INGREDIENTS:
basic pizza dough 2 tablespoons soy sauce 1-1/2 tablespoons Chinese rice wine or dry sherry
1-1/2 teaspoons cornstarch 2 teaspoons granulated sugar 3/4 pound boned pork shoulder, thinly sliced and then cut into slivers 2 inches long by 1 inch wide
1/4 cup peanut oil for stir-frying 6 eggs, lightly beaten 3/4 cup dried tiger lily buds (about 45 buds), soaked in warm water for 30 minutes, then hard tips broken off and discarded and buds sliced in half crosswise
8 dried cloud ears or black Chinses mushrooms, soaked in warm water for 30 minutes, then drained and chopped (discard hard stems and other portions) about 1/2 cup Asian-style sesame oil or peanut oil salt
cornmeal, if using a pizza peel about 1 cup hoisin sauce 6 green onions, cut into 1-inch-long pieces and then slivered



1 Prepare the dough and preheat the oven as directed in the basic repice.
2 In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, rice wine or sherry, cornstarch, and sugar and mix well. Add the slivered pork and toss well. Let stand about 5 minutes.
3 Heat a wok or deep-sided skillet over high heat until hot. Add about 2 tablespoons peanut oil, reduce the heat to medium, and add the eggs. Cook, stirring constantly, just until the eggs are set. Scrape them out into a bowl and reserve.
4 Return the wok or skillet to the heat and add 2 more tablespoons peanut oil. Add the marinated pork mixture and stir-fry just until the meat is no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Add the lily buds and cloud ears or mushrooms and stir-fry until heated through, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the cooked eggs. Season to taste with sesame oil, if using, and salt to taste. Reserve.
5 Shape the pizza dough as directed in the basic recipe. Brush dough all over with sesame or peanut oil, then spoon on a layer of the hoisin sauce, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges. Top the hoisin with the stir-fried pork-and-egg mixture and drizzle evenly with sesame or peanut oil.
6 Transfer the pie to the preheated baking surface and bake as directed in the basic recipe. Remove from the oven to a cutting tray or board and lightly brush the crust with sesame or peanut oil. Sprinkle with the green onions, slice, and serve immediately.
