Banh Mi-Inspired Pizza
Ingredients
- 1 lb (0.5 kg) prepared pizza dough
- ¼ cup (60 mL) julienned carrots
- ¼ cup (60 mL) julienned cucumber
- ¼ cup (60 mL) julienned daikon or radish of choice
- ¼ cup (60 mL) fresh coriander
- 1 green onion, sliced thinly on the bias
- ½ cup (125 mL) Kewpie mayonnaise
- 8 pieces of breaded chicken pieces (e.g. chicken fingers or strips)
- 4 eggs
- Lime wedges
Instructions
- Step 1
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to preheat at the same time.
- Step 2
On a lightly floured surface, roll out pizza dough into four equal sized rounds, each about 5 inches (13 cm) in diameter. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise while you prepare toppings.
- Step 3
Assemble toppings (carrots, cucumber, daikon, coriander, and green onion) in small bowls for easy garnishing. Set aside.
- Step 4
Spread Kewpie mayonnaise evenly over pizzas. Place pizzas in the hot oven. Place chicken pieces on a baking pan alongside the pizza.
- Step 5
Bake until pizza is puffed and golden and chicken is cooked and browned, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool for 3 to 5 minutes.
- Step 6
In a nonstick frying pan, fry eggs sunny side up until the yolks are just set, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Step 7
Add toppings to pizzas as desired, as well as 2 chicken fingers and a fried egg per pizza.
- Step 8
If desired, top with additional Kewpie mayo, or serve with some Kewpie as a dipping sauce along with fresh lime wedges.
