Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (240g)
  • 1 tsp fine sea salt
  • ¾ cup boiling water (180ml)
  • 2 tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 cup thinly sliced scallions (about 6 stalks)
  • Vegetable oil, for frying

Method
 

  1. Mix flour and ½ tsp salt in a bowl, add boiling water, stir into a shaggy dough, knead 2 minutes, cover, and rest 30 minutes.
  2. Divide dough into 4 pieces. Roll each thin, brush with sesame oil, top with scallions and salt, roll up, coil, and flatten. Rest 5 minutes.
  3. Heat a thin layer of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Roll each coil into a 6-inch circle and fry 2-3 minutes per side until golden and crisp.
  4. Cut into wedges and serve hot with a dipping sauce of soy sauce, vinegar, and chili oil.

Notes

The dough needs a 30-minute rest which is not included in the prep time. You can use that window to slice scallions and mix a dipping sauce. Pancakes are best right out of the pan, but they will stay crisp for about 10 minutes on a rack.
