Chinese Pizza

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?

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.
