Ingredients
  

  • 2 rice paper sheets
  • 1 spring onion (scallion) diced
  • 3 tomatoes diced
  • 1 large brown onion diced
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 tsp ginger root grated
  • ½ tsp turmeric root grated
  • 5 mushrooms sliced
  • light soy sauce
  • black pepper
  • 1 cup scrambled tofu
  • no egg hollandaise sauce
  • sweet chilli sauce

Instructions
 

  • Dice the spring onions, then set aside.
  • In a small pan or pot, saute the brown onion and garlic in a bit of water until the onion is translucent. Add the mushrooms, tomatoes, ginger and turmeric and continue to saute until the tomatoes have softened and are combined with the other ingredients. Add in a small amount of light soy sauce and stir through. Finally, grind in some black pepper to release the benefits of the turmeric. Set aside.
  • Heat a nonstick pan large enough to take the rice paper flat. Place the dry rice paper into the pan. It will curl with the heat but will settle once other ingredients are added.
  • Next, sprinkle over ½ the spring onion, followed by ½ the tomato onion mix covering the rice paper.
  • Then, add ½ the scrambled tofu spread over the rice paper.
  • Lastly, swirl over the hollandaise sauce and the sweet chilli sauce. See pic above.
  • Take one end of the rice paper and fold it over the other half like an omelette. Press down gently then flip. You can add a small amount of either water or rice vinegar to the outside of the rice paper and flip it to help it seal and brown.
  • Remove from pan and keep warm while you make the second pizza. Serve immediately with a green salad on the side.
