Pizza in China
There’s an old tale that Pizza originated in China. When Marco Polo came to China, he encountered scallion pie, a flat bread that uses dough instead of a batter. When Marco Polo returned to Italy he met a chef from Naples at a dinner party and persuaded him to recreate the dish, putting the fillings on top of the dough instead of the inside.
Take a look at some of the other pizzas from China here.

Pizza Dough Method
You can either make your own dough following the simple steps below, or you can purchase a premade pizza base at your local store.
- Whisk the lukewarm water and yeast in a plastic or glass jug. Let mixture stand for five minutes.
- Add salt and flour in a large bowl. Create a hollow well in the middle and gently pour the liquid yeast mixture and oil.
- Using a spatula, or your hands, mix the dough really well until smooth. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured work surface and knead for five minutes.
- Lightly oil a bowl, and place dough in it and cover with plastic wrap. Leave in a warm place to rise for 30 minutes to an hour, or until it doubles in size.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for another 5 minutes or until smooth.
- Sprinkle a little flour on the bench before rolling to prevent dough from sticking.
- Divide the dough into balls, and roll out bases to desired size.

Tomato Pizza Sauce Method
It takes around five minutes to make this tasty pizza sauce following the simple steps below, or you can purchase a bottle of pizza sauce at your local shop.
- Combine all ingredients in a large bowl.
- Pizza sauce should be reasonably smooth.

Preparing Asian Seafood Pizza
Preheat your kitchen oven to approximately 500 degrees.
Roll out the dough to either slightly smaller than your pizza stone (if you have one) or on a metal tray for the kitchen oven.
Alternatively, if you have a pizza oven, roll out to be smaller than your pizza peel.
First, spread the sauce around. This pizza calls for Wasabi Mayonnaise. Spread the Wasabi Mayonnaise evenly using the back of a large spoon or the blunt side of a knife.
You should start by adding the largest ingredients, then work your way down. The last is any cheese topping, such as Mozzarella, which you should evenly cover the other toppings with, and then finally any herbs.
The toppings to include on this pizza are;
- Shrimp
- Crab
- Tuna
- Mozzarella
- Purple Onion
- Bell Pepper
- Honey

Oven time
Put the Asian Seafood pizza on the middle shelf of the oven and set a timer for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, open the door and check the pizza.
This pizza should take approximately 15 minutes, however allow it to cook to personal taste.
About Honey
The color and flavor of Honey is determined by the flowers from which the nectar is gathered by the bees. Some of the most desirable honeys are produced from clover nectar by domestic honeybees.
Honey is known to be an antidepressant, anticonvulsant and have anti-anxiety benefits as well. Some studies have shown that honey helps prevent some memory disorders.
Pizza Tools
When making Asian Seafood Pizza, it’s always handy to have the right pizza making tools. Here’s the basic pizza tools that I always suggest…
Pizza Peel
A pizza peel aka paddle is a crucial tool for those who are making pizza often.
Pizza Cutter
The one kitchen tool every adult should have in their drawer. See our article on how to cut pizza for the various cutting tools.
Rolling Pin
Yes, I know, many people swear by hand stretching, however there’s times in all our lives where we need a good wooden roller.
Purple Onion
Purple onions are an unexpected topping that give pizzas an interesting flavor twist. Purple onions are surprisingly sweet and have a milder taste than standard white or yellow onions.
To maximize the sweetness of purple onions, slice them thinly and place on top of the pizza before baking it in the oven. The combination of melty cheese with sweet onion slices will tantalize your taste buds!
Storing Pizza
Want to store some leftovers after your meal? Here are a few tips.
