LADIES AND GENTLEPANTS, I PRESENT YOU:

MI GORENG PIZZA!

After weeks of consideration and pussyfooting, I created the monster. The beautiful delicious monster. You could now consider me a Pizza Goddess amongst Pizza Mortals. It all started with a request from a good friend, and because it was partly my fault that the idea emerged, it was only right that I materialised it.
It’s a lot nicer than it sounds – I will certainly be doing it again. It’s a great alternative to other options for vegetarian pizza, and an interesting Indonesian take on an Italian classic.
Upon request, I have provided the recipe.

Enjoy! <3

Ingredients:

The dough: As seen here, though I didn’t leave it over night, so it was much denser and only had a yield of two bases.

The toppings:

• 2 Tablespoons of Stirfry sauce of your choice
• 1 Tablespoon of Honey Soy marinade
• 3 1/2 Tablespoons of Soy Sauce (more to your taste)
• 1 small/medium carrot, grated finely or processed roughly
• 1 packet of Mi Goreng ( and included seasonings and sauces)
• Handful of peas
• A few broccoli florets, cut lengthwise
• Handful of grated cheese
• Sweet chilli dip
• Egg, if you wish (I didn’t have any, but it is traditionally used in Mi Goreng)

Method:

1. After preparing the dough, cook the noodles as indicated. While doing this, steam the peas and broccoli above it, or boil in a separate saucepan if you wish.
2. While that is cooking, mix the three sauces and the carrot – this will be the base sauce of the pizza as tomato and soy are just too weird to mix, in my humble opinion. Set this aside.
3. When the noodles are done, drain them and add the sauces and seasonings that came with the packet, and set this aside.
4. Remove the vegetables once they are cooked, and also set them aside.
5. Add the carrot and sauce mix to the pizza base, try to spread it evenly
6. Add the Mi Goreng, also spreading evenly
7. Arrange the broccoli in a circle, in the centre. You don’t have to do this, but I like nice presentation.
8. Sprinkle the peas around the outside, evenly.
9. Dollop some sweet chilli dip in the centre, this will melt in the oven and add a creamyness to the pizza, which is great.
10. Add the grated cheese around the outside, keep in mind that the noodles may burn if you don’t rotate the pizza every once in a while, as well as if they’re not evenly enough covered by cheese.
11. Add the egg if you want, and slam that fool into the oven until it is cooked as well as you desire. (about 15-20 minutes, give or take. I wasn’t really timing)

Enjoy the deliciousness, and street cred you will gain after producing something so delicious.
