Super Simple Tortilla Pizza Using Leftover Namul
Tortilla Pizza Made with Leftover Je-sa (Ancestor Memorial) Namul
This is a tortilla pizza made with leftover je-sa namul! It’s a fantastic way to use up any extra seasoned vegetables from ancestral rites or simply clear out your fridge. Expect a surprisingly delicious result that perfectly complements the cheese and tortilla.
Essential Ingredients- 1 Tortilla
- Generous amount of Mozzarella cheese or Pizza cheese
- 2-3 Tbsp Tomato sauce or Spaghetti sauce
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Place one tortilla on a plate or baking sheet. Spread 2-3 tablespoons of tomato sauce evenly over the tortilla. Be careful not to use too much sauce, as it can make the tortilla soggy. Sprinkle a thin layer of cheese over the sauce; this helps the namul stick and adds extra flavor.
Step 2
Now, it’s time to use your leftover namul! Start by adding namul that are less watery and have a good texture, such as seasoned soybean sprouts or spinach namul. You can place them whole or chop them into bite-sized pieces. Don’t overcrowd the pizza; leave some space between the toppings.
Step 3
Continue layering the remaining namul. Mix and match different types like fernbrake, eggplant, or mushroom namul to create a blend of textures and flavors. If your namul are already seasoned, the cheese will help balance the flavors.
Step 4
Once all the namul are on, generously cover the top with pizza cheese. The cheese acts as a binder and adds a wonderfully gooey texture. Bake in a preheated oven (180°C or 350°F) or air fryer for about 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown, and the tortilla edges are crispy. Adjust the time based on your oven’s performance.
Step 5
Cut and enjoy your freshly baked tortilla pizza! You’ll be pleasantly surprised by how delicious it is. The chewy tortilla, melted cheese, and the unique textures and tastes of the namul create a savory and delightful bite. It’s a fantastic way to give leftovers a new life!
