Hunan Onion Cake

Features:
    Cuisine:

    I learned to make these in a Chinese cooking class I took many years ago. We did not deep-fry these, but either cooked them in a dry skillet or with just a little bit of oil. (Sprinke salt before topping with the second tortilla). They work beautifully both ways, but I think I prefer them with the touch of oil.(I cannot remember when I last deep-fried anything, I'm afraid). Also, I also added a little bit of shredded cheese to a couple of these - most assuredly a non-Chinese touch, but even our instructor admitted to liking them that way. Anyway, thanks for posting

    Hunan Onion Cake, Adopted 9/15. Note to self: Do NOT change. Adjustments: Wheat flour tortillas added, peanut oil specified and salt now optional, I learned to make these in a Chinese cooking class I took many years ago. We did not deep-fry these, but either cooked them in a dry skillet or with just a little bit of oil. (Sprinke salt before topping with the second tortilla). They work beautifully both ways, but I think I prefer them with the touch of oil.(I cannot remember when I last deep-fried anything, I’m afraid). Also, I also added a little bit of shredded cheese to a couple of these – most assuredly a non-Chinese touch, but even our instructor admitted to liking them that way. Anyway, thanks for posting, What a simple but yummy snack! So very easy to put together and really not that bad for you either. I have had the same type thing made with egg roll wrappers and there really isn’t too much difference when using tortillas. I like the fact that most of the ingredients are usually on hand and if one decides they want something to munch on, it won’t take forever to prepare. Thanks for another alternative to a bag of greasy chips!
