For the sauce:
- 1/4 cup Chef’s Choice coconut milk
- 1 tbsp Chef’s Choice red curry paste

- 1 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1/2 tsp Nature’s Charm vegan fish sauce (optional)

Simple Steps to Prepare Your Vegan Thai Red Curry Pizza
1. Preheat and Prep
Preheat your oven to 450°F. While the oven heats up, prep your veggies. Separate the white and light green scallions from the dark green ones (you’ll reserve the dark green scallions for garnish).
2. Mix the Sauce
In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, red curry paste, brown sugar, and red pepper flakes until smooth and fully combined. This no-cook sauce is ready to spread directly onto your vegan garlic naan for a bold base full of flavor!
3. Assemble the Pizza
Spread the red curry sauce evenly over the naan in a thick, even layer. Then, top with shredded carrots, red peppers, yellow onion, and the white and light green scallions. Add the chopped vegan chicken and generously sprinkle the vegan mozzarella over the top.
4. Bake to Perfection
Place the pizza in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melty and the crust is crispy.
5. Garnish and Serve
Once out of the oven, garnish with minced cilantro, dark green scallions, crushed peanuts, and a dash of red pepper flakes for extra heat if desired. Slice, serve, and enjoy the explosion of flavors in every bite!
