A couple of weeks ago, I was really craving pizza, but I wanted something different. I started thinking of some of my other favorite meals that I could transform into a delicious pizza. The banh mi sandwich came to mind and I began to experiment!

On the first banh mi pizza experiment I placed the jalapenos, onions and carrots with the pork on the pizza before baking. The family consensus was that to be more true to a real banh mi sandwich, the toppings should be raw and added after the pizza was baked.

I also did a little experimenting with the sauce and about 5 pizza taste-tests later, the perfect banh mi pizza was born!

 How to make it

To make the perfect banh mi pizza, simply whisk together the sesame ginger sauce, cook up a little ground pork with half of the sauce and par-bake the pizza dough.

Top the par-baked pizza dough with the remainder of the sesame ginger sauce, the cooked pork and mozzarella cheese, bake, then add the raw onions, jalapenos and carrots on top. To finish it off, give it a little drizzle of sriracha and a sprinkling of fresh cilantro.
