  • 3 Tbsp Gochujang paste 45 g
  • 1 Tbsp rice vinegar 15 mL
BBQ Pulled "Pork"
  • 4 king oyster mushrooms
  • 1 Tbsp oil 15 mL
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ¼ tsp each salt and cayenne pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • ¼ cup BBQ sauce 60 g
Pizza Toppings
  • 1 pizza dough
  • 1 ½ cups shredded Mozzarella cheese divided, 120 g
  • ½ cup Lucky Foods Seoul Kimchi 75 g
  • ¼ cup sliced red onion about ¼ of an onion
  • 3 scallions sliced
  • ¼ cup Kimchi mayo 50 g
  • To Serve: cilantro crushed red pepper flakes

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Sauce: Mix all Sauce ingredients, then set aside.
  2. BBQ Pulled "Pork": Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C). Using two forks, shred the stems and caps roughly into pieces. Set on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with oil, paprika, salt, cayenne, and garlic. Toss around to evenly coat the mushrooms, then bake for 20 minutes until they are a bit crispy and brown on the edges. In a bowl, stir together cooked mushrooms and BBQ sauce. When finished, increase oven heat to 450°F (230°C).
  3. Dough: Grease a large pan (circular or rectangular) well, optionally dusting it with cornmeal. Roll pizza dough out into a large circle or rectangle (depending on the shape of your pan), then transfer the dough to the pan.
  4. Assemble: Spread your sauce evenly onto the pizza, leaving about ½ inch free around the outside. Sprinkle on 1 cup of the cheese, then top with BBQ pulled "pork," kimchi, red onion, and scallions. Sprinkle on the remaining cheese.
  5. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes until the cheese is melted and golden brown in spots. Slice and serve warm, topped with Kimchi Mayo, fresh cilantro, and crushed red pepper flakes!

Notes

  • King oyster mushrooms can be found in most Asian supermarkets! You can substitute oyster mushrooms if needed (use about 3 heaping cups).
