- 1/2 cup boiling water
- 1/2 cup cold water

Cooking Tips:
- Use boiling water to make the dough, as it helps to create a chewy texture.
- Knead the dough until it's smooth and elastic, which will help to create a thin and crispy pancake.

2. Add the cold water and continue to stir until the dough is smooth and elastic. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
3. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and roll each piece into a thin circle.
4. Brush each circle with vegetable oil and sprinkle with chopped green onions.
5. Roll up each circle into a tight spiral and then flatten it with your hand.
