Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup boiling water
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 4-5 scallions (green onions), finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil (such as canola or peanut oil)

Instructions:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Slowly add the boiling water while stirring with a fork or chopsticks. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover with a damp towel and let it rest for at least 15 minutes.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the finely chopped scallions and sesame oil. Add salt to taste. Set aside.
  3. Divide the rested dough into 4 equal pieces. On a lightly floured surface, roll each piece into a thin rectangle (about 1/8 inch thick).
  4. Brush a thin layer of sesame oil over the surface of each rectangle, then sprinkle an even layer of scallion mixture. Roll the rectangle tightly like a jelly roll and pinch the ends to seal. Coil the rolled dough into a round shape and flatten gently.
  5. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place one pancake in the skillet and flatten slightly. Cook for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Flip and add remaining oil as needed. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until both sides are golden.
  6. Remove the pancakes from the skillet and drain them on paper towels. Cut into wedges and serve immediately with soy sauce or a homemade dipping sauce.
