Green Onion Pancakes
(Scallion Pancakes)
Ingredients (6 pancakes)
- 1 1/2 cups (200 grams) all purpose flour, plus additional for dusting the board
- 1/2 cup (113 gram) boiling water
- 2 tbsp. (30cc) cold water
- 4~6 green onions=scallions ( white and green parts). thinly sliced ( about 1 cup=225cc)
- 1 tbsp. (15cc) vegetable shortening or toasted sesame oil
- salt
- 2 to 4 tablespoons salad oil
Instruction
- Sift 1 1/2 cups (200 grams) all purpose flour into a large bowl. Stir in 1/2 cup (113 gram) boiling water until well blended; then add 2 tbsp. (30cc) cold water.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the dough is firm and elastic. Form the dough into a ball, dust it with flour, wrap it with plastic wrap, and let it rest on the surface for 30 minutes.
- Roll the dough into a 7-inch cylinder and divide into 6 pieces.
- Divide the scallions into 6 equal portions. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one piece of dough into a 7 1/2-inch circle.
- Spread 1/2 teaspoon shortening on the dough to within 1/4 inch of the edge. Sprinkle the dough with a scant 1/4 teaspoon salt and one portion of the scallions. Then lightly press the salt and scallions into the dough so that they won't fall of when you fold the dough.
- Fold the dough in thirds, and roll the dough up loosely from one short end like a jelly roll.
- Turn the coil round side up, dust a little flour on it, flatten it slightly with your fingers, and roll it into a 5-inch circle. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling ingredients.
- Heat an iron skillet over medium heat; then add 2 teaspoon oil. When the skillet is hot, put a pancake for 2 or 3 seconds and immediately flip over the pancake and cook the other side until golden brown. (By flipping the side immediately, both sides get some oil on the surface) Brown both sides.
- Serve hot with soy sauce.
had the most creative version of an egg roll + egg crepe + pancake + popiah last wkend at the Singapore Food Fair... Uncle Choo's....
i thought the egg roll reminded me of onion pancakes we eat in Chinese restaurants so i thought i should go find the recipe for it...
but my mum's oredi made me try cooking the salad egg roll we ate that day...
it was a burning success...
i used just eggs, with some sesame seed oil, some fried onion cut into small bits & mixed together for the egg roll... as for the salad filling, we used raw & freshly shredded carrots, meng kuang, & purple cabbage... topped with loads of crushed roasted peanuts, chicken floss, japanese mayonaise & bulldog tonnkatsu sauce... before rolling into an egg roll & slicing it up into bite size... i ate mine without slicing it up... always tastier when u eat with ur hands... ^_^
it's a SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT taste from what we ate...
but it's close cos we didn't use sweet chilli sauce and ketchup... we used bulldog tonnkatsu sauce... n the egg roll skin i didn't use any flour... it's 100% eggs only... ^_^
though my bro didn't think too highly of eating raw vegetables instead of the cooked meng kuang like in normal popiahs...

동방신기,
언제나 비가와도 칠흙같이 캄캄한 어둠이 와도...
그대 곁에서 기다릴께 ...
Nothing better than that...

誰かのために
For someone’s sake
僕らはここで
we are here,
小さな事しかできないけれど
Although we can only achieve small things,
一秒だけでも
Even just for 1 second,
世界上に涙止めて
We still want to stop all the tears in this world,
笑顔になってくれるのなろ
And turn them all into smiles
My music is my life
For you, for your smile...
