Ingredients
  

Scallion pancakes:

  • 2 cups of flour
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 cup of warm water
  • 3/4 cup of sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon of garlic salt
  • 3 scallion stalks thinly sliced

Dipping sauce:

  • Pinch of chilli flakes
  • 2 tablespoons of rice wine vinegar
  • 3 table spoons of soya sauce
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 teaspoon of sesame oil
  • Pinch of thinly sliced scallions

Instructions
 

  • Mix the flour, salt, and slowly mix in portions of the water to form the dough. Knead the dough until smooth. Once smooth, form the dough into a ball and brush a coat of sesame oil onto the dough ball.
  • Let the dough rest in a bowl in a fridge and cover the bowl for 20 minutes.
  • After 20 minutes, section the dough into 4 mini dough ball portions.
  • Roll each dough ball out to a circle.
  • Place a thin layer of oil onto the dough and sprinkle garlic salt and scallions on top over the dough.
  • Roll the dough up into a log.
  • Take one end of the log and roll it inwards to form a spiral. Then flatten on top and roll out the dough to form your pancake.
  • Repeat steps 4 to 7 with remaining dough ball portions.
  • When ready to cook, heat up the cooking oil and pan fry each side for about 3 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  • Cut into portions and serve with the dipping sauce (mix all the ingredients of the dipping sauce together to make the sauce) or any other desired sauce.
