    Chinese Pizza

    Jump to Recipe Pin

    If you are looking for a new kind of pizza, look no further! This sweet and savory Chinese Pizza will become a new favorite.

    Chinese pizza? Oh yes! This Chinese Pizza combines Chinese flavors on a pizza crust.

    I have always loved fusion foods, so I thought, why not! Hoisin sauce replaces the traditional tomato sauce, giving a sweet BBQ flavor. Don't use too much - a little goes a long way.

    I marinated the tofu in a sauce with sesame oil, tamari, ginger, and garlic. Combine the marinated tofu with hoisin sauce, red pepper, green onion, and cilantro, and a Chinese pizza is born!

    Being gluten free I am not always able to find good gluten free vegan bread products. There's the local not-so-inexpensive amaranth and mesquite tortillas that I love, but those are a splurge.

    Then there's the dense brown rice bread and fall-apart-after-a-week brown rice tortillas that I like, but only when fresh.

    So any recipe that I can make into a pizza is a good thing, since the crust is light and crispy. I use Namaste pizza crust mix.

    You cook the dough first, then add toppings, and cook again. So far, it is my go-to pizza crust mix. I don't want to try anything else because I love this one.

    And being someone who does yoga, how could I not be drawn to a company called Namaste?

    Ingredients

    Ginger Garlic Tofu

    • 14 oz. firm tofu
    • 1 tablespoon low sodium gluten free tamari
    • 1 tablespoon sesame oil + a little more for cooking
    • 2 teaspoons minced ginger
    • 1 clove garlic minced

    Chinese Pizza - per 7" pizza

    • 1 - 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
    • 3 tablespoons Ginger Garlic Tofu crumbled
    • 3 tablespoons chopped red pepper
    • 2 tablespoon chopped green onion
    • 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
    • Gluten free pizza crust mix or premade dough - I used Namaste
    US Customary - Metric

    Instructions

    Ginger Garlic Tofu

    • Press tofu with a tofu press or wrapped in a towel with a heavy object on top of tofu for at least 15 minutes to get water out.
    • Combine garlic, ginger, tamari, and sesame oil.
    • Slice tofu and put in marinade. Marinate overnight for the strongest flavor, or if you're in a hurry, marinate for at less an hour.
    • Heat sesame oil in a pan and add tofu. Cook on medium heat until golden brown, then flip and cook other side until golden brown.

    Chinese Pizza

    • Preheat oven to 450°. Make / cook pizza crust according to directions.*
    • Chop red pepper. Set aside.
    • Spoon hoisin sauce on pizza crust. I used only 1 tablespoon because it is so sweet. If you like it sweeter, use 1 ½ - 2 tablespoons.
    • Spread Ginger Garlic Tofu on pizza crust. Sprinkle on red pepper. Cook pizza at 450° for 10 minutes, or until red pepper is crisp tender.*
    • While pizza is cooking, chop cilantro and green onion. Sprinkle on cooked pizza.

    Notes

    My pizza crust needs to be cooked twice, so I cooked it for 10 minutes before adding topiings. Adjust instructions according to your pizza crust.

        There are definitely a lot of new foods when going veggie, aren't there! I have been vegan for 17 years and so many new foods have come along. I am really happy with all the new products and how much more aware restaurants (and people in general) are. It makes things so much easier!

        Poor tofu - it gets such a bad wrap. It really is as good as the ingredients you put with it. Think seasonings and sauce!
