Treat your ingredients with care...
- Kimchi — Make sure to drain the kimchi well before chopping to remove excess liquid and prevent the pizza from becoming soggy.
- Bulgogi — For best results, thinly slice the cooked bulgogi against the grain to ensure tenderness and even distribution of flavor.
Tips & Tricks
- For a spicier kick, add a sprinkle of Korean red pepper flakes (gochugaru) on top of the pizza before baking.
- Experiment with different types of cheese such as cheddar or a blend of mozzarella and provolone for added flavor.
- If you prefer a crispier crust, pre-bake the pizza dough for a few minutes before adding the toppings.
- Customize your pizza by adding other Korean ingredients like sliced scallions or pickled radish as toppings.
- Leftover pizza can be reheated in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 5-7 minutes.
Serving advice
Serve the Kimchi and Bulgogi Pizza hot, straight from the oven. Cut it into slices and enjoy it as a main course or as a delightful party appetizer. Pair it with a side of tangy Korean dipping sauce or a refreshing cucumber salad to balance the flavors.
Presentation advice
To enhance the visual appeal of the pizza, garnish it with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and a drizzle of sesame oil just before serving. The vibrant colors of the kimchi and bulgogi will make this pizza a standout dish on any table.
