Cooking Steps
- To a medium pot, add sticky rice, 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 1/3 cups (2 2/3 cups) fresh water. Bring to a boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for 12-15 min, until rice is tender and water is absorbed.
- Remove the pot from heat. Set aside for 5 min, still covered.
- Meanwhile, gently separate leaves of one half of the lettuce from the core.
- Thinly slice radishes into 1/4-inch half-moons.
- Zest, then juice half the lime. Cut remaining lime into wedges.
- Thinly slice green onion.
- Roughly chop mint.
- To a small bowl, add vinegar and 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) sugar. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Set aside.
- 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.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
- When hot, add peanuts to the dry pan. Toast for 3-4 min, stirring often, until golden. (TIP: Keep your eye on peanuts so they don't burn!)
- Transfer to another small bowl.
- To a large bowl, add carrots, radishes, mint, green onions and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil. Pour half the vinegar-sugar mixture over top. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine.
- To the same dry pan (used in step 4), add halloumi. (NOTE: Don't overcrowd the pan. For 4 servings, cook in batches.) Cook for 1-2 min per side, until golden.
- Transfer to a large bowl. Add sweet chili sauce, then toss to coat.
- Cover to keep warm.
- 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.)
- Top with sticky rice, halloumi and salad.
- Drizzle lime mayo over top.
- Sprinkle peanuts over top.
- Squeeze a lime wedge over top, if desired.
Customer reviews
Review summary
Updated on Aug 2026- Flavour: Reviewers consistently praised the bold combination of sweet chili, lime, and halloumi, calling it a standout mix of flavours and textures. Some found the sweet chili sauce a touch overpowering, while others felt the rice could use a bit more seasoning.
- Ease of prep: Most found the recipe straightforward to prepare, though the number of individual prep bowls and the fiddly nature of assembling the cups added some extra effort.
- Suggestions: Serve as a rice bowl if the lettuce cups feel tricky to eat; some reviewers also suggest adding a little extra sweet chili sauce or a splash of hot sauce for more kick.
- Leftovers: This dish is best enjoyed fresh, as it does not reheat well.
- Portions: One head of lettuce is plenty for the recipe, and some reviewers noted the overall portion felt on the smaller side.
