Directions
Green Onion Cakes, These chewy fried Chinese flatbreads are delicious! They are common at fairs and festivals in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada where I lived for 5 years They are commonly served with fiery hot Chinese chili garlic sauce that you can find at most grocery stores If you’re not into spicy food, you can serve this with plum sauce or sweet and sour dipping sauce instead Although, these are lengthy instructions, the green onion cakes are pretty easy to make and well worth the effort If you don’t want to cook them all at once, you can freeze the uncooked cakes, then thaw and fry them as needed If you freeze them, separate each cake with a small piece of wax paper , I made these in my dorm a few weeks ago before i looked the recipe up but i thought they were a specialty of Edmonton, something i saw in a book about Edmonton a great poor mans snack, a meal before payday , After 10 years, finally I was thrilled to taste these again I too lived in Edmonton for 3 years and always remember the ‘Taste of Edmonton’ festival and these delightful little treats But for some reason never tried to make them before now We devoured them Thanks for the great recipe and the memories it brought back
