Scallion oil pancakes, a beloved Chinese street snack, are crispy, flaky, and bursting with savory flavor. Here’s a detailed recipe to recreate them at home.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup warm water
- ½ tsp salt
- 3 tbsp cooking oil
- 4-5 chopped scallions
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 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 scallion filling: Combine chopped scallions, cooking oil, and sesame oil.
3. Shape the pancake: Roll the dough into a thin rectangle, spread the scallion mixture evenly, then roll it into a log. Coil the log into a spiral, flatten gently, and roll into a 0.5 cm-thick circle.
4. Cook: Heat a pan over medium-low heat, add 1 tbsp 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, brush the dough with oil before adding scallions. Serve hot with soy-vinegar dip or enjoy plain. These pancakes are best eaten fresh but can be reheated in a toaster for crispiness. Enjoy this homemade delight that’s sure to impress!
