Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup boiling water
- 1/2 cup green onions, finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Mix the dough: In a mixing bowl, add the flour and gradually pour in the boiling water while stirring with a fork or chopsticks until a dough forms. Allow it to rest for about 30 minutes.
- Divide the dough: After resting, divide the dough into 4 equal pieces and roll each into thin circles, about 8 inches in diameter.
- Brush the surface of each circle with oil, sprinkle generously with chopped green onions and salt.
- Roll the dough into a log, then coil it into a spiral. Flatten the coiled dough gently to create layers.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and fry each pancake for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve hot with soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
Serve with sesame seeds or chili oil for extra flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
