Scallion pancakes are a popular dish in China, and available from restaurants and street vendors. There are many different regional variations. My version is Shanghai-style and is my grandmother's recipe. These can be frozen after step 3, and thawed and finished cooking when ready to eat.

Time 1h45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon salt, divided
¾ cup boiling water
½ cup cold water, or as needed
vegetable oil, or as needed, divided
1 bunch green onions (scallions), minced

Steps:

  • Mix flour and 1 teaspoon salt together in a large bowl; pour in boiling water and quickly mix together until water is absorbed. Work cold water, about 1 tablespoon at a time, into flour mixture just until dough forms. Knead dough for 10 minutes. Cover bowl with a damp cloth and let dough rest for 40 minutes.
  • Turn dough onto a lightly floured work surface; divide into 4 equal pieces.
  • Roll 1 piece of dough into a large thin round; brush the top with vegetable oil and sprinkle with about 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 the green onions. Pick up 1 end of the round and roll dough around green onions into a long scroll-shape. Take 1 scroll end and roll dough into a disk. Repeat with remaining dough, letting each disk rest for 10 minutes.
  • Heat about 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Place 1 disk on a floured surface and roll into a 1/2-inch thick round; cook in the hot oil until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining disks.

Time 35m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1 clove garlic, grated
¼ cup korean chili paste
6 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
2 ½ teaspoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
2 scallions, white and light green parts, very thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, grated
1 teaspoon sesame seed
1 cup cake flour
¼ teaspoon baking powder
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 cup ice water, plus 2 tablespoons
20 scallions, about 2 bunches, root trimmed
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus 2-4 teaspoons
¼ lb shrimp, peeled, deveined, and halved lengthwise (butterflied)
¼ lb calamari bodies, sliced into ¼-inch rings, rinsed, and patted dry
2 large eggs
1 red chili, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Make the chili dipping sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together rice vinegar, sugar, garlic, and gochujang until smooth. Set aside until ready to use. The sauce will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
  • Make the sesame soy garlic dipping sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and sugar until the sugar dissolves. Add the scallions, garlic, and sesame seeds and whisk until well combined. Set aside until ready to use. The sauce will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
  • Make the pancake batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Stream in the ice water and whisk until the batter is smooth, about 1 minute.
  • Place the scallions in a large nonstick skillet to measure, then remove from the pan and trim so the scallions will lie flat in the bottom of the pan.
  • Add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to the skillet and heat over medium-low heat for 1-2 minutes. Arrange half of the trimmed scallions in a single layer in the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, until softened. Slowly pour about ½ cup batter over the scallions, ensuring that the batter gets between each scallion and to hold everything together.
  • Immediately arrange half of the shrimp and half of the squid over the batter, distributing evenly. Pour another ¼ cup of the batter over the seafood, and let cook for 2-5 minutes, until the batter is starting to set. Carefully slide a spatula under the edge of the pancake and lift up to see if the underside of the pancake is turning golden brown. If it is starting to burn, reduce the heat to low.
  • Add each egg to a small bowl with ¼ teaspoon salt each. Whisk with a fork to combine.
  • When the pancake is mostly set on top, sprinkle with half of the red chile, then pour 1 beaten egg over the pancake. Cook for 2-4 minutes more, until the egg is mostly set.
  • Quickly flip the pancake, then drizzle 1-2 teaspoons of vegetable oil around the edges of the pan to prevent sticking. Cook the pancake for 2-3 minutes more, until the egg is fully cooked and the bottom of the pancake is golden brown and crispy. Set a plate over the skillet and quickly invert the pancake onto the plate. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make another pancake.
  • Slice the pancakes and serve with the dipping sauces.
  • Enjoy!

SCALLION PANCAKES WITH SQUID



Scallion Pancakes With Squid image

The textures in this delicious recipe for pajeon, traditional Korean scallion-based pancakes, are manifold: meaty from the squid, crunchy yielding to soft from the fried bits of batter, juicy from the scallion. It came to The Times from Hooni Kim, the chef at Hanjan in Manhattan. One of the secrets to this pancake is waiting for the oil to heat up before mixing the batter. That way, the batter doesn't sit around and turn gluey. Eat them as hot as you can without burning your fingers. The risk is worth it.

Categories     easy, quick, appetizer

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup soy sauce
6 teaspoons rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon mirin
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons Korean denjang (fermented soybean paste) or Japanese red miso paste
1 tablespoon grated garlic
1 teaspoon grated ginger
1 egg yolk
Grapeseed or vegetable oil, for frying
200 grams rice flour (about 1 1/3 cups)
150 grams all-purpose flour (about 1 cup)
4 grams baking powder (about 1/2 teaspoon)
1 pound squid, cleaned and cut into 1/2-inch rings
2 bunches whole scallions, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, prepare the dipping sauce. Whisk together 2 tablespoons of the soy sauce, 2 teaspoons of the rice wine vinegar and mirin. Set aside.
  • In another small bowl, combine the remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce, the remaining 4 teaspoons rice wine vinegar, denjang or miso paste, garlic, ginger, egg yolk, 1 cup of water and mix well.
  • Heat a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat with 1/4-inch grapeseed or vegetable oil. The oil should be hot, but not smoking, about 325 degrees.
  • In a large bowl, mix the rice flour, all-purpose flour and baking powder. Add the squid and scallions and toss to combine. Pour in the denjang mixture and stir until just combined, taking care not to overmix.
  • Carefully spoon half of the batter into the hot pan and fry until the bottom is golden and crispy, about 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and fry for another 3 to 4 minutes until crispy and cooked through. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet lined with paper towels so oil can drain. Repeat with the second half of the batter. Cut pancakes in quarters and serve with the dipping sauce.

CHEF JOHN'S CHINESE SCALLION PANCAKES



Chef John's Chinese Scallion Pancakes image

These fun-to-make flatbreads are a common fixture on menus in China, and while they all feature the same few ingredients, they come in a variety of thicknesses. The thinner you make these, the crispier they'll be, but you won't get that nice, layered, oniony inside. On the other hand, if you make them too thick, they can be a little doughy inside, so I try to shoot for something in between.

Time 2h50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups bread flour
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
¾ cup very hot water
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
1 bunch green onions, mostly green parts, thinly sliced
1 ½ tablespoons vegetable oil, or as needed

Steps:

  • Combine bread flour and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the middle and pour in hot water. Mix together with a wooden spoon to form a shaggy dough.
  • Transfer dough onto a lightly floured work surface. Knead dough until sticky but relatively smooth and elastic, dusting with a minimal amount of flour if needed. Wrap in plastic wrap and let dough rest for 2 hours.
  • Mix vegetable oil, sesame oil, and flour together in a skillet over medium heat until starting to bubble, about 3 minutes. Cook for 1 minute more. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
  • Unwrap dough and cut in half. Roll out into a tube and press down with your fingers. Use a rolling pin to flatten dough into a rectangular shape about 1/8-inch thick, flipping over and dusting lightly with flour halfway through.
  • Paint surface of the dough with the oil mixture until just covered, leaving 1 inch of space on the edges. Sprinkle scallions on top. Roll dough up tightly to seal in the scallions, starting with the long side. Pull the opposite edge over the top once you have reached it.
  • Coil 1 end of the dough inward toward the middle; wrap the opposite end around the coil to finish, tucking the tip under the bottom. Dust the coil with flour and roll dough out into a pancake about 1/4-inch thick. Repeat with remaining dough, oil, and green onions to make the second pancake.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a cast iron skillet over high heat. Add 1 pancake; lower heat to medium. Cook until crispy and browned, about 4 minutes per side. Repeat with the other pancake. Cut into wedges.

Tips:

  • To make the perfect pancake batter, use a combination of all-purpose flour and cornstarch. This will give the pancakes a crispy exterior and a tender interior.
  • Be sure to let the pancake batter rest for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will allow the flour to fully hydrate and will result in a smoother batter.
  • When cooking the pancakes, be sure to use a non-stick skillet over medium heat. This will prevent the pancakes from sticking and will help them to cook evenly.
  • To make the charred squid pickles, be sure to use a high-quality squid. The fresher the squid, the better the pickles will be.
  • When charring the squid, be sure to do so over high heat. This will help to create a smoky flavor and will also help to tenderize the squid.
  • To make the pickled vegetables, be sure to use a variety of vegetables. This will add flavor and color to the pickles.
  • When assembling the pancakes, be sure to use a generous amount of the charred squid pickles and pickled vegetables. This will add flavor and texture to the pancakes.

Conclusion:

Hot pepper and scallion pancakes with charred squid pickles and vegetables is a delicious and unique dish that is perfect for any occasion. The pancakes are crispy and flavorful, and the charred squid pickles and pickled vegetables add a tangy and refreshing contrast. This dish is sure to impress your friends and family, and it is also a great way to use up leftover squid.
