Chinese Scallion Pancakes: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe You Must Try


  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 cup boiling water
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 4-6 scallions (green onions), finely chopped
– 2-3 tablespoons vegetable oil (for frying)
– Extra salt (to taste)


Instructions

Follow these simple steps to make your own Chinese Scallion Pancakes:

1. Make the Dough: In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Gradually add the boiling water while stirring until a shaggy dough forms. Let it cool for a few minutes before kneading.

2. Knead the Dough: On a floured surface, knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes.

3. Prepare the Scallions: While the dough rests, finely chop the scallions and set them aside.

4. Roll Out the Dough: Divide the rested dough into four equal portions. Take one portion and roll it out into a thin circle (about 8-10 inches in diameter).

5. Add Scallions: Brush a thin layer of oil over the rolled-out dough, and sprinkle a portion of chopped scallions and a pinch of salt evenly over the top.

6. Shape the Pancake: Starting from one edge, roll the dough into a log shape. Coil the log into a spiral and tuck the end under. Gently flatten it with your palm.

7. Roll Again: Roll the spiral back out into a circle, maintaining about the same size (about 8-10 inches).

8. Heat the Pan: In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

9. Fry the Pancake: Once the oil is hot, carefully place the rolled pancake into the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Add more oil if necessary.

10. Repeat: Remove the cooked pancake from the skillet and place it on a paper towel to absorb excess oil. Continue with the remaining portions.

11. Serve Immediately: Cut each pancake into wedges and serve hot.

By following these easy steps, you will be rewarded with crispy and flavorful Chinese Scallion Pancakes that are sure to impress anyone!
