Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the vegetables for the pizza filling. Wash and finely dice the bell pepper and onion. Drain the canned corn thoroughly by placing it in a sieve. Finely chop the pitted black olives.
Step 2
Next, finely chop the ham. For this recipe, using the pre-sliced gimbap ham is convenient as it’s already thin and easy to dice into small, uniform pieces, almost like tiny cubes.
Step 3
Place the finely chopped ham in a dry pan (no oil needed) and sauté lightly until just cooked through. This helps to render out some of the fat, making the filling less greasy and more flavorful.
Step 4
Combine the sautéed ham with the diced onion, bell pepper, drained corn, and chopped black olives in a mixing bowl.
Step 5
Add all the sautéed ham to the bowl with the prepared vegetables.
Step 6
Generously add mozzarella cheese to the mixture. The cheese will melt and bind all the ingredients together beautifully.
Step 7
Sprinkle the finely chopped black olives over the top. Their salty, briny flavor complements the other ingredients perfectly.
Step 8
Now, let’s season the filling. Add about 3-4 tablespoons of tomato sauce. Season with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper to your liking. Taste as you go, as you don’t want it to be too salty.
Step 9
Put on a pair of disposable gloves and gently mix all the ingredients by hand, or use a wooden spoon to combine thoroughly. Your delicious pizza filling is now ready!
Step 10
(Tip) For an easy pizza toast, spread this filling on slices of bread and microwave for about 1 minute. You can also put it in a cup and microwave for a dip-style pizza.
Step 11
Now, let’s make the stick pizzas! Take a rice paper wrapper and place about two tablespoons of the filling in the center. Make sure the filling isn’t too wet, as this can cause the rice paper to tear. Distribute it evenly.
Step 12
Fold in the sides of the rice paper wrapper, then roll it up tightly from one end to the other, like making sushi. Rolling firmly will prevent the filling from spilling out during cooking.
Step 13
Prepare all your stick pizzas this way. Heat a generous amount of vegetable oil in a wide, shallow pan over medium heat. The oil should be deep enough to partially submerge the sticks.
Step 14
Dip each rolled rice paper stick into the beaten egg, ensuring it’s fully coated. Then, dredge it thoroughly in breadcrumbs, pressing gently to help the crumbs adhere. A good coating of breadcrumbs is key for a crispy exterior.
Step 15
Carefully place the breadcrumb-coated sticks into the hot oil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and fry them until golden brown and crispy on all sides. Fry in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. Drain on paper towels and serve immediately. Enjoy your homemade crispy stick pizza!
