About Taiwanese green onion pancakes

Taiwanese Green Onion Pancakes, or "Cong You Bing," are a savory flatbread originating from Taiwanese and broader Chinese cuisine. Made from a simple dough of flour, water, and salt, they are layered with chopped green onions and folded to create a flaky texture. The pancakes are pan-fried until golden and crispy, resulting in a perfect combination of crunch and chewiness. While green onions provide vitamins A and C, along with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory benefits, this dish is primarily carbohydrate-heavy due to its flour base. Typically fried in oil, it can be high in fat and calories depending on the cooking method. However, moderation and preparation adjustments, such as using less oil or whole-grain flour, can make it a lighter snack. Taiwanese Green Onion Pancakes are cherished for their rich, savory flavor and versatility as street food or a side dish.
