  • 3 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup

Asian Slaw

  • 2 scallions washed and chopped
  • 1/2 carrot washed and peeled into thin strips
  • 1/4 head purple cabbage sliced thin

  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1/2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger minced
  • 1 clove garlic crushed

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Preheat your pizza stone if you have one.
  • Drain and rinse the jackfruit. On a cutting board, using two forks, gently pull apart the jackfruit. It should have the appearance of pulled pork or chicken as you work. Wrap the pulled jackfruit into a clean towel and allow to dry, pressing out any additional moisture. Allow to rest.
  • While the jackfruit is drying, in a small bowl, mix together all of the ingredients for the Asian BBQ sauce. 
  • In a large skillet, heat 1 T. of your high temperature oil. I used sesame oil. When shimmering, add the jackfruit and season with salt and pepper.  Allow to cook, stirring occasionally, until the jackfruit becomes just a little bit crispy. 
  • Add roughly 2/3rds of your Asian BBQ sauce. Stir to combine. Cook until the liquid is absorbed and the jackfruit takes on crispy edges, stirring frequently. About 10-15 minutes. 
  • While the jackfruit is cooking, make your pizza dough. Combine the dry yeast package, with 1 T. oil, 1 T. maple syrup and 1 c. very warm water. Allow to sit for five minutes. You should start to see bubbles. In the meantime, put 2 c. white flour into your food processer and a pinch of salt. 
  • Slowly add the yeast and water to the flour in the food processor and mix until a dough ball forms. You may need to add more flour. Add additional flour 1 T. at a time.
  • Roll out your pizza dough and allow it to bake until almost the desired crispiness. About 10-12 minutes.  Pull it out of the oven, spread the remaining BBQ on the top and bake until crispy. About 2-3 minutes. The sauce should thicken slightly.
  • While the pizza crust is cooking, mix the last 6 ingredients for the Asian slaw together and combine in a small bowl with the scallions, purple cabbage and carrots. Toss and allow to rest.
  • Remove the pizza dough from the oven. Top the pizza with the pulled BBQ jackfruit, the Asian slaw, the green scallions and fresh cilantro.
