Chinese Scallion Pancakes

I love pancakes and I always look for new recipes.


This one I have found on YT, Mikey Chan made it, and it peaked my curiosity. It sounded pretty simple to prepare and so I went for it. The ingredients were all in stock so the work began.

It is a very simple dish that can be adjusted to everybody´s taste. Stay in the Chinese corner and prepare it like I did, or add some bacon or sausage, some cheese or other ingredients and make a more western dish out of it.

You wont need a lot of stuff and just one bowl to prepare the dough, a rolling pin and one pan to bake.

recipe for 3 medium pancakes:
1 cup all purpose flour and more for the work surface
1/2 cup hot but not boiling water
cling film

vegetable oil
sea salt
3 spring onions

dip sauce:
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp black Chinese vinegar
1 tsp Tahini
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp hot sauce
some toasted sesame seeds

Make the dough first and let it rest for 30 minutes in cling film.
Roll it into a sausage and divide it into 3 parts.
Roll one part out into a circle shape and brush oil all over it. Sprinkle with sea salt. Add the finely diced spring onions and start to roll into a sausage. Then roll the sausage like a cinnamon bun and place the end under it.

Take the rolling pin and roll out again.
Heat up some oil in a pan and fry for 2-3 min on each side.

Eat with the dipping sauce.
