• Cooked jasmine rice - 200g
• Pineapple chunks - 100g (fresh or canned, drained)
• Bell pepper - 1 small (diced)
• Carrot - 1 small (grated)
• Green onion - 2 stalks (sliced)
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Vegetable oil - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic - 2 cloves (minced)

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F).
2. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Add the diced bell pepper and grated carrot to the skillet, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until softened.
4. Stir in the cooked jasmine rice, pineapple chunks, soy sauce, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to combine the flavors.
5. Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped cilantro and sliced green onions.
6. Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness and transfer it to a baking tray or pizza stone.
7. Spread the pineapple fried rice mixture evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
8. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly on top of the fried rice mixture.
9. Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
10. Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes before slicing. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
