• Soy sauce - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. Peel and grate the taro root into a large bowl, then add salt and let it sit for 10 minutes to release excess moisture.
2. Rinse the grated taro under cold water and drain well, then mix in the all-purpose flour and water to form a dough.
3. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
4. Spread the taro dough evenly in the skillet to form a pizza base, cooking for about 10 minutes or until the bottom is golden and crispy.
5. Flip the taro base carefully and cook the other side for another 5-7 minutes until crispy.
6. Once cooked, remove the base from the skillet and place it on a baking sheet.
7. Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).
8. Spread the shredded mozzarella cheese over the taro base, then top with diced red bell pepper and chopped green onions.
9. Drizzle soy sauce and chili oil over the toppings for added flavor.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
