Ingredients

• Cauliflower - 300 grams
• Pork belly - 200 grams
• Hoisin sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Mozzarella cheese - 100 grams, shredded
• Bell pepper - 1 medium, sliced
• Green onions - 2, chopped
• Egg - 1 large
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 220°C (428°F).
2. Cut the cauliflower into florets and steam until soft, about 8-10 minutes.
3. Drain the cauliflower and let it cool slightly, then pulse in a food processor until it forms a rice-like texture.
4. Transfer the cauliflower to a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture.
5. In a mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower, egg, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a dough.
6. Spread the cauliflower mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, shaping it into a pizza crust about 1 cm thick.
7. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
8. While the crust is baking, slice the pork belly into thin pieces and sauté in olive oil over medium heat until crispy, about 6-8 minutes.
9. Remove the crust from the oven and spread hoisin sauce evenly over the top.
10. Top with cooked pork belly, sliced bell pepper, and shredded mozzarella cheese.
11. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
12. Garnish with chopped green onions before slicing and serving.
