Green onion pancake

Green onion pancake is a kind of pancake made of green onion and white flour.

Materials: flour 300g, hot boiled water 180ML, green onion (usually available in vegetable market, however, if you don't find it, onion could be an alternative option)










Ingredients: salt, cooking oil

Process:

1. Put the flour into a basin, slowly pour the hot water into the flour, meanwhile stir the flour using some tool (for not scalding the hand) till the flour becomes soft like cotton


2. Wait for a bit while till the dough isn't too hot for the hand, knead the flour repeatedly until it becomes a soft dough, put it into some vessel, cover it and wait for 30 minutes          


3. While waiting for the dough to mix by itself, cut the green onion into minced size

4. Separate the dough into small round dough, which could be the size like fist


5. Roll the round dough into big thin flat sheet through a rolling poll, drop little bit oil onto the sheet, use a brush or finger to brush the oil onto the whole sheet, and scatter some salt onto the sheet as well

6. Scatter the minced green onion onto the oil, quantity is according to yourself, if lots of onion is added, it might would break the dough but might would make the pancake taste better

7. Roll the sheet into long roll, expand little bit to the two edges

8. Turn the roll into a round as shown in the pic, wait for 10 minutes for the flour and onion to mix with each other

9. Press the round green onion dough and roll it into sheet again through a rolling pole

10. Put a pan on fire, pour little bit oil inside, put the pancake sheet into the pan, cover it and heat with small fire

11. Check the pancake after one minute, if the surface becomes yellow then turn it upside down to heat the other side, till it becomes yellow as well, and there would be smell coming out, the pancake is now ready for eat

Note: Dough made with hot water would make the pancake soft, and if you like to eat tough and chewy one, you could use cool water to make the dough.
          If you want more taste of the green onion, you could fry it first in oil then scatter it onto the dough, and you can even put some white pepper etc.
     It's better to cover the pan while frying, the steam inside would make the pancake even softer.

Enjoy your food!
