Ingredients
- 300 g All-purpose flour
- 180 ml Hot water
- 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 100 g Scallions (finely chopped)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tbsp Sesame oil
- 100 ml Neutral oil (for frying)
- 20 g All-purpose flour (for dusting)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour with the hot water gradually, stirring with chopsticks or a fork until the mixture forms a rough dough.
Step 2
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover it with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Step 3
Divide the dough into four equal portions. Roll one portion into a thin oval or rectangular sheet, approximately 2 mm thick.
Step 4
Brush the surface of the rolled dough sheet with sesame oil and sprinkle evenly with a pinch of salt and a generous amount of chopped scallions.
Step 5
Roll the sheet tightly into a log from one end, then coil the log into a spiral shape. Tuck the end underneath the coil to secure it.
Step 6
Gently flatten the spiral with your palm, then use a rolling pin to roll it out into a pancake approximately 1/4 inch thick. Repeat with the remaining dough portions.
Step 7
Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add enough neutral oil to thinly coat the bottom.
Step 8
Place one pancake in the skillet and fry for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy, pressing lightly on the pancake with a spatula to ensure even cooking.
Step 9
Remove the pancake from the skillet and drain it on a paper towel. Repeat the frying process with the remaining pancakes.
Step 10
Slice the pancakes into wedges and serve warm as an appetizer, side dish, or snack!
