Ingredients
- 1 ½ C all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon sea salt + extra for garnish
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ C hot boiling water
- ⅓ C room-temperature water (you may not need all of the water)
- 2 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 C green onions (appx 8 stalks, or 1 bunch) chopped
- 3-4 tablespoon avocado oil (or any high-smoke point oil) for pan-frying
For serving:
- Chili garlic sauce
OR
- Chili oil
Instructions
- Combine the flour, salt, baking powder and hot water together in a large bowl. Mix with a pair of wooden chopsticks.
- Gradually add in the room temperature water until a dough is formed. (You may or may not need all of the water).
- Knead the dough for a few minutes until it becomes slightly smooth. Cover with a cloth or plastic wrap and leave for 15 minutes.
- Divide the rested dough into 3 or 4 equal pieces (depending on how large you want them). Roll each portion into a long rectangle about 2" in width and 8" in length.
- Brush on ¼ tablespoon of sesame oil on the dough and sprinkle the green onions on. (Sprinkle with additional flaked sea salt if you wish).
- Fold the dough in half lengthwise to close.
- Roll out the dough width-wise until it's about 2" again. Brush with sesame oil.
- Fold the dough over in half lengthwise to close and tuck in the 2 ends together to seal.
- Heat a griddle or pan over medium-high heat. Add about 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan.
- Place the green onion pancake onto the griddle/pan and cook until crisp, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Sprinkle on additional flaked sea salt, cut into quarters and serve immediately.
- Serve with chili garlic sauce or chili oil.
