Golden Crispy Chinese Scallion Pancakes: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Luna
  • Total Time: 20 minute

Ingredients

– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 cup boiling water
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 cup vegetable oil (for frying)
– 1/2 cup scallions (green onions), finely chopped
– Additional salt to taste


Instructions

Creating Golden Crispy Chinese Scallion Pancakes is straightforward. Follow these steps to achieve delicious results:

1. Mix Flour and Water: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Gradually add the boiling water, stirring with chopsticks or a fork until the dough starts to come together.
2. Knead the Dough: Once the mixture is cool enough to handle, knead it on a lightly floured surface for about 5-10 minutes until smooth. Cover it with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes.
3. Prepare the Filling: While the dough is resting, chop the scallions finely and set them aside.
4. Divide the Dough: After resting, divide the dough into four equal portions.
5. Roll Out the Dough: Take one portion and roll it out into a thin circle (about 8 inches in diameter) on a floured surface.
6. Spread Oil and Add Scallions: Brush a thin layer of vegetable oil over the surface of the rolled-out dough. Sprinkle a portion of the chopped scallions evenly on top.
7. Roll and Coil: Starting from one end, roll the dough tightly into a log. Then, coil the log into a spiral shape and tuck the end underneath.
8. Flatten the Coil: Gently flatten the coiled dough with your palm. Then, using a rolling pin, roll it out into a circle about 1/4 inch thick.
9. Heat Oil for Frying: In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Ensure the oil is hot but not smoking.
10. Fry the Pancakes: Place the pancake in the skillet and fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Repeat for remaining portions of dough.
11. Drain Excess Oil: Once cooked, remove the pancakes from the skillet and place them on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
12. Slice and Serve: Cut the pancakes into wedges or strips for easy serving.

By following these simple steps, you’ll have a batch of Golden Crispy Chinese Scallion Pancakes ready to impress!
