Asian-Style Scallion Pancakes image

Yummy Asian pancakes and a delicious dipping sauce of sesame oil, sugar and soy sauce. My mother used to make these for me when I was a little girl. I recently found this recipe in the October 2009 Food Network Magazine. Prep time includes chill time.

Time 3h24m

Yield 6 pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 -2 tablespoon vegetable shortening, at room temperature
5 scallions, finely chopped
vegetable oil, for frying
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons soy sauce
sliced scallion

Steps:

  • Sift the flour and 3/4 teaspoon salt into a large bowl. Stir in 1/2 cup hot water until blended. If the dough is dry, add up to 2 more tablespoons water. Knead on a lightly floured surface until elastic yet firm, about 5 minutes. Cover with a damp cloth and set aside for 30 minutes.
  • Divide the dough into 6 pieces and keep covered. One at a time, roll each piece into a 4-inch-long log, then stretch into a 14-inch-long rope. Brush with shortening and sprinkle with about 1 tablespoon scallion. Coil the dough into a circle, cover and set aside. Repeat with remaining dough.
  • Flatten the coils with your hand on a floured surface, then roll with a floured rolling pin into a thin circle. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pancake and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towls and repeat with remaining pancakes, adding more oil as needed. Cut into wedges to serve.
  • Mix all ingredients for dipping sauce and serve with pancakes.

I'm not a big fan of scallions, but I really enjoyed these pancakes. The scallions were cooked perfectly and they didn't overpower the other flavors.

These pancakes were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I would try using less oil next time.

These pancakes are a great way to use up leftover rice. I always have leftover rice in my fridge and I'm always looking for new ways to use it.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pancakes turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked them.
