For the Sauce:

  • ¼ cup hoisin sauce
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil

Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Dough Base

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C).
  2. Roll out the pizza dough into a thin, round shape or place scallion pancakes on a lined baking sheet.
  3. Brush lightly with olive oil for a crispy crust.

🔥 Pro Tip: If using scallion pancakes, pan-fry them first to enhance crispiness!

2️⃣ Make the Hoisin Sauce Base

  1. In a small bowl, mix hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and chili flakes.
  2. Spread an even layer of sauce over the pizza dough or scallion pancakes.

🔥 Pro Tip: For extra richness, mix a little peanut butter into the sauce!

3️⃣ Assemble the Pizza

  1. Sprinkle a generous layer of shredded cheese over the sauce.
  2. Add shredded Peking duck or char siu pork evenly over the pizza.
  3. Top with sliced shiitake mushrooms, scallions, and a sprinkle of five-spice powder.

🔥 Pro Tip: Add pickled ginger or crispy wonton strips for extra crunch!

4️⃣ Bake to Crispy Perfection

  1. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  2. Sprinkle sesame seeds and drizzle with extra hoisin sauce before serving.

🔥 Pro Tip: For a smoky charred flavor, finish under the broiler for 1-2 minutes!

5️⃣ Slice & Serve

  1. Let the pizza rest for 2 minutes before slicing.
  2. Serve hot, garnished with extra scallions or a drizzle of Sriracha.

🔥 Pro Tip: Pair with a side of chili oil or sweet chili sauce for dipping!
