Scallion And Ginger Pancakes Recipes

SCALLION PANCAKES

Steps:

• Make the dipping sauce: Combine the vinegar, soy sauce, sugar and sesame oil in a small bowl and whisk until the sugar dissolves; set aside.
• Make the scallion pancakes: Put the flour in a large bowl, then add the boiling water and stir with a wooden spoon until the dough forms a ball.
• Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth, elastic and no longer sticky, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer the dough to a large bowl, cover and let rest 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 200˚ F. Divide the dough into 8 pieces, then roll each into a thin 8-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. Brush each circle of dough with 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil and sprinkle with 1 heaping tablespoon scallions; season with 1/8 teaspoon salt. Roll up each circle of dough into a cigar; then, working from one side, roll each into a coil, tucking the ends underneath. Lightly flour the surface again and roll each coil to a 7-inch pancake (1/8 inch thick).
• Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pancake and cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven. Repeat with the remaining pancakes, adding 1 more tablespoon vegetable oil to the skillet each time and reducing the heat to medium if the pancakes are browning too quickly. Slice the pancakes into wedges. Serve with the dipping sauce.

CHINESE SCALLION PANCAKES

Steps:

• Mix flour and 1 teaspoon salt together in a large bowl; pour in boiling water and quickly mix together until water is absorbed. Work cold water, about 1 tablespoon at a time, into flour mixture just until dough forms. Knead dough for 10 minutes. Cover bowl with a damp cloth and let dough rest for 40 minutes.
• Turn dough onto a lightly floured work surface; divide into 4 equal pieces.
• Roll 1 piece of dough into a large thin round; brush the top with vegetable oil and sprinkle with about 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 the green onions. Pick up 1 end of the round and roll dough around green onions into a long scroll-shape. Take 1 scroll end and roll dough into a disk. Repeat with remaining dough, letting each disk rest for 10 minutes.
• Heat about 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Place 1 disk on a floured surface and roll into a 1/2-inch thick round; cook in the hot oil until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining disks.

• On a floured surface, roll out dough into a thin rectangle. Brush on oil mixture, cover with scallion and season with salt and pepper. Carefully roll dough like a sponge cake. Cut into 4 pieces. Take one piece and twist 3 times. Make a spiral out of this and roll again and flatten to achieve a 5 to 6 inch pancake.

SCALLION PANCAKES

Steps:

• Pour the flour into a mixing bowl and slowly add the hot water, mixing it into the flour. Knead the mixture and add slight amounts of flour or water as needed to get a soft dough ball that can hold its shape well. Wrap with plastic wrap and allow to sit for 30 minutes at room temperature.
• Mix scallions with salt and Chinese 5-spice powder to taste in a small mixing bowl. Heat 1/4 cup vegetable oil in a small pan until just shy of smoking, then drizzle over scallion mixture. Mix well in the bowl to cook the scallions in the hot oil.
• Cut the dough ball into 4 even portions. Roll each of the dough portions into a flat round about 8 inches in diameter. Spread an even layer of the scallion mixture over the flattened dough rounds (using about half), then roll each round up with the filling on the inside. Twist each length of dough into a circle like a cinnamon bun, then roll flat again into an 8-inch round. Spread the remaining scallion mixture across the rounds, then repeat the roll, twist and flattening process again to create 8-inch rounds with the scallion mixture distributed throughout the dough.
• Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil to a pan or skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Add a pancake to the skillet and cook on each side until lightly browned and crispy, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Move to a paper towel covered plate or rack, then sprinkle with sesame seeds, and serve! Repeat with the remaining pancakes.
