Ingredients

  • 1 ½ C all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ C +2 tablespoon warm water
  • 1 ½ C green onions chopped
  • 4 salted egg yolks mashed
  • 2 tablespoon sesame oil
For frying:
  • 2-3 tablespoon peanut oil or any high smoke-point oil

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large mixing bowl, add in the flour and baking powder. Mix together.
  2. Make a well with the flour mixture and add in the warm water slowly. Use a pair of chopsticks to stir together until it forms into a rough dough.
  3. Add a little more water as needed and use your hands to knead until the dough is smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside to rest for 20 minutes.
  4. Place the salted egg yolks onto a wooden chopping board. Using the back of a cleaver knife, press down firmly on the egg yolk to smash/smush it. Scrape it into a clean bowl.
  5. To the salted egg yolk, add in 2 tablespoon of sesame oil and use a fork to continue mashing the mixture until it forms a thick but smooth paste.
  6. Divide the dough into 4 even portions. Roll the dough onto a lightly floured surface to about ⅛" inch thickness.
  7. Scoop about ¼ of the salted egg yolk paste and smear it all over the dough. Sprinkle with green onions and roll it up tightly into a log. Then take the log and coil it up like a snail, tucking in the ends.
  8. Now carefully press down with your palm to flatten into a disc. Use a rolling pin to roll it gently. Set aside onto a parchment lined baking tray to rest. Repeat with the remaining.
  9. When finished with the dough, go back to the first pancake and use a rolling pin to flatten the disc a little more, to about a diameter of 5-6".
  10. Heat up a frying pan over medium high heat. Add 1 T of peanut oil.
  11. Place the green onion pancake into the hot pan and fry until crispy and golden brown on both sides, about 4-5 minutes. Remove to a plate lined with paper towel and sprinkle with additional sea salt.
  12. Serve immediately with chili oil or hot sauce.
