Cong You Bing Scallion Pancake Recipe By Tasty

CONG YOU BING (CHINESE SCALLION PANCAKES)

Steps:

• Combine flour, water, 1 teaspoon oil, and salt in a large bowl. Knead until well combined. Cover and set aside until dough is soft but not wet and sticky, 10 to 15 minutes. Add more flour if needed.
• Divide dough into 8 pieces. Roll each piece into an 8-inch-long strip about 2 inches thick.
• Sprinkle the dough with green onions and sesame oil. Roll each strip into a spiral, pinching the end to prevent unrolling.
• Flatten each spiral with a rolling pin to create a disk-shaped pancake about 5 inches wide.
• Heat 1/2 tablespoon oil in a pan over medium-low heat. Fry each scallion pancake until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side.

Steps:

• Mix flour and salt in a large bowl. Slowly pour the boiled water into the flour and mix them with a chopstick until the flour becomes cotton batt shape.
• Cool it for a while. And then, knead it until the surface becomes smooth, or you can pop it into your bread machine to knead for 10 minutes.
• Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and place it at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Transfer the dough to the working surface and evenly divide the dough into 5 portions.
• Take a small dough and roll it with a rolling pin. (The rest should be covered with plastic wrap to prevent moisture loss.) Then, brush a layer of oil on the dough cake and sprinkle with chopped green onion.
• As shown in the figure, the dough cake is rolled up from both sides, and then the two sides are put together into strip shape.
• Grab the ends and pull the dough to make it thinner. Then roll up from the two ends to the middle.
• Press the rolled dough together, and then cover with plastic wrap and let stand for 10 minutes.
• Roll the dough into a cake with a rolling pin (be careful not to be too thin)
• Heat the oil in a cold pan and fry the dough cake under medium heat for a while. Turn the onion cake over and continue frying it until both sides become golden.
