Recipe

Melt a generous amount of butter in a heated pan, then spread the kadaif noodles to cover the bottom of the pan.
Generously spread the mozzarella cheese to fill the gaps on top of the kadaif noodles.
Carefully fold the excess kadaif noodles sticking out from the pan's edge inward, covering the mozzarella cheese.
Maintain low heat to prevent the cheese from burning and cook gently until the bottom is golden brown.
When it smells nutty from the butter and the bottom is golden brown, place a large plate on top and flip it over to rest for a moment.
Add and melt butter in the pan again, then slide the kadaif back into the pan and cook the other side gently on low heat until golden brown.
While cooking, make the syrup by mixing water and sugar in a 1:1 ratio in another pan or pot and boiling without stirring.
Lightly salt the pistachios, toast them in a dry pan, then put them in a blender and grind into a fine powder.
Pour plenty of the prepared syrup over the crispy kadaif, then sprinkle generously with pistachio powder to finish.

Melt butter in a pan, add kadaif and cheese, cover, and cook until golden brown on low heat.
Flip using a plate, add more butter to the pan, and toast the other side until crispy.
Pour plenty of syrup (1:1 water and sugar) and sprinkle with toasted pistachio powder to complete.

Cooking tips

To prevent the mozzarella cheese from burning while melting evenly, always maintain low heat throughout the cooking process.
When flipping the kadaif, it's fragile, so place a large plate over the pan and flip it all at once to maintain its shape.
Lightly salting and toasting the pistachios before grinding enhances their nutty flavor and the sweet-and-savory appeal.
