So shhh while my family is busy watching TV, I'm here writing a short post. You see yesterday my friend dropped off some dough... No, not as in that kind of dough or cash, it was pizza dough. And just like a Quickfire challenge from Top Chef, I had to use the dough as today's ingredient. But then again if I was a Top Chef contestant, I would have lost because the dough was given yesterday, hahaha. No time pressure for me please.
Well I've never made pizza and I thought with the ready made dough, I'm a step closer to making my first. My inspiration was to take the flavors of an Asian favorite - pork bun or siopao, and add it to the pizza. So here it goes, my take on the asado pork pizza.
Asado Pork Pizza
Pre-heat oven to 500 degrees.
For my asado recipe click here.
Slice the pork into thin slices. Set aside.
Prepare other toppings:
Onions: slice and caramelize onions until they turn brown.
Peanuts: Roast some peanuts and pound them into tiny bits
Chives: slice them into tiny bits
Shape dough into pizza. Click here for a tutorial.
Spread asado sauce into the dough. Layer with onions, pork slices (I also added sausages, you could add more meats if you desire) Sprinkle peanuts and chives. Break an egg on top of the pizza.
Bake for 10 minutes and your pizza is ready!
You're very funny Malou! And my husband thinks I'm having an affair too! xx
ReplyDeleteit's funny how husbands think alike... thanks for coming over Charlie!

I really like this pizza. I've never made one quite like it and I'm dying to taste it.
ReplyDeleteThank you Maureen. I hope you could try it to fix that craving haha.

This recipe is a genius take on putting an Asian touch to pizza. This is absolutely one of the reasons why I am a fan. You know your food too well.
ReplyDeleteMayette
thank you for the kind words. I was surprised how the flavors played well together. It just came to me when I was cooking asado pork for dinner.
Deletethanks mayette!
Love the looks of your pizza! I've yet to try making my own pizza because I've read about how complicated the dough can be. You did a great job even though it was a pre-prepared dough. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Jenny, if I didn't have the pre-made dough I don't think I attempted to make my own pizza :) Im so glad my friend gave me a box of dough.
DeleteHappy Weekend,
Malou
Oh my, Malou! You've outdone yourself again here. Asado pork on homemade pizza? I'm hungry for lunch, and I just had breakfast! Thanks for sharing & pls. don't stop posting!
ReplyDeletethanks Betty Ann. I hope you are having a grand time this weekend. See you around.
DeleteMalou

Homemade pizza dough is an absolute favorite at my house, but I've never made it like this before! I love the egg on top most! (And my husband is constantly poking fun at my blog affair too!)
ReplyDeletehaha I told you husbands think a like... but tell him with this kind of "madness" that we have, they are of the advantage ... right? Thanks for dropping by!
Deletemalou

ReplyDeletethanks Reb,
Deletegreat to have you come by.
malou
fun! I don't know what asodo is so checking it out now!
ReplyDeleteHi Anh, Asado, sounds Spanish but it's actually the Chinese influence in our Filipino cuisine. I have the link above for the recipe. It's braised sweet soy based dish!
Deletethanks anh
Wow this is a nice Pinoy take on a classic pizza! There are already a lot of popular variation of this Italian classic like Mexican Nacho Pizza and Indian Satay Pizza, I hope this Filipino version becomes popular as well, and if that happens at least I know who invented it :)
ReplyDeleteJust amazing as usual! Beautiful. This beats the plain ol pizza I had for dinner today! Love the addition of the yolky egg. Braang it!
ReplyDeleteWow, such great flavor combos! Love the use of asado pork, but what really caught my eye was the peanuts and the egg. Very creative, and the egg looks so pretty. Really good post - thanks.
ReplyDeleteHi Malou!!! i just found out about your blog from Vivian D.! Wow! Foodie ka pala, I wish I could cook half as well as you do, but I'll surely try with your yummy recipes!!!! I just started my blog too but it's on home decorating, hope you can check it out someday too. Great blog - I started following you already! see you around!
ReplyDeleteHi Malou! OMG another delicious recipe with yummy pictures. Remember I told you before that I love dish that has egg on it... LOL. I'm completely sold and I have to somehow make this soon! Meanwhile I will continue to drool over your scrumptious pictures. Sigh!
ReplyDeleteYou just made me crave for this one. Sarap!
ReplyDeleteBtw, I've nominated you for "The Versatile Blogger" badge/award.

Always been a fan of your recipes. More power!
Oh, Malou! You had this gorgeous breakfast/lunch/dinner pizza since last Friday, and I totally missed it until now...I'm catching up with my comments since all weekend we had a tremendous tropical storm, in our area in S, Florida. Sunday was the worst.
ReplyDeleteI sure could have made this most amazing creative and yummy pizza, with a ready-made fresh bread dough from our supermarket. Enjoy your time with your children, family comes first, and you are such a great mom, and a good friend!
Hugs,
This looks simply a-mazing! Love that egg and I'd always say yes to asado, great idea to do it pizza style.
