- 1 teaspoon ginger paste or 1/2 teaspoon ginger powder
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons tamarind paste or rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 1/2 teaspoons chili garlic sauce
For the Pizza
- 1 homemade or store-bought pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil + extra for drizzle
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (about 1 cooked chicken breast)
- 2 cups mozzarella, grated
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 cup bean sprouts
- 1/2 cup shelled peanuts, roughly chopped
- 1-2 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
- Fresh ground black pepper as desired
- Lime slices, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425˚F. Roll pizza dough into a 12" circle. Place in refrigerator to chill.
- While pizza is chilling, make the peanut sauce: combine all ingredients for the sauce in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Toss shredded chicken in half of the peanut sauce. Set aside.
- Remove pizza dough from the fridge. Gently brush with a drizzle of olive oil then spread with the remaining peanut sauce, leaving the edges sauce free.
- Sprinkle 1 ½ cups of the mozzarella all over the pizza, again leaving the edges clean to create a crust.
- Top with shredded chicken, red onion, and shredded carrots. Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella cheese.
- Place the pizza on a round pizza pan, or baking sheet and put on the middle rack in the oven. Bake for 15 minutes, until cheese is melted and crust is golden.
- Remove from oven and top with bean sprouts, chopped peanuts, cilantro, and fresh ground black pepper as desired. Serve immediately with lime slices.
