Main Ingredients- 1 medium sweet potato
- 1/8 each of various colored bell peppers (e.g., red, yellow)
- 1/8 onion
- 2 Vienna sausages
- 1 strip thick-cut bacon
- 70g shredded mozzarella cheese (pizza cheese)
- 1 handful fresh baby greens
- 50g shredded salad cheese
Seasoning and Sauce- 3 Tbsp Bologna sauce (or Ragu sauce)
- 1 Tbsp balsamic glaze
- 3 Tbsp cornstarch (or potato starch)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3 Tbsp Bologna sauce (or Ragu sauce)
- 1 Tbsp balsamic glaze
- 3 Tbsp cornstarch (or potato starch)
- 1/2 tsp salt
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare all your ingredients. Peel the sweet potato and julienne it as thinly and finely as possible. Briefly blanch the Vienna sausages and bacon in boiling water to remove excess fat, then slice them into bite-sized pieces. Slice the bell peppers thinly or mince them finely (mincing is recommended if serving to children who dislike vegetables). Wash the baby greens thoroughly and pat them completely dry. For the onion, slice it thinly and soak it in cold water for about 10 minutes to mellow its sharp flavor.
Step 2
In a bowl, toss the julienned sweet potato with 3 tablespoons of cornstarch and 1/2 teaspoon of salt until evenly coated. Heat a generous amount of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the seasoned sweet potato noodles into the pan, forming them into thin, round pizza crust shapes. Fry until golden brown and crispy on both sides, similar to making a pancake.
Step 3
Spread 3 tablespoons of Bologna sauce evenly over the crispy sweet potato crust. Then, arrange the blanched Vienna sausages, cooked bacon, sliced onions, and minced bell peppers attractively over the sauce. If preparing for children, ensure the vegetables are minced very finely to make them easier to eat.
Step 4
Generously sprinkle 70g of shredded mozzarella cheese over the toppings. Now, melt the cheese using either an oven or a skillet. Place the pizza in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 3 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and golden brown. If using a skillet, cover it with a lid and cook over low heat for about 5 minutes until the cheese melts.
Step 5
Let the finished pizza cool slightly. Top generously with the fresh baby greens. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of balsamic glaze over the greens in a zigzag pattern. Finally, sprinkle 50g of shredded salad cheese over everything to finish. You now have a beautifully balanced Sweet Potato Noodle Pizza Salad, combining sweetness, crispiness, and freshness!
