Recipe for Tempura Halloumi Tacos With Sweet & Spicy Glaze

1. As early as the night before, place the egg, water, and flour into the fridge. The trick with tempura batter is to keep everything as cold as possible. 
2. In a blender, add the Asian-style Salad Dressing ingredients. The garlic, ginger, carrot, shallot, apple, oil, soy sauce, vinegar, sugar and sesame paste. Blend it on high until there are no big chunks left and everything is well emulsified. There should be some texture left to the dressing though. If you aren’t a fan of that, you can pass it through a mesh sieve, but leaving it is just fine and delicious. 
3. Prepare the salad ingredients, wash and slice everything thin. For the cucumbers, place the cut cucumbers into a bowl, sprinkle with ½ teaspoon of salt and chill for 30 to 40 minutes. Then drain the extra water before adding to the salad ingredients. 
4. In a bowl, combine the maple and BBQ sauce. 
5. When you are ready to cook, place a BBQ safe pot or pan with deep sides onto the barbecue and light the burners below it. Add the oil and allow it to preheat to approximately 335°F (170°C). While the barbecue is warming, cut the halloumi into appropriately sized sticks, either halves or thirds depending on the size of the tortilla you will be using. Before you mix the batter and fry, mix the salad and dressing together. 
6. Whisk together the egg and water in a bowl. Add the flour, stirring gently about eight times. It is completely fine if there are still lumps of flour, the goal is to prevent gluten production for a very airy batter. 
7. Dip the halloumi into the batter, then drop the battered cheese into the pan away from you. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes or until all sides are light golden and crisp. Remove from the oil, pat dry on paper towel, then toss in the BBQ sauce mixture. 
8. Assemble the glazed halloumi in a tortilla shell with a generous helping of salad and serve immediately.
