THE ULTIMATE THAI PIZZA
This pizza has all the components of vegetable spring rolls: red pepper, carrots, and cilantro. Add some ginger garlic tofu, a pizza crust, and voilà; Thai Pizza is born.
This could be eaten hot or cold. I remember days of eating cold pizza for breakfast. I have not done that in years, but this could work for that. I personally liked it hot better.

3 tablespoons finely chopped carrots
3 tablespoons chopped red pepper
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
Instructions
Preheat oven to 450°.
Peanut sauce: Mix all peanut sauce ingredients in a high speed blender or NutriBullet until garlic and ginger are well blended. If you don't have either, then make sure garlic and ginger are very finely minced before blending. Refrigerate for at least an hour so that sauce thickens.
Ginger Garlic Tofu: Combine minced ginger and garlic with tamari, and sesame oil.
Press tofu with a tofu press or wrapped in a towel with a heavy object on top of tofu for at least 15 minutes to get water out.
Slice tofu and put in marinade. Marinate overnight for the strongest flavor, or if you're in a hurry, marinate for at less an hour.
Cook in sesame oil until golden brown, then flip and cook other side until golden brown.
Mix /cook pizza dough according to directions.
Pizza: Layer peanut sauce, tofu, carrots, and red pepper on pizza. Cook pizza at 450° for 10 minutes more.* Drizzle more peanut sauce, if desired. Sprinkle cilantro on top, slice, and serve.
