a boil over high heat.
  • Once boiling, cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook until rice is tender and water is absorbed, 12-15 min.
  • Remove the pot from heat. Set aside, still covered, for 5 min.

2
Prep veggies

  • Meanwhile, remove and discard any damaged outer leaves of lettuce, then cut whole lettuce in half.
  • Gently separate leaves of one half of the lettuce from the core (separate all leaves for 4 ppl). (NOTE: If you're cooking for 2 ppl, save the other half of the lettuce for another creation!)
  • Thinly slice cucumbers into 1/4-inch half-moons.
  • Zest, then juice half the lime. Cut remaining lime into wedges.
  • Thinly slice green onion.
  • Roughly chop cilantro.
  • Add vinegar and 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) sugar to a small bowl. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Set aside.

3
Prep halloumi and make lime mayo

  • Cut halloumi into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
  • Using a strainer, rinse halloumi in cold water, then pat dry with paper towels.
  • Add mayo, lime juice and half the lime zest to another small bowl. Whisk to combine.
  • Season with salt and pepper.

4
Toast peanuts and make salad

  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
  • When hot, add peanuts to the dry pan. Toast, stirring often, until golden-brown, 3-4 min. (TIP: Keep your eye on peanuts so they don't burn!)
  • Transfer to another small bowl.
  • Meanwhile, add carrots, cucumber, cilantro, green onions and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil to a large bowl. Pour half the vinegar-sugar mixture over top. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine. 

5
Cook halloumi

  • Add halloumi to the same dry pan (used in step 4). (NOTE: Don't overcrowd the pan. For 4 ppl, cook in batches.) Cook until golden-brown, 1-2 min per side.
  • Transfer to a large bowl. Add sweet chili sauce, then toss to coat.
  • Cover to keep warm.

6
Finish and serve

  • When rice is tender, fluff with a fork, then add remaining vinegar-sugar mixture and remaining lime zest, then stir to combine. Season with salt.
  • Add 3 lettuce leaves to each plate. (TIP: Overlap smaller leaves if needed.)
  • Chop any leftover lettuce and stir into salad.
  • Top with sticky rice, halloumi and salad.
  • Drizzle lime mayo over top.
  • Sprinkle peanuts over top.
  • Squeeze a lime wedge over top, if desired.
