Scallion pancakes, a beloved Chinese street food, are crispy, flaky, and bursting with savory flavor. Here’s a simple recipe to recreate them at home.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup warm water, ½ tsp salt, 2 tbsp cooking oil, ½ cup chopped scallions, 1 tbsp sesame oil, ½ tsp white pepper (optional).
Steps:
1. Make the dough: Mix flour, salt, and warm water until a shaggy dough forms. Knead for 5 minutes, then let it rest, covered, for 30 minutes.
2. Prepare the filling: Combine chopped scallions, sesame oil, and white pepper in a small bowl.
3. Shape the pancake: Roll the dough into a log, divide into 4 equal portions. Flatten each portion into a circle, brush with oil, and sprinkle with scallion mixture. Roll it up like a Swiss roll, coil it, and press into a flat disk.
4. Cook: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tbsp oil, cook the pancake for 3-4 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Press gently with a spatula to ensure even cooking.
Serve hot with soy-vinegar dipping sauce. Enjoy these addictive pancakes as a snack or side dish!
