For a crispier pancake, use a combination of vegetable oil and sesame oil for cooking. These pancakes can be frozen after step 3. Thaw completely before cooking. Feel free to add other seasonings to the scallion mixture, such as ginger, garlic, or chili flakes.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large bowl, combine the flour and 1 teaspoon of salt. Pour in the boiling water and quickly mix until the water is absorbed. Gradually add the cold water, about 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until a dough forms. Knead the dough for 10 minutes. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let the dough rest for 40 minutes. (Total time: 55 minutes)
02
StepTurn the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and divide it into 4 equal pieces.
03
StepRoll one piece of dough into a large, thin round. Brush the top with vegetable oil and sprinkle with about 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 of the minced green onions. Pick up one end of the round and roll the dough around the green onions into a long, scroll shape. Take one scroll end and roll the dough into a disk. Repeat with the remaining dough, letting each disk rest for 10 minutes. (Total time: 25 minutes)
04
StepHeat about 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Place one disk on a floured surface and roll it into a 1/2-inch thick round. Cook in the hot oil until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Repeat with the remaining disks. (Total time: 8-12 minutes)

Oct 27, 2024The resting time for the dough is crucial. Don't skip it! It makes the pancakes so much more tender.
