Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2 servings)

  • 1 large zucchini (250g)
  • 1/3 large zucchini (100g)
  • 2 imitation crab sticks
  • 10-12 gyoza wrappers
  • 2 slices of melting cheese

Seasonings

  • Salt 1/4 tsp
  • Toasted sesame seeds 1 tbsp
  • Ground sesame seeds 1 tbsp
  • Sesame oil 2 tsp
  • Grated garlic 1 tsp
  • Chicken stock granules 2/3 tsp
  • Coarsely ground black pepper about 5 shakes
  • Mayonnaise
  • Salt (a pinch)
  • Coarsely ground black pepper
  • Dried parsley

Steps

  1. Diagonally slice the large zucchini (250g) into rounds.
  2. Shred the zucchini and place it in a bowl.
  3. Add 1/4 tsp salt to the zucchini in the bowl, mix well, and let it sit for 10 minutes.
  4. After 10 minutes, thoroughly squeeze out the moisture from the zucchini.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds, 1 tbsp ground sesame seeds, 2 tsp sesame oil, 2/3 tsp chicken stock granules, 1 tsp grated garlic, and about 5 shakes of coarsely ground black pepper. Mix well.
  6. Add the squeezed zucchini and mix everything thoroughly.
  7. Thinly slice the 1/3 large zucchini (100g) into 2mm thick rounds.
  8. Cut the 2 imitation crab sticks into 1cm pieces and flake them with the side of a knife.
  9. Lightly oil a frying pan and arrange 10-12 gyoza wrappers to cover the bottom.
  10. Spread mayonnaise evenly over the gyoza wrappers.
  11. Layer the thinly sliced zucchini over the wrappers.
  12. Scatter the flaked imitation crab sticks over the zucchini.
  13. Sprinkle a pinch of salt over everything, then tear the 2 slices of melting cheese and place them evenly on top.
  14. Sprinkle with coarsely ground black pepper if desired.
  15. Cover with a lid and cook over medium heat until the cheese is melted.
  16. Cook for about 4-5 minutes until the cheese is melted, the gyoza wrappers are browned, and the pizza can be moved around the pan. Transfer to aluminum foil.
  17. If it starts to burn, cover the edges with aluminum foil and toast in a toaster or under a broiler until golden brown. The key is to get a good crisp on the bottom of the gyoza wrappers and a nicely browned cheese for extra crispiness.
  18. Once done, sprinkle with dried parsley.
  19. Cut into easy-to-eat pieces.
