a good scallion pancake should have a
bit of shine
and it should be flaky
[Music]
let's get straight into it here are the
ingredients you need for the dough
now that you have all the ingredients
gathered together it's time to combine
them
first weigh the flour out
and then add a spoon of salt to the
flour
[Music]
oh no
[Laughter]
you guys
[Laughter]
okay let's try that again add a
spoon of salt to the flour
then pour in the water
stir it together
[Music]
and add a bit of oil
or have mom do it
mix everything together again
and let it rest for about 5 minutes
then it's time to knead it massage and
divide the dough into pieces
and then rub some oil on it
then we're going to wrap it up with
plastic and let it rest for about an
hour the scallions
and season it with salt flour
and your favorite spices the flour is
important
it keeps the pancake layers from
sticking together
heat up a generous amount of oil
and add it to the mix
okay now we're going to go back to the
dough
let's test its elasticity it needs to
have some of that stretchiness so that
the final product isn't stiff
now we're going to flatten it take a
rolling pin and flatten it a little bit
more
see the dough is easier to roll now
then we're going to spread some of that
scallion oil all around
[Music]
and roll it up finally
[Music]
then we're going to roll it up again
until it basically looks like a snail
shell
[Music]
amazing these swirls are what creates
the layers
[Music]
now we're going to flatten them out
again
[Music]
and finally we're going to heat up a
generous amount of oil and fry it in a
pan
[Music]
and that's it if you want you can add an
egg on top
and drizzle the whole thing with some
sweet and sour sauce or mayo
then sit back relax and enjoy
[Music]
