  • Prep Time: 20 minutes
  • Additional Time: 30 minutes
  • Cook Time: 15 minutes
  • Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4
  • Category: Appetizers

Ingredients

Scale
  • Pancakes:
    • 2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 cup boiling water
    • 1/3 cup vegetable oil, divided
    • 2 Tablespoons sesame oil
    • 1 cup thinly sliced scallions (about 4 whole scallions)
    • Kosher salt
  • Dipping Sauce:
    • 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
    • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
    • 1 scallion, thinly sliced
    • Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine the flour and water in a large bowl. Stir to form a mass of dough.
  2. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead until the dough forms a smooth, slightly tacky ball.
  3. Put dough ball in a lightly oiled medium-size mixing bowl and cover with a tea towel or plastic wrap. Let the dough rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or up to overnight in the fridge.
  4. Mix 2 tablespoons each of vegetable oil and sesame oil in a small bowl.
  5. To make the dipping sauce: Combine vinegar, soy sauce, scallion, and pepper flakes (if desired).
  6. When the dough is ready, separate it into 4 equal-size balls. Put 3 of the balls back into the bowl.
  7. With the first ball, roll it out into an 8-inch disk. Brush it with a thin layer of the oil mixture.
  8. Roll the disk up tightly, then roll it into a tight spiral (like a cinnamon roll) and tuck in the end.
  9. With the palm of your hand, flatten out the spiral, then roll the dough out to an 8-inch disk again. Brush it with a thin layer of the oil mixture and scatter some of the scallions across the disk.
  10. Roll the disk tightly, then roll it into a spiral again.
  11. Flatten spiral, roll out to an 8-inch disk; set aside.
  12. Repeat this process with the remaining dough balls.
  13. Put about a quarter of your oil into an 8-inch skillet on high heat.
  14. When the oil begins to shimmer, add your first pancake.
  15. Let it cook, undisturbed, for 2 to 3 minutes.
  16. Flip pancake and cook until underside is golden, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  17. Place on a paper-towel lined plate and season with salt while the pancake is still hot.
  18. Repeat process with remaining pancakes.
  19. Cut the pancakes into wedges and serve with dipping sauce.
