Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash and prepare all the ingredients for your rice pizza. Fresh ingredients are the start to a delicious meal!
Step 2
Lightly rinse the mushrooms, pat them dry, and finely chop them into bite-sized pieces. Chop them finely enough to retain some texture, not into a paste, so their flavor can shine.
Step 3
Peel the carrots and finely chop them, similar to how you prepared the mushrooms. The natural sweetness of the carrots will add a wonderful depth of flavor to your pizza.
Step 4
Remove the seeds from the bell pepper and paprika, wash them, and then thinly slice them into strips. These colorful vegetables will make your pizza look even more appetizing.
Step 5
Cut the broccoli into small florets, about 1 to 2 cm in size. Cut the nutrient-rich broccoli into appealing pieces so even children will enjoy eating it.
Step 6
In a bowl, combine the rice (cold or warm) with 2 eggs and a pinch of salt. Gently mix with a spatula or spoon, being careful not to mash the rice grains. Ensure the egg is evenly distributed among the rice grains.
Step 7
Heat 1 Tbsp of vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped mushrooms and carrots and stir-fry for about 30 seconds. This step lightly cooks the vegetables to enhance their aroma.
Step 8
Boil 1 paper cup of water in a pot. Once boiling, add the prepared broccoli florets and blanch for about 20 seconds. Immediately rinse them under cold water to maintain their crisp texture.
Step 9
Add the remaining 2 Tbsp of vegetable oil to the pan, still over medium heat. Spread the rice and egg mixture evenly into a flat, round shape like a pancake. Cook for about 3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and slightly crispy.
Step 10
Carefully flip the rice base over. Now, reduce the heat to low. This is crucial to prevent the bottom from burning while the cheese melts.
Step 11
Spread 3 Tbsp of ketchup evenly over the surface of the rice base using the back of a spoon. Aim for a smooth, even layer, just like a pizza sauce.
Step 12
Evenly distribute the stir-fried mushrooms and carrots over the ketchup layer. Generously topping will make it look even more appealing.
Step 13
Arrange the blanched broccoli florets over the other toppings. They add both color and texture.
Step 14
Sprinkle the sweet corn kernels over the pizza. This is a favorite ingredient for many children!
Step 15
Now, generously sprinkle the pizza cheese over everything. The melting cheese will bind all the delicious ingredients together.
Step 16
Place the sliced olives decoratively over the cheese. The slight saltiness of the olives enhances the overall flavor profile.
Step 17
Finally, arrange the sliced bell peppers and paprika artistically over the pizza, considering color balance. It’s best to add them last so they retain their crispness.
Step 18
Gently pour about 1 soju cup of water around the edges of the pizza, onto the rice part. This will create steam when covered, helping the cheese melt perfectly without drying out the rice.
Step 19
Cover the pizza tightly with a lid. Cook on the lowest possible heat for 5 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt completely. Be sure to keep the heat very low to prevent the rice from burning.
Step 20
Once the cheese is beautifully melted and bubbly, your healthy and delicious oven-free rice pizza is ready! Enjoy it hot.
