Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400℉ and line a pizza pan with parchment paper.
- In a large food processor, process the cauliflower until it is the texture of rice.
- Place the cauliflower into a large bowl and microwave for 7 minutes, stir, and microwave for an additional 7 minutes. Then, let the cauliflower stand until cool enough to handle, 10-15 minutes.
- Place the cauliflower on a thin kitchen towel and wring out all the excess moisture. Once you think you've gotten all the water out, transfer it to another thin towel and wring out again. Get out as much moisture as you can, as this is the key to a crust that won't be soggy.
- Transfer the cauliflower to a sheet of paper towel and use another paper towel to further press out some moisture. Place it back in the large bowl.
- Add 1/2 cup of the cheese, the ginger, garlic, salt, and a pinch of pepper. Stir until well combined and then add the egg white, mixing until well combined.
- Divide the cauliflower into 2 balls (about a heaping 1/2 cup each) and flatten each onto on the pizza pan, leaving a ridge for the crust. Your crust should be roughly 5 1/2 inches across.
- Bake until golden brown, about 25-30 minutes. While the pizza crust bakes, whisk all the ingredients for the sauce together in a medium bowl.
- Once the pizza is golden, remove from the oven and turn the oven to high broil.
- Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the remaining cheese onto each pizza and broil until melted, about 2-3 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and use a pancake flipper to gently slide the pizza crusts off the parchment and onto a grill. Also place the sliced red pepper on the grill. Cook until the bottom of the pizza is charred and begins to crisp, about 3 minutes.
- Gently remove the pizza and peppers from the grill. Divide the sauce between the 2 crusts, followed by the red peppers, a sprinkle of cilantro, green onion, and the remaining cheese (about 1 1/2 tablespoons of cheese per pizza).
- Place back onto the grill until the cheese is melted, about 2-3 minutes.
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve.
