Scallion pancakes

Step 1/6

• 300 g flour
• 200 ml water
• 1 pinch salt

• cooking spoon
• large mixing bowl

Combine the flour and water in a large mixing bowl. Work into a smooth dough. Set aside.

Step 2/6

• 6 scallions
• 1 white onion

• cutting board
• knife

Halve the white tops of half of the scallions lengthwise, then roughly chop them; finely chop remaining scallions. Julienne the onion.

Step 3/6

• vegetable oil for frying

• small saucepan

In a small saucepan over medium heat, heat enough oil to cover the roughly chopped scallions and onion, and continue to fry them for approx. 10 min. until golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4/6

• 1 tsp five spice powder
• 1 tsp salt
• flour (for work surface)

• rolling pin

Divide dough in half and flour a work surface. Roll each piece of dough into a long, thin strip and coat with a small spoonful of scallion-infused oil, five spice powder, and salt. Sprinkle remaining chopped scallions on top, reserving some for garnishing.

Step 5/6

• plastic wrap

Tightly roll the dough into a ball from one of the short ends; press down with the palm of your hand. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for approx. 10 – 15 min. Remove plastic wrap and roll into a large, flat pancake, approx. size of the frying pan.
