• Sprinkle the surface of the dough with green onions.
• Roll the pancake into a sausage shape, trapping all the green onions inside the dough.
• Roll the dough again along the length of the sausage to make a coil shape.
• With the coil still standing up on your counter top flatten it with the palm of your hand (if you flatten it with the coil lying flat on your counter, the onion cake will open up while cooking).
• Roll the dough into a circle about 5 inches in diameter and place to the side while you make the rest of the cakes.
• Heat up the oil in a frying pan or skillet at a medium heat and fry each cake, one side at a time, until it is light brown.
• Cut into quarters and serve with chili garlic dipping sauce.

CHINESE GREEN ONION CAKES

Steps:

• Combine salt and flour in a mixing bowl. Mix together honey and hot water in a separate bowl. Slowly add water/honey mixture into the flour while stirring. Knead the dough until smooth, adding a little water or a little flour as needed to achieve a smooth consistency. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for an hour. Remove dough and roll out flat, brush slightly with melted butter and sprinkle with chopped green onion. Fold over and knead mixture to incorporate the onion bits. Divide in two, roll into a 1/2 inch diameter cylinder and divide into 10 parts. Flatten and coil up each segment into a pancake about 5 inches in diameter, ensuring the edges adhere so the cakes don't come apart when frying. Heat up the oil in a skillet at a medium heat and fry each cake, one side at a time, until it is light brown. Serve warm with Chinese chili garlic dipping sauce and soya sauce.
