Cooking Lab - Wafu-style Pizza with Red Wine Ox Tongue and Asian Greens

This pizza idea was birthed after we got bored with the typical pizza choices. 

I follow my creativity and come up with this delicious Asian pizza combination - topped with red-wine beef slices, roasted pumpkin, broccoli, Asian herbs and roasted peanuts. 


This is an inventive quick and tasty pizza that is perfect for a Friday night in.
