    "This is a family favorite! We all LOVE the peanut sauce. We put in on salad too. My kids eat more veggies because of it. Thank you so much for this great recipe! - Ana"

    If you were to ask me to choose one food that I could bring on a deserted island, it would be this vegan Thai Pizza.

    First of all, I could practically drink the sauce. Second, I love the taste of ginger garlic flavored tofu. Third, it's a pizza, need I say more?

    This Thai Pizza recipe has all the components of vegetable spring rolls: red pepper, carrots, and cilantro. Add some ginger garlic tofu, a pizza crust, and voilà; Thai Pizza is born.

    This could be eaten hot or cold. I remember days of eating cold pizza for breakfast. I have not done that in years, but this could work for that. I personally liked it hot better.

    Another recipe with peanut butter is my Payday Bars recipe. Another Thai-inspired recipe is my Thai Green Curry Salad recipe. You might also like my Vegan Chinese Pizza.

    ❤️ Why You'll Love It

    • It has all the flavors of spring rolls but in the form of pizza.
    • It tastes good hot or cold.
    • The peanut sauce is really versatile; thin it out to use on a salad or as a dipping sauce.

    🧾 Ingredients

    Peanut Sauce

    • Peanut butter: I used all-natural peanut butter. You could also use shelf-stable peanut butter.
    • Coconut milk: I used full-fat coconut milk, but light coconut milk would also work.
    • Rice vinegar: Adds a tangy flavor. You could also use apple cider vinegar or lime juice.
    • Coconut sugar: Adds sweetness. You could also use maple syrup, brown sugar, white sugar, or your favorite sweetener.
    • Toasted sesame oil: Adds a nutty flavor. I used toasted sesame oil
    • Tamari: Adds an umami flavor. I used low-sodium gluten-free tamari because I like to control the amount of sodium.
    • Garlic: Adds a pungent flavor.
    • Ginger root: Adds a spicy flavor.
    • Sriracha sauce: Adds a spicy flavor.

    Ginger Garlic Tofu

    • Ginger root: Adds a spicy flavor.
    • Garlic: Adds a pungent flavor.
    • Tamari: Adds an umami flavor.
    • Toasted sesame oil: Adds a nutty flavor.
    • Tofu: I used firm tofu packed in water found in the refrigerated section of the grocery store. You could also use extra firm tofu.

    Pizza

    • Pizza dough: When I originally published this recipe I used a vegan gluten-free pizza mix. When I republished this recipe I used my homemade pizza dough with vegan yogurt. You could use your favorite pizza mix or pizza dough.
    • Peanut sauce: Adds a creamy nutty flavor.
    • Carrots and red pepper: Add a sweet fresh flavor.
    • Cilantro: I love cilantro with this, but I know for some people it tastes like soup. You could also use fresh mint or green onion.

    To see the full list of ingredients with measurements and instructions, see the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

        You could use oat milk, cashew milk or almond milk instead.

      This recipe is fabulous, and I really enjoyed making and eating it last night. Your nutrition facts are quite confusing, however. This certainly serves more than one person. It contains tofu and peanuts, so there's no way that it has only zero grams of protein or only 6 grams of carbohydrates. Would you mind clarifying the correct proportions? At least a closer estimate would help. Thank you!

        Thanks for pointing it out Laura! The nutrition info is not calculated manually, so mistakes are sometimes overlooked. I changed it so that it reflects approximate info for a whole pizza, including the tofu and peanut sauce listed.

      Can you use Almond butter rather than peanut butter if you can’t have peanuts?

      Can the peanut sauce be stored in the fridge for a few days? This recipe makes one cup, you are not using it all at once, correct?

        That's correct. Yes, you'll want to store it inn the fridge.
