Preparation

Prepare the teriyaki sauce by combining tamari, brown sugar, maple syrup, mirin, ginger, sesame oil, garlic, lime juice and pepper in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
Add the water and cornstarch mixture while stirring constantly. Let simmer 2 to 3 minutes until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.
Cut the halloumi into slices about 1 cm thick.
Heat a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Place the halloumi and grill about 2 minutes on each side, until well browned.
Transfer to a serving plate, coat generously with teriyaki sauce and garnish with chopped green onions. Serve immediately.
