8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup drained and chopped water chestnuts
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons Chinese hot mustard, plus more for serving
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
2 scallions, sliced, plus more for garnish
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground white or black pepper

Directions
Special equipment:
a pizza stone or rimmed baking sheet- Place a pizza stone or an inverted rimmed baking sheet on the bottom rack of the oven and preheat to 500 degrees F.
- Combine the crab, cream cheese, water chestnuts, mayonnaise, soy sauce, Chinese hot mustard, sesame oil, scallions, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and a pinch pepper in a large bowl. Set aside.
- Dust a piece of parchment paper lightly with flour. Stretch or roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch round on the parchment, then transfer the dough on the parchment to a pizza peel or another inverted rimmed baking sheet. Spread with the crab mixture. Whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl. Brush the crust with the egg wash and sprinkle with the sesame seeds.
- Slide the pizza on the parchment onto the pizza stone or baking sheet and bake until the crust is golden, 12 to 15 minutes.
- Drizzle the pizza with duck sauce and top with the chow mein noodles and more sliced scallions. Serve with more Chinese hot mustard.
