Main Ingredients- 250g Kaneshiro fish cakes
- 1/2 medium onion
- 1.5 cups canned corn kernels (drained)
- 1/3 medium carrot
- 1 shiitake mushroom
- 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- A few black olives
Seasoning & Others- 3 Tbsp tomato sauce
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 3 Tbsp tomato sauce
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare all the ingredients for the pizza filling. Finely chop the 250g of Kaneshiro fish cakes. Also, finely dice the 1/2 onion, 1/3 carrot, and 1 shiitake mushroom. Dicing the vegetables small will help them meld together beautifully and cook faster.
Step 2
Now, let’s build the base of our skillet pizza. Spread the finely chopped fish cakes thinly and evenly across the bottom of your pan. This will act as our crust. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the fish cakes, ensuring it coats the entire pan. The olive oil will help the fish cakes cook gently and add wonderful flavor.
Step 3
Next, we’ll add the flavor core. Spoon the 3 tablespoons of tomato sauce into the pan and spread it thinly and evenly over the fish cakes using a spatula. Mix it gently to coat, then layer the diced onion and shiitake mushroom on top. The sweetness of the vegetables and their aroma will enhance the pizza.
Step 4
Now it’s time to add a burst of texture and sweetness! Drain the 1.5 cups of canned corn kernels thoroughly and sprinkle them generously over the onion and mushroom layer. The popping corn will add a delightful texture and a touch of sweetness to the pizza.
Step 5
Finally, the grand finale! Generously top everything with 1.5 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese. The cheese will melt beautifully, enveloping all the ingredients. For an extra touch, scatter a few black olives over the cheese. Now, reduce the heat to low, cover the pan tightly with a lid, and let it cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted and bubbly. As the cheese melts, the fish cakes at the bottom will cook with the tomato sauce, creating a delicious, slightly crispy layer similar to a ‘nurungji’ (scorched rice), adding a savory depth to the pizza. Once the cheese is golden and melted, your delicious skillet pizza is ready!
