Ingredients

• 1 12 ” (30 cm) thin pizza crusts ((or pizza dough))
• 2 teaspoons sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon minced kimchi
• 2 teaspoons gochujang ((or 1 teaspoon doubanjiang))
• 1 clove garlic
• 1/2 can (4 oz/113 g) tomato sauce ((about 3/4 cup))
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1/3 cup thin sliced kimchi
• 1/2 ball fresh mozzarella cheese (, sliced (or 1 cup shredded mozzarella))

Method

1. Heat the sesame oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the kimchi, gochujang, and garlic. Cook and stir occasionally, until the gochujang is lightly toasted, 2 minutes or so.
2. Add the tomato sauce and sugar. Stir and cook until bringing to a simmer. Lower the heat and let the sauce simmer to thicken slightly, 3 minutes or so. Once done, transfer the sauce to a bowl to cool slightly before using.
3. Preheat the oven to 550 F (290 C).
4. Place the pizza crust on a large baking sheet. Spread 3 tablespoons of pizza sauce in a thin even layer on the pizza crust (*Footnote 2). Spread the kimchi evenly over it, and cover it with a layer of sliced (or shredded) cheese.
5. Place the baking sheet in the fully heated oven. Bake for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the crust turns golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
6. Slice the pizza and enjoy!
