Pad Thai Pizza Recipe

I owe you all one more recipe, which I promise I will get scanned and posted by tomorrow. Here is our Pad Thai Pizza Recipe. It is one of the dinners that Harsha makes exclusively, so I needed him to write down his recipe. Here goes!

PAD THAI PIZZA

1 Prepared Pizza Crust (We always use Boboli because it is so much faster than making our own crust.)
2 large carrots, shredded
4 oz water chestnuts, chopped
1.5 cups shredded cheese (we always use a cheddar blend)
Tofu, chopped (optional)
Bean Sprouts
Cilantro


Sauce Recipe (per Harsha):

1/2 Onion.
1 tbsp oil.
1 or 2 really spicy indian green chillies. (Everything indian is spicy, even husbands. If you don't have access to spicy inidans, then you can just use ground cayenne.) (Scheri's comment: serrano peppers work well and yes, he is spicy!)
1 medium tomato

Blend Onion, chillies and oil in the blender. (Add Tomatoes, if you are going to use it as a pizza sauce). If you are using ground cayenne, then you can just add it later.

1 tsp garlic
Soy sauce to taste.
1 tsp Lemon Juice.
1 tsp Vinegar (I used Red Wine Vinegar)
Can also add some Veg Bullion and cut down on the soy sauce (this will make the sauce thinner, so you can use on noodles or rice)
1/4 cup Peanut Butter (crunchy or creamy, your preference)

In saucepan, mix the blended onion mixture with the ingredients above. Simmer for about 5 minutes.

For crispier crust, cook the pizza crust for 5-8 minutes before putting on toppings.

Liberally apply peanut sauce to the crust. Add the carrots, water chestnuts, tofu, and cheese. Cook for 10 minutes.

Cut pizza and garnish with the bean sprouts and cilantro.


Our kids love the pizza, especially the bean sprouts! We use the sauce recipe for peanut pad thai noodles too and it works very well.
