Ingredients

• Cooked Jasmine rice - 2 cups
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Cornstarch - 2 tablespoons
• Bell pepper (diced) - 1/2 cup
• Carrot (grated) - 1/4 cup
• Green onion (chopped) - 1/4 cup
• Shredded mozzarella cheese - 1 cup
• Fresh cilantro (chopped) - 2 tablespoons
• Red pepper flakes - 1/2 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Salt - to taste

Steps

1. In a large bowl, mix the cooked Jasmine rice with soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and salt until well combined.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the rice mixture and press it down firmly to form a pizza base. Cook for about 8-10 minutes until the bottom is golden and crispy.
3. While the base is cooking, prepare the topping by combining the diced bell pepper, grated carrot, chopped green onion, shredded mozzarella cheese, red pepper flakes, and fresh cilantro in a bowl.
4. Once the rice base is crispy, carefully flip it over to cook the other side by adding another tablespoon of olive oil. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
5. Spread the vegetable and cheese mixture evenly over the crispy rice base. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for another 5 minutes until the cheese melts and the vegetables are slightly tender.
6. Remove from heat, slice into wedges, and serve immediately while hot.
