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
- Diagonally slice the large zucchini (250g) into rounds.
- Shred the zucchini and place it in a bowl.
- Add 1/4 tsp salt to the zucchini in the bowl, mix well, and let it sit for 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes, thoroughly squeeze out the moisture from the zucchini.
- 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.
- Add the squeezed zucchini and mix everything thoroughly.
- Thinly slice the 1/3 large zucchini (100g) into 2mm thick rounds.
- Cut the 2 imitation crab sticks into 1cm pieces and flake them with the side of a knife.
- Lightly oil a frying pan and arrange 10-12 gyoza wrappers to cover the bottom.
- Spread mayonnaise evenly over the gyoza wrappers.
- Layer the thinly sliced zucchini over the wrappers.
- Scatter the flaked imitation crab sticks over the zucchini.
- Sprinkle a pinch of salt over everything, then tear the 2 slices of melting cheese and place them evenly on top.
- Sprinkle with coarsely ground black pepper if desired.
- Cover with a lid and cook over medium heat until the cheese is melted.
- 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.
- 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.
- Once done, sprinkle with dried parsley.
- Cut into easy-to-eat pieces.
