Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball (approximately 12 inches in diameter) Pizza dough
- 200 grams Extra-firm tofu
- 150 grams (drained and chopped) Kimchi
- 200 grams (shredded) Mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons Gojujang (Korean chili paste)
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Honey or sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 stalks (finely sliced) Scallions
- 1 teaspoon (optional garnish) Toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 230°C (450°F) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.
Press the extra-firm tofu to remove excess moisture. Dice the tofu into small cubes.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the tofu cubes and cook until golden and crispy on all sides, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix gochujang, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey (or sugar), and garlic powder to create a sauce.
In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil and stir-fry the drained and chopped kimchi for 2-3 minutes until slightly caramelized. Mix the cooked tofu and the sauce into the skillet and toss to coat everything evenly. Set aside.
Roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle on a floured surface. Place it carefully on a sheet of parchment paper for easy transfer.
Spread a thin and even layer of the tofu-kimchi mixture over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the top.
Carefully transfer the pizza (with the parchment paper) onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is crispy and golden, and the cheese is bubbling and browned.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes. Garnish with sliced scallions and toasted sesame seeds if desired.
Slice, serve, and enjoy the bold flavors of your Tofu Kimchi Pizza!
