Cut the halloumi into approximately 1 cm cubes and place on a deep plate. Mix the honey with lemon juice, sesame oil, 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, curry powder, and ginger powder, and drizzle over the mixture. Toss the cubes in the marinade, cover, and let stand for about 1 hour. Mix the cashews with the balsamic vinegar and let stand for about 1 hour. Drain the cashews in a sieve. Peel and chop the garlic. Wash and trim the zucchini and cut into approximately 1 cm cubes. Wash and sort the arugula and shake dry. Trim any large stems. Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions for 4-5 minutes until al dente. Drain the noodles in a sieve, rinse with cold water, and drain well. Heat the wok, then add 1 tablespoon of oil. Stir-fry the cashews for about 1 minute until golden brown, then remove. Add another tablespoon of oil to the wok. Remove the halloumi cubes from the marinade and fry in a wok over high heat for about 1 minute until golden brown. Remove the cubes and drizzle with the marinade again. Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the wok. Fry the garlic and zucchini cubes over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes until light brown. Chop the tomatoes, stir in, and fry for about 1 minute. Add the stock and the remaining soy sauce. Stir in the noodles. Fold in the halloumi, cashews, and arugula.
