Bánh Mì Pizza
Prepare the Chicken
- Slice the chicken into 2cm cubes. In a bowl, mix lemongrass, fish sauce, soy sauce, sugar, and lime juice/zest. Add chicken and marinate for at least 30 minutes. Cook the chicken on a baking sheet or in a pan until fully cooked. Cool and set aside.
Pickle the Vegetables:
- In a bowl, combine rice wine vinegar, warm water, sugar, and chili flakes. Stir until sugar dissolves. Add julienned carrot and cucumber. Season with salt and let pickle for 20 minutes.
Prepare the Pizza:
- Preheat the oven to 220°C (430°F). Roll out pizza dough into two 10-inch rounds. Place dough on pizza trays or a preheated stone. Spread each with 1 ladle of tomato sauce. Top with cubed mozzarella and marinated chicken.
Bake:
- Bake pizzas for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and cheese is melted.
Finish and Serve:
- Top with a generous amount of pickled carrot and cucumber. Garnish with fresh coriander, chopped roasted peanuts, and a drizzle of sriracha.
TIPS:
- Garlic, Chili, and Ginger: For an extra layer of flavour, fry garlic, chili, and ginger and mix into the tomato sauce before spreading on the dough.
- Marination: The longer you marinate the chicken, the more intense the flavour will be.
