Thai Tofu Pizza Recipe

Last Friday Matt and I made a delicious Thai Tofu Pizza for dinner. I didn’t take a picture (trust me it was pretty) but I want to share the recipe because (1) it really was delicious and (2) this way I’ll be able to make it again. So here goes:

1. Preheat over to 350F
2. Make pizza dough. I used this recipe for the dough. It was OK. Any basic pizza dough recipe, or pre-baked crust would be fine though
3. Make peanut sauce (adapted from visualrecipes.com). Combine in a blender and blend:
   • 1/4 cup peanut butter (nuked for 30 sec or so to soften it up)
   • 1/4 cup bottled stir fry sauce or hoisin sauce
   • 1 1/2 teaspoons honey
   • 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
   • 1 tablespoon minced ginger
   • 3 cloves of garlic chopped
   • 1 tablespoon sesame oil (sub: olive oil)
   • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
   • 1/2 teaspoon chili sauce
   • 1 1/2 teaspoons fish sauce or oyster sauce
   • 1 tablespoon water
4. Slice one block of firm tofu into thin strips and place in a baking dish. Put about 1/3 cup of the peanut sauce into a bowl and mix with a 1/2 cup water. Pour the diluted sauce over the tofu and bake for about 20 minutes
5. When the dough has risen (if you’re making fresh) kneed it a few times and then spread it out on a baking pan
6. Top the pizza with:
   • the rest of the peanut sauce
   • the baked tofu
   • 1 cup bean sprounts
   • 4 chopped green onions
   • 1 carrot, julliened
   • 1 red pepper cut into strips
   • 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese

7. Bake in 350F oven for about 20 minutes (until the crust is cooked and the cheese is bubbly).
8. Garnish with fresh chopped cliantro and/or chopped peanuts
