Looking for something out of the ordinary to top your next pizza? Try kimchi. Funky tangy cabbage kimchi pairs deliciously with creamy fresh mozzarella and gochujang, a Korean red chili paste with sweet heat and a fermented umami richness. The sauce is definitely spicy but also has a balanced fruitiness, slight smokiness and depth of flavor from the sun-dried Korean red peppers. The resulting global flatbread is unique and quite irresistible (for the grown-ups, that is). Crispy roasted seasoned seaweed and whimsical scallion curls add the final flourishes.

Kimchi Flatbread Recipe

Preheat oven to 400°F.

  • lavash flatbread
  • olive oil

Brush both sides of lavash flatbread with a very light coat of olive oil. Place on a rimmed baking sheet and heat for a couple minutes to slightly crisp up the flatbread.

  • 3 T. gochujang (Korean red pepper paste)
  • 1 t. toasted sesame oil
  • 1 t. rice vinegar and
  • 1 t. sugar

For the sauce, mix ingredients together in a small bowl. Add a little water if too thick. Brush a thin layer of gochujang sauce over the warmed flatbread.
