Ingredients

Pizza

• Pizza dough
• InnovAsian General Tso’s Chicken
• Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• Broccoli florets
• Red onion, thinly sliced

Homemade Buttermilk Ranch Dressing

• Mayo
• Sour cream
• Buttermilk
• Chives
• Lemon juice
• Parsley
• Onion powder
• Garlic powder
• Salt
• Pepper
• Sugar

Garnish

• Parsley, chopped

How to Make It

Step 1: Make the Buttermilk Ranch
In a bowl, mix together mayo, sour cream, buttermilk, chives, lemon juice, parsley, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and sugar until smooth. Place it in the fridge to chill while you prepare the pizza.

Step 2: Prepare the General Tso’s Chicken
Cook InnovAsian’s General Tso’s Chicken according to the package instructions in the air fryer. Warm the included sauce in the microwave in short intervals, reserving a bit for garnish later. Once the chicken is cooked, cut it into bite-sized pieces and toss it in the warm sauce.

Step 3: Assemble the Pizza
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Grease a 12-inch pizza pan, then stretch your dough evenly across it. Spread a layer of homemade ranch over the dough, followed by shredded mozzarella. Top with the saucy chicken pieces, broccoli florets, and red onion slices.

Step 4: Bake to Perfection
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve
Finish with a drizzle of the reserved sauce and a sprinkle of fresh parsley. Slice and enjoy while hot.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover slices in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, place in an air fryer or oven at 350°F for 3–5 minutes to bring back that perfect crisp crust and melty cheese. Avoid microwaving if you can—it softens the crust.

How to Make General Tso Chicken Crispy Rice Balls

Prepare the Chicken
Air fry the InnovAsian General Tso’s Chicken according to the package instructions. While the chicken cooks, warm the included sweet and spicy Asian-style BBQ sauce in the microwave using 10-second intervals until heated through.

Cook the Rice
Follow the instructions on the InnovAsian Sticky White Rice box. Once cooked, let it cool for 5 to 10 minutes so it’s easier to handle.

Make the Egg Wash and Breadcrumbs
Whisk together the eggs and water for the egg wash. In a separate bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with sesame seeds, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt.

Mix and Form the Rice Balls
Chop the cooked General Tso’s Chicken into bite-sized pieces. Add it to a large bowl with the cooked rice, cubed mozzarella, green onion, and the warmed sauce. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined.
Using your hands, form the mixture into firm balls slightly larger than a golf ball, pressing to ensure they hold their shape.

Bread the Rice Balls
Dip each rice ball into the egg wash, then into the seasoned breadcrumbs. Repeat by dipping once more into the egg wash and finishing with a final dredge in the breadcrumbs. Press gently so the coating sticks.

Fry Until Golden
Heat a pot of canola oil to 350°F. Working in batches, fry the rice balls for 3 to 4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Make the Creamy Sweet Chili Sauce
In a small bowl, stir together the Japanese mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and water until smooth and creamy.

Serve and Enjoy
Serve your crispy rice balls hot with a generous side of the creamy sweet chili sauce for dipping. Get ready to savor the crunch, the cheese pull, and that sweet heat in every bite.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover rice balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven or air fryer at 375°F for 6 to 8 minutes, or until hot and crispy again. Avoid microwaving to preserve the crunch.
