Scallion pancakes, a beloved street food snack, are crispy, flaky, and bursting with savory aroma. Here’s a simple yet authentic recipe to recreate them at home.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup warm water
- 1 tsp salt
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil
- ½ cup chopped scallions (green parts only)
- Extra oil for cooking
Steps:
1. Make the dough: In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Gradually add warm water, kneading into a smooth dough (about 5 minutes). Let it rest for 30 minutes, covered with a damp cloth.
2. Prepare the filling: Roll the dough into a thin rectangle, brush with 1 tbsp oil, and sprinkle scallions evenly. Roll it up tightly like a log, then coil it into a spiral. Flatten gently into a thick circle.
3. Cook the pancake: Heat 2 tbsp oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Place the pancake in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Flip, add another 1 tbsp oil, and cook the other side for 2-3 minutes until crispy.
4. Serve: Press the pancake with a spatula while cooking to create flaky layers. Cut into wedges and enjoy hot with soy sauce or chili dip.
Tips: For extra crispiness, pan-fry at low heat after initial browning. Adjust scallion quantity to taste—more means a stronger aroma! This versatile snack pairs perfectly with tea or as a side dish. Happy cooking!
