For the Rice Pizza- 1 bowl of cooked rice (leftover rice is ideal)
- 1 egg

- 1/2 onion (finely diced)
- 1/2 green bell pepper (finely diced)
- 1/2 can of ham (diced)
- 1 bag of shredded mozzarella or pizza cheese
- A pinch of dried parsley (for garnish)
For the Sauce- Jarred tomato spaghetti sauce (as needed)

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the toppings for our rice pizza. Finely dice the onion and green bell pepper, and dice the ham into bite-sized pieces. Heat a skillet over medium heat with a little cooking oil. Sauté the diced vegetables and ham until fragrant and slightly softened. This step really brings out their delicious flavors.
Step 2
In a bowl, crack in 1 egg and add 1 bowl of cooked rice. Use a spatula or fork to thoroughly mix the egg into the rice, ensuring each grain is coated. This will help bind the rice together and make your pizza base tender.
Step 3
Now, let’s cook the base of our rice pizza. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt completely. Be careful not to let the butter burn – adjusting the heat is key. You’ll know it’s ready when you smell its wonderful aroma.
Step 4
Pour the egg-mixed rice into the melted butter and spread it out evenly to form a thin, circular base, about 1 cm thick. Spreading it thinly ensures it cooks through properly. Let it cook undisturbed over low heat for about 3 minutes until the bottom is lightly golden and slightly crispy, like a delicious rice crust.
Step 5
Once the rice base is partially cooked, evenly distribute the sautéed vegetable and ham mixture over the top. Then, thinly spread a layer of tomato spaghetti sauce over the toppings. Avoid using too much sauce, as it can make the rice base soggy.
Step 6
Generously sprinkle your favorite pizza cheese or shredded mozzarella over the tomato sauce. Finish with a light dusting of dried parsley for a beautiful presentation. Cover the skillet with a lid and continue to cook over low heat until the cheese is completely melted and bubbly. Your delicious rice pizza is ready!
Step 7
Ta-da! Your stomach-friendly rice pizza, made without any flour, is complete. Enjoy it while it’s warm for the best texture and flavor!
Step 8
Taking a bite, the rice base is tender yet has a wonderfully crisp, almost ‘nurungji’ (scorched rice) like texture where it was browned. The combination of the crisp vegetables, savory ham, and gooey melted cheese is simply fantastic! It’s amazing how satisfying and delicious this is without flour. It’s a perfect, light yet filling meal replacement.
