Tofu Kimchi Pizza (Really)

Beanies mama's Note:

According to msn.com, Kimchi is one of the '10 top healthy food you should eat but don't.' Tofu pizza dough with kimchi and bacon topping - as bizarr as it sounds, the ingredients are surprisingly complementary to each other. (I usually don't put in bacon.) If you are not too fond of kimchi try some other toppings, but at the least, try the dough. It is very healthy.

In my house we eat one vegetarian meal per week and it's tough to find dishes my family will eat. This one went over very well!
