Gather the following ingredients
For this recipe, include one vegan pizza base, two tablespoons peanut butter, one tablespoon soy sauce or tamari, one teaspoon tamarind paste, one teaspoon maple syrup, one-half cup water, one cup shredded carrots, one cup bean sprouts, one-half cup sliced green onions, one-half cup chopped cilantro, one-quarter cup crushed peanuts for garnish, and lime wedges to serve.
Prepare the Pad Thai sauce
Begin by preparing the Pad Thai sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce (or tamari), tamarind paste, maple syrup, and water until you achieve a smooth consistency. This sauce will bring the distinct Pad Thai flavor to your pizza. Adjust the thickness by adding more or less water according to your preference.
Prep toppings & preheat oven
As the oven preheats to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (about 220 degrees Celsius), prepare your toppings. Finely shred carrots using a grater or food processor for efficiency. Slice green onions thinly to add a crisp flavor. Roughly chop cilantro leaves, introducing a fresh, herby touch. These toppings will add both crunch and freshness to the fusion pizza, enhancing its overall flavor profile and visual appeal.
Assemble your pizza
Spread an even layer of the prepared Pad Thai sauce over your vegan pizza base, leaving some space at the edges for crust formation. Evenly distribute shredded carrots and bean sprouts over the sauce, followed by sliced green onions and chopped cilantro. The vibrant colors not only make this dish visually appealing but also pack it with diverse flavors.
Bake & garnish
Bake the pizza at 425 degrees Fahrenheit (about 220 degrees Celsius) for 10-12 minutes until the crust is golden and crispy. Let it cool slightly, then garnish with crushed peanuts for added texture and a nutty flavor typical of Pad Thai. Serve with lime wedges for a tangy kick. This dish combines exotic flavors in a vegan, eggless form, offering a unique taste experience.
