Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, 1 cup of sour cream, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of ginger powder, and 1 teaspoon of sugar. Mix until smooth. Gently fold in 1 ½ cups of shredded crab meat.
  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out pizza dough to about ½ inch thick. Let it rest for 5 minutes.
  3. Transfer the rolled-out dough onto a baking sheet. Spoon the creamy crab mixture onto the center, spreading towards the edges while leaving a 1-inch border.
  4. Evenly sprinkle 1 ½ cups of shredded mozzarella cheese over the crab filling.
  5. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Bake the pizza for 14-16 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and cheese is bubbly.
  6. Allow the pizza to rest for 2 minutes. Garnish with sliced green onions and drizzle with sweet chili sauce before slicing and serving.
