Taiwanese Scallion Pancake
A popular Taiwanese street food, this savory pancake is made from layers of dough, scallions, and oil, pan-fried until golden brown and crispy on the outside, yet tender and chewy on the inside. It's often served with a simple dipping sauce.
🧂 सामग्री
- 500 g All-purpose flour(plus more for dusting)
- 250 ml Boiling water
- 125 ml Cold water
- 1 tsp Salt
- 150 g Scallions (green onions)(finely sliced)
- 150 ml Vegetable oil(for frying and for the scallion paste)
- 2 large Egg whites(lightly beaten, for the scallion paste)
- 1 tbsp Black sesame seeds(optional)
👨🍳 निर्देश
- 1
In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Pour the boiling water over the flour and mix with a fork until it starts to come together. Be careful as it will be hot.
💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: Using boiling water helps to gelatinize the flour, creating a more tender dough. - 2
Add the cold water and lightly beaten egg yolks to the flour mixture. Mix until a shaggy dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.

While the dough rests, prepare the scallion paste. In a heatproof bowl, combine the finely sliced scallions, beaten egg whites, and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Mix well. If using, stir in the black sesame seeds.
💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: The egg white helps to bind the scallions and oil, creating a paste that distributes evenly. - 4
Divide the rested dough into 4 equal portions. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one portion of dough into a thin rectangle, about 10x12 inches. Spread about 1-2 tablespoons of the scallion paste evenly over the surface, leaving a small border around the edges.

Starting from one of the long sides, tightly roll up the dough into a long log. Gently flatten the log with your palm, then roll it up from one end into a spiral shape, tucking the end underneath. Repeat with the remaining dough portions.

Let the rolled spirals rest for about 10 minutes, covered with plastic wrap. Then, flatten each spiral gently with your palm or a rolling pin into a pancake about 6-7 inches in diameter. Be careful not to press too hard, which can break the layers.

Heat about 2-3 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully place a pancake into the hot oil. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy. You may need to adjust the heat to prevent burning.
💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: A generous amount of oil and medium-high heat are key for achieving a crispy exterior. - 8
Drain the cooked pancakes on paper towels. Slice into wedges and serve immediately.
💡 पेशेवर सुझाव
- ✓For extra flaky layers, ensure the dough is well-rested.
- ✓Don't overwork the dough after adding the scallion paste, as this can make the pancakes tough.
- ✓Adjust the amount of scallions to your preference.
