Scallion pancakes, a beloved Chinese street food, are crispy, flaky, and bursting with savory aroma. Here’s a simple recipe to recreate this dish at home.
Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup warm water, 1 tsp salt, 2 tbsp cooking oil, 4-5 chopped scallions, and extra oil for frying.
Steps:
1. Make the dough: Mix flour and salt, gradually add warm water, and knead into a smooth dough. Let it rest for 30 minutes.
2. Prepare the filling: Chop scallions finely.
3. Shape the pancake: Roll the dough into a thin rectangle, brush with oil, sprinkle scallions, and roll it into a log. Coil the log into a spiral, then flatten it into a thick circle.
4. Cook the pancake: Heat a pan over medium-low heat, add oil, and fry the pancake for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Press gently with a spatula to ensure even cooking.
Tips: For extra flakiness, repeat the rolling and coiling process twice. Serve hot with soy-vinegar dipping sauce. Enjoy this crispy, flavorful treat that’s perfect as a snack or side dish!
