Detailed steps for making traditional Chinese scallion pancakes at home.
Ingredients
Cooking Instructions
step 1
Prepare a large mixing bowl. Mix Salt (1/2 tsp) with All-Purpose Flour (2 cups).
step 2
Dig a small hole in center and then pour the Water (1/2 cup) in.
step 3
Wait for 10 minutes and then stir in the cold Water (1/3 cup) and Vegetable Oil (1 Tbsp).
step 4
Grasp everything to form a ball, cover and rest for 5 minutes and then knead until very smooth (around 3-5 minutes ). The dough should be quite soft.
step 5
Cover the rest for 20 to 30 minutes.
step 6
While the dough rests, thinly slice the green part of the Scallions (2 cups).
step 7
After resting, the dough should be quite easy to roll out. Divide the large dough into 4 pieces and roll each piece into a large around circle.
step 8
Brush some oil, sprinkle Chinese Five Spice Powder (1 tsp), and chopped scallion (leave the 1 cm of the edge empty).
step 9
Roll up the circle into a cylinder. And further roll into the shape of a snail.
step 10
Roll out the snail into a thin circle.
step 11
Brush some Cooking Oil (1 Tbsp) on the pan and move the pancake into the pan. On medium heat, pan-fry until the surface becomes brown around 2-3 minutes. And turn over to fry for another 1 to 2 minutes. Use a spatula to press the circle from time and time especially the central part to ensure the circle is evenly fried.
step 12
Remove the circle out and cut into wedges.
