BBQ Duck Pizza

I came across this dish for the first time at the California Pizza Kitchen Restaurant in Jakarta awhile ago. I am indeed a big fan of duck (food-wise) and this pizza made a big impression on me for years. After I had found out that I could easily pick-up some BBQ duck at Chinese supermarket (T&T), I soon thought about that dish and how awesome it would be if I could recreate it myself. Talking about going down my culinary memory lane.

You can make it with a pizza dough, which will be more of an authentic pizza I suppose. But I'd rather make it quick and easy with only flatbread. So here it is for one flatbread portion of pizza:

1 flatbread

3 tbsp hoisin sauce

1 tbsp pizza sauce

the topping ingredients, slice thinly:

1/2 cup chinese bbq duck - discard fat

1/2 cup red or yellow paprika

1/3 cup mushroom

1/4 cup green onion

1/4 cup - dried chow-mein noodles

1/4 cup basil leaves (optional)

1/3 cup mozarella cheese


Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the flatbread followed with the hoisin sauce. Then spread the rest of the ingredients. Bake in 350F oven for about 10-15 minutes. Make sure the crust isn't getting too crispy.

Remove from heat.. and serve! yummmm...


Note:

Hoisin sauce can taste very salty although its gives out a sweet aroma. After the pizza's baked, most of the moisture from the sauce would've been evaporated. This will make the pizza taste overpoweringly salty. If necessary, you could make the hoisin sauce a little bit lighter by mixing it with 1 tbsp of plain yoghurt.
