2. Prepare the Filling

  1. Mix the chopped scallions with salt in a small bowl.
  2. Heat the vegetable oil until warm (not smoking) and pour it over the scallions. This enhances their aroma. Set aside.

3. Shape the Pancakes

  1. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions.
  2. Roll one portion into a thin rectangle (about 10×6 inches or as thin as possible).
  3. Spread a thin layer of the scallion mixture over the surface.
  4. Roll the dough tightly into a log, starting from the longer edge.
  5. Coil the log into a snail shape and tuck the end underneath. Flatten gently.
  6. Roll the coiled dough into a thin pancake (about 6-8 inches in diameter). Repeat with the remaining portions.

4. Cook the Pancakes

  1. Heat a non-stick pan or skillet over medium heat and add about 1-2 tablespoons of oil.
  2. Place a pancake in the pan and fry for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  3. Adjust the heat to prevent burning and ensure even cooking. Add more oil if needed for subsequent pancakes.
  4. Repeat with the remaining pancakes.

5. Prepare the Dipping Sauce (Optional)

  1. Combine all the sauce ingredients in a small bowl and mix well.
  2. Serve alongside the pancakes.

Serving

  • Serve the scallion pancakes hot with the dipping sauce on the side.
  • They can also be enjoyed as is, without any accompaniment.

Tips for Success

  1. Resting the Dough: Resting ensures the dough becomes more pliable and easier to roll.
  2. Layering: For flakier pancakes, roll the dough thinner and ensure even distribution of the scallion mixture.
  3. Oil Temperature: Use medium heat to cook pancakes to avoid burning while ensuring crispiness.

Enjoy your crispy and flavorful Scallion Pancakes! 🌿
