Steps:
- Take the dumpling wrappers out of the refrigerator, and let them warm up a bit (they don't necessarily have to be at room temperature, but they shouldn't be cold). Wash the scallions and pat them thoroughly dry with a clean kitchen towel. Slice the scallions in half lengthwise and finely chop them.
- Prepare a small dish of salt and a dish of oil, along with a pastry brush.
- On a clean work surface, take a dumpling wrapper, brush it with a thin layer of oil, and lightly sprinkle with salt. Then cover with a layer of scallions. Top it with another dumpling wrapper, and lightly press it down. Repeat the process until you have 4-7 layers of dumpling wrappers.
- Use a rolling pin to roll the layered dumpling skins into a pancake--however thick or thin you like. Rotate the scallion pancake as you roll to get a perfect round shape.
- Heat a flat-bottomed non-stick or cast iron pan over medium heat. Spread 1 tablespoon oil around in the pan, and add the scallion pancake. Cook each side until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. (Avoid using high heat, as it will burn the pancake without cooking it through).
- If the pan looks dry after flipping the pancake, you can add another tablespoon of oil.
- Enjoy these plain or with a dipping sauce! We've found that they go great with our dumpling dipping sauce.

Steps:
- Mix flour and salt together in a bowl. Pour in water and combine with an electric stand mixer or knead with your hands until you have a smooth dough that's not sticky. Let rest for 20 to 30 minutes.
- Divide dough into 4 equal pieces. Form into balls and let rest for 15 minutes.
- Roll each ball into a very thin, 8x12-inch rectangle. The thinner the rectangle is, the more layers you will have in the end. Spread about 1/2 tablespoon of shortening on each rectangle. Spread 1/4 cup scallions on top. Roll each rectangle so you have long ropes; press down on each end to seal. Roll each into a tight, snake-like coil, with seams inside.
- Heat a 12-inch nonstick pan over medium heat. Put oil in the pan and spread around with a spatula. Place 1 pancake flat into the pan and cook, covered, about 2 minutes. Uncover and flip; season with salt and continue to cook until golden, about 4 minutes more.
- Crack 1 egg in a small bowl and beat lightly. Add salt and pepper. Pour egg on top of the pancake, spreading evenly. Cover and cook until egg is set, 2 to 3 minutes. Uncover and fold pancake in half. Transfer to a plate and cut with a pizza cutter into 4 wedges. Repeat with remaining pancakes and eggs.

Steps:

Pull pan from heat and add egg mixture seasoned with salt. Toss and scramble the eggs, putting the pan back over the heat briefly if necessary, then remove eggs to a plate. Wipe pan clean and add a drizzle of oil to skillet and a tortilla. Blister the tortilla, 30 seconds, turn it and add 1/4 of the scallions and eggs to top the tortilla. Fold the tortilla into quarters and crisp the outsides then remove, repeat with remaining ingredients then serve with sauce for dipping.
KOREAN SCALLION PANCAKES (PAJEON)
These crispy fried scallion pancakes are traditionally paired with makgeolli, or Korean rice beer, and can be a vehicle for any number of ingredients. Instead of, or in addition to, the scallions, you can fill pajeon with garlic chives, ramps, small squid, shrimp, thin slices of Korean chile, or julienned carrots. To get the pancakes as crispy as possible, make sure the batter is very cold and the pan smoking hot and slicked with plenty of oil.

Steps:
- Make the pancakes:.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, sugar, salt, and pepper; stir to blend.
- In a separate small bowl, add the soy sauce, garlic, doenjang, and egg yolks; whisk to combine. Add this mixture and the club soda into the dry ingredients. Whisk about 10 times, then transfer to the freezer and let rest 10 minutes (this will help any remaining clumps incorporate).
- Meanwhile, make the dipping sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk the soy sauce, mirin, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Set aside.
- Retrieve the batter and fold in the scallion pieces. If the batter is too thick, add more club soda, 1⁄4 cup at a time, and mix well.
- Line a baking sheet with paper towels, and set it next to the stove.
- In a 10-inch nonstick skillet, heat 1⁄2 cup of the oil over high heat. Once shimmering, carefully add 1 cup of the batter to the center of the pan. Using a spatula, spread to form a 7-inch pancake; avoid letting the batter touch the sides if possible (to prevent the edges from burning before the center is cooked through).
- Lower the heat to medium and cook until the bottom of the pancake has set, 2-3 minutes. Gently slide a spatula under the edge of the pancake and lift it, tilting the pan so some of the hot oil runs underneath the pancake. Cook until the bottom is crispy and deep golden brown, 2-3 minutes more. Carefully flip the pancake, being careful not to let the oil splash, and cook on the remaining side until golden brown and cooked through, 3-4 minutes.
- Transfer to the prepared baking sheet, letting the paper towels absorb any excess oil.
- Place the pan back over high heat, and add 2-3 tablespoons more oil if needed. Repeat the process until all the batter is used. To keep the finished pancakes warm and crispy, set them in a single layer on a baking sheet and place in a low (200°) oven.
- Cut each pancake into pieces and serve with the dipping sauce on the side.

EGG, SHRIMP, AND SCALLION PANCAKES
Long before I knew about Chinese American egg foo yong, I was dipping these tasty pancakes in fish sauce and soy sauce and enjoying them with hot rice. When my mother was short of time, she would prepare a couple of plates full of these yellow, pink, and green pancakes for dinner. They are incredibly easy to whip up and yet taste fancy. The edges get fluffy and crispy from frying in a liberal amount of oil, and each rich bite contains a bit of tasty shrimp. I don't devein the shrimp for these pancakes because I have found that it leaves unattractive lumps. But if you prefer to devein them, do so.

Steps:
- Refresh the shrimp by putting them in a colander and tossing them with a liberal amount of salt. Rinse immediately under cold water and press gently to drain well. Put the shrimp in a bowl, add the eggs and scallions, and mix well.
- Put enough oil into a large nonstick skillet to coat the bottom thinly. Place over medium heat and heat until a drop of egg immediately sizzles and bubbles upon contact with the oil. To make each pancake, ladle about 2 tablespoons of the egg mixture into the skillet, making sure that a few shrimp are included in each portion, and then quickly nudge the shrimp in each pool of egg so they don't overlap. Fry only as many pancakes at once as will fit without crowding, about 3 pancakes at a time in a 12-inch skillet. Don't worry about the shape each one takes, as they are meant to be free-form. When the edges of a pancake are set and lightly browned, after about 2 minutes, use a spatula to turn it carefully. (If the pancakes have stuck together, use the spatula to separate them before flipping.) Fry for another 30 seconds to 1 minute, until browned on the second side. Transfer the finished pancakes to a plate and keep warm while you fry the rest.
- Arrange the pancakes on 2 plates or a platter and serve with the fish sauce for dipping.
Tips:
- Use a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet. This will help the pancakes cook evenly and prevent them from sticking.
- Make sure the oil is hot before adding the pancake batter. This will help the pancakes to brown and crisp up.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet. Cook the pancakes in batches if necessary.
- Flip the pancakes carefully. Scallion pancakes are delicate, so be careful not to break them when flipping.
- Serve the pancakes immediately. They are best when eaten fresh and warm.
- Get creative with your fillings. You can add other ingredients to the pancake batter, such as cheese, ham, or vegetables.
Conclusion:
Scallion pancakes are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast, lunch, or dinner option. They are perfect for a quick meal or a special occasion. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make these pancakes at home. So what are you waiting for? Give them a try today!
