Dough

Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Dough

    In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add boiling water while stirring with chopsticks or a fork until a shaggy dough forms. Allow it to cool for a few minutes.

  2. 2

    Knead the Dough

    Once the dough is cool enough to handle, knead it on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Filling Preparation

  1. 3

    Prepare the Filling

    In a small bowl, mix the finely chopped scallions, sesame oil, and salt until well combined. Set aside.

Pancake Assembly and Cooking

  1. 4

    Roll Out the Dough

    Divide the rested dough into four equal pieces. Roll one piece into a thin circle (about 8 inches in diameter) on a floured surface.

  2. 5

    Add Filling

    Spread a portion of the scallion filling evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

  3. 6

    Form the Pancake

    Starting from one edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Then coil the log into a round shape and flatten it gently with your palm. Roll it out again to about 6 inches in diameter.

  4. 7

    Cook the Pancake

    Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the pancake in the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.

  5. 8

    Serve

    Cut the pancakes into wedges and serve hot with soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
