Ingredients:

For the Pizza:

1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup imitation crab meat or real crab meat, shredded
1/4 cup green onions, chopped
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (for topping)
1 tablespoon olive oil (for brushing the crust)

For the Sweet and Sour Sauce (Optional):

1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar or white vinegar
1 teaspoon honey (optional for sweetness)

For Garnish (Optional):

Chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
Extra green onions

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Pizza Dough:

Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). If you’re using store-bought pizza dough, roll it out onto a pizza stone or baking sheet. If you’re making homemade dough, prepare it according to your recipe and stretch it into your desired shape and size.

Brush the edges of the dough with olive oil to help it crisp up in the oven and add a touch of flavor.

2. Make the Crab Rangoon Filling:

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded crab meat, chopped green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix everything together until smooth and well combined. The mixture should be creamy and spreadable.

3. Assemble the Pizza:

Spread the crab Rangoon filling evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust. Top the filling with shredded mozzarella cheese, ensuring it covers the entire surface.

4. Bake the Pizza:

Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted. The pizza should be cooked through and have a crispy crust.

5. Prepare the Sweet and Sour Sauce (Optional):

While the pizza is baking, you can make a simple sweet and sour sauce to drizzle on top after baking. In a small bowl, combine sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and honey (if desired). Stir until well mixed. This sauce adds a tangy and slightly sweet contrast to the rich crab Rangoon pizza.

6. Garnish and Serve:

Once the pizza is out of the oven, let it cool for a few min
