👨‍🍳 作り方

1. 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.

   💡 プロのコツ: Using boiling water helps to gelatinize the flour, creating a more tender dough.
2. 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.

3. 3

   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.

   💡 プロのコツ: The egg white helps to bind the scallions and oil, creating a paste that distributes evenly.
4. 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.

5. 5

   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.

6. 6

   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.

7. 7

   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.

   💡 プロのコツ: A generous amount of oil and medium-high heat are key for achieving a crispy exterior.
8. 8

   Drain the cooked pancakes on paper towels. Slice into wedges and serve immediately.
