    green onion pancake

    Green onion pancakes are usually served as a breakfast food in China. Its usually eaten on-the-go or with a yummy porridge (jook). This pancake is savory and has many flakey layers. Make sure you eat it warm to get that delicious crunch!

    Ingredients you need for your green onion pancake:

    • all-purpose flour
    • hot water
    • room temperature water
    • green onions, sliced
    • garlic chives, sliced
    • salt
    • sugar

    Oil Mixture:

    • olive oil
    • sesame oil
    • flour

    Steps to make the green onion pancake:

    • Step 1. Combine 2.5 cups flour, ½ cup hot water, and ½ cup of room temperature water in a bowl. Mix ingredients gently and start kneading the dough.
    • Step 2. Knead dough for 10 minutes and rest dough in bowl with damp towel for minimum of 30 minutes to 1 hour.
    • Step 3. Slice the green onions and garlic chives by cutting them in small pieces.
    • Prep the oil mixture. Add ½ cup flour, ½ cup olive oil, and ½ tablespoon sesame oil to saucepan. Heat saucepan to low-medium heat and stir well for 5-8 minutes until smooth and shiny.
    • Step 4. Take out dough and split in four sections. Flour the surface and start rolling out one piece of dough. Keep the rest of the dough under the damp towel.
    • Step 5. Take 1 section of the dough and roll the dough until it is ¼ inch thin. Brush oil mixture on the flatten dough.
    • Step 6. Add ½ teaspoon of salt and ½ teaspoon sugar to the dough. Sprinkle the green onions and chives.
    • Step 7. Roll the dough as tightly as you can in horizontal position (reference video). Then roll the dough in vertical position. It should look like a cinnamon roll. This is how the flakey layers are formed!
    • Step 8. Roll out the cinnamon roll dough again until the pancake is flat.
    • Step 9. Add 1-2 tablespoons of oil to the pan and fry the green onion pancake on medium heat until golden brown. This should take 5-7 minutes on one side. Note: The second side might take less time to fry depending on your stove. Hope you enjoy!
