Ingredients
- A little sesame oil
- 1 bowl of warm cooked rice
- 1 packet of seasoned seaweed (store-bought)
- Mozzarella cheese, desired amount
- A pinch of sesame seeds
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the store-bought seasoned seaweed. Crumble the seaweed pack with your hands into bite-sized pieces. It’s best to crumble it so there’s still some texture, rather than making it too fine.
Step 2
Place the warm rice in a large bowl. Add a pinch of sesame seeds and a little sesame oil for a nutty flavor. Gently mix to prevent the rice grains from clumping.
Step 3
Add the crumbled seaweed to the rice and mix them together. Ensure the salty and umami flavors of the seaweed are evenly distributed throughout the rice.
Step 4
Pour the mixed rice and seaweed mixture into a heated frying pan. Use a spoon or spatula to spread it thinly and widely, forming a round, flat shape like a pizza crust. It’s advisable to lightly grease the pan or cook over low heat to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Once the bottom of the rice starts to press down and turn golden brown, generously sprinkle your desired amount of mozzarella cheese over the top. The cheese will melt and meld with the rice, creating a delicious pizza topping.
Step 6
Cover the frying pan with a lid and cook over low heat until the cheese is completely melted. The cheese will slowly melt, preparing to become one with the rice.
Step 7
When the cheese has melted smoothly, carefully handle the pan and fold the rice mixture in half, like a crescent moon. This way, you can enjoy both the crispiness of the nurungji and the chewiness of the cheese simultaneously.
Step 8
Place the folded nurungji pizza back in the pan and cook it once more until the inside is warm. Aim for a crispy exterior and a cheesy interior.
Step 9
While cooking, gently press down with a spatula or turner occasionally to enhance the crispiness. Once all ingredients are warm and deliciously combined, it’s ready! Cut into pieces and enjoy!
