Fast & Easy Dinner: Teriyaki Tofu Pizza

May 1, 2008

Grated tofu makes an excellent topping to vegetarian pizza. Instead of a typical tomato sauce, in this recipe, the pizza crust is covered with a thick layer of teriyaki sauce.

Peppers and mozzarella cheese complement the tofu topping. Garnished with bean sprouts and green onions, this pizza is fragrant, flavorful, and fabulous.

Heh I've tried tofu in a lot of different ways, and I still don't enjoy it - might pass that one.

How the hell do you grate tofu? Wouldn't even the firmest just turn to mush?

Sorry Yum, I eat a lot of tofu, and I would never just grate it plain on a pizza like this recipe calls for. Sounds like a way to really turn people off from tofu. What I might try doing if I wanted to try tofu on pizza is to slice the tofu in thin squares (like pepperoni), marinate in a salty seasoning and fry, then put on top. Then it would add to the pizza experience at least texture-wise, instead of just sitting there like a flavorless mushy bump on a log.

Wow! This sounds great. I've somehow never thought to grate tofu. I'll definitely be trying this with vegan mozza.
