Chinese Street-style Scallion Pancakes
Chinese Street-style Scallion Pancakes are a popular and delicious snack that can be found on the streets of China. These savory pancakes are made with a simple dough and filled with scallions, creating a crispy and flavorful treat that is perfect for any time of day.
To make Chinese Street-style Scallion Pancakes, you will need the following ingredients per serving:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup boiling water
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup chopped scallions
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
To begin, mix the flour and salt in a bowl. Slowly add the boiling water, stirring until a dough forms. Knead the dough for a few minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Cover the dough and let it rest for 30 minutes.
After the dough has rested, divide it into four equal pieces. Roll each piece into a thin circle, about 1/8 inch thick. Brush each circle with vegetable oil and sprinkle with chopped scallions. Roll up the circle tightly, like a jelly roll, and then coil it into a spiral. Flatten the spiral with your hand and then roll it out again into a thin circle.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add a pancake to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the remaining pancakes.
Chinese Street-style Scallion Pancakes are best served hot and crispy, with a dipping sauce made from soy sauce, rice vinegar, and chili oil. These pancakes are a perfect appetizer or snack, and are sure to impress your guests with their crispy texture and savory flavor.
