Directions
Fried Spring Onion Pancake, I like this recipe because it uses only a few simple ingredients This is a common Chinese Appetizer — cooked and sold in the Chinese-equivalent of a New York hotdog stand They go for around $0 10 each in China and are typically purchased as a light breakfast or a quick snack between meals , I love this recipe! The pancakes taste far better than the store-bought version, maybe even better than the ones that I have had in restaurants , I like this recipe because it uses only a few simple ingredients This is a common Chinese Appetizer — cooked and sold in the Chinese-equivalent of a New York hotdog stand They go for around $0 10 each in China and are typically purchased as a light breakfast or a quick snack between meals

Steps
|
1
Done
|
Boil 1 Cup of Water; Add 1/4 Cup of Cold Water to the Boiled Water. |
|
2
Done
|
Put 3 Cups of Flour Into a Large Bowl; Slowly Pour Approximately 1 Cup of the Hot Water Into the Flour and Stir the Bowl While You Pour. |
|
3
Done
|
Knead Until All of the Flour in the Bowl Has Joined the Dough; (it May Seem Like There Is Too Little Water at First, but Be Patient; the Dough Will Be Kind of Hot When Kneading; When You Are Done, Your Dough Should not Be Sticky and Should Look Grayish). |
|
4
Done
|
Cover the Ball of Dough With 2 Layers of Moist Paper Towels; Leave Covered For at Least 1 Hour; After an Hour or So, the Dough Should Have Transformed from Gray to White; (you Can Use the Wait-Time to Prepare the Next Step). |
|
5
Done
|
Have Your Chopped Onions and Cooking Oil Ready in Small Bowls; Make Sure Your Rolling Pin and Rolling Board Are Floured; the Steps to Follow Will Need to Be Repeated Until All of the Ingredients Are Used Up. |
|
6
Done
|
Make a Ball of Dough 6-10 Ounces in Volume; (6 Ounces Will Give You a Pancake the Size of a Cd and Will Allow You to O Fry 2-3 of Them at the Same Time;) Make Sure You Re-Cover the Bowl Each Time You Remove Some Dough. |
|
7
Done
|
Use the Roller to Flatten the Ball Into a Round Circle 2-Mm Thick; Sprinkle Salt (you Decide How Much) Uniformly Over The'circle;' Use the Roller to Roll the Salt Crystals Into the Dough. |
|
8
Done
|
Brush a Thin Amount of Cooking Oil Uniformly Over the Circle; Then Sprinkle 1-2 Teaspoons of Chopped Onion Uniformly Over the Circle; (read the Next Step Before Applying the Onions, So as to Better Understand How Much Onions to Apply). |
|
9
Done
|
Roll the Circle Into a Cylinder; (if You Put Too Much Onion, It Won't Roll Well) Gently Squeeze as Much Air Out of The'cylinder' as You Can; Pinch the Ends So the Onions Wont Fall Out; (if the Sides of Your Cylinder Start Popping Holes, You Made the Circle Too Thin, but Don't Worry). |
|
10
Done
|
Roll the Cylinder Along the Length and Tuck the Outer-End Into the Roll; Your Creation Should Look Like a Snail Shell and Be Shaped Like a Rollerskate Wheel. |
|
11
Done
|
Rest The'wheel' on Its Face and Use Your Roller to Flatten It Into a Pancake, Around 4-5 Mm Thick; Don't Be Worried If Onions Start Spilling Out When You Flatten. |
|
12
Done
|
Brush Your Frying Pan With Cooking Oil and Fry on Low Heat; Turn When the Bottom Is Crispy; the Final Pancake Should Be Crispy on the Outside, With a Few Burn Spots on the Surface, and Dense and Chewy on the Inside. |
|
13
Done
|
I Recommend Tasting the First One to Decide If You Want to Add More Salt or Onion, or If You Want to Make the Pancake Thicker or Thinner. |
