How to Make Thai Pie

  1. Cook 1 cup of brown rice according to package directions (quick-cooking rice is recommended, approx 15-20 minutes).
  2. In a large bowl, combine cooked brown rice, 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, 1/4 cup peanut butter, and 1 large egg. Mix well.
  3. Press the rice mixture firmly into a 10-inch pie plate or a 12-inch pizza pan lightly coated with cooking spray.
  4. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 8 minutes.
  5. While the crust bakes, whisk together 3/4 cup peanut butter, 1/4 cup hot water, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons sesame oil, and 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes in a small bowl until smooth.
  6. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add 1 cup broccoli florets, 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion, 1/2 cup julienned carrots, and 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger. Stir-fry until tender-crisp (about 5-7 minutes). If using shredded carrots, add them with the ginger.
  7. Spread the peanut sauce evenly over the pre-baked rice crust.
  8. Top with the stir-fried broccoli mixture and 1/2 cup fresh mung bean sprouts, scattered evenly.
  9. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the top.
  10. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  11. Let stand for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
