Scallion Pancakes with Garlic Soy Dipping Sauce
- 1- 1/2 cup All-purpose Flour
- 1/2 cups Hot Water
- 2 whole Scallions, Thinly Sliced
- 2 Tablespoons Oil Or More As Needed (for Brushing On Pancake And For The Pan)
- 3/4 teaspoons Salt
- 3 Tablespoons Toasted Sesame Seeds
- 1 Tablespoon Soy Sauce
- 1 teaspoon Chinese Black Vinegar
- 1 Tablespoon Water
- 1/4 teaspoons Sugar
- 1 clove Minced Garlic
- 1 Tablespoon Chopped Scallion
- In a mixing bowl, add the flour and hot water and stir until it forms a dough.
- On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough for five minutes until smooth.
- Place dough back in the bowl, cover with plastic wrap or a clean towel, and allow it to rest for 30 minutes.
- While the dough is resting, you can slice your scallions and assemble the dipping sauce.
- After those thirty minutes are up, cut your dough into three equal pieces.
- Take a rolling pin and roll each piece into a seven-inch circle.
- Each time you roll, pick up the dough and turn it a quarter-turn to the left (or the right ... were not picky).
- This gives you a perfect circle every time and prevents the dough from sticking to the board.
- Brush each circle with some oil, and sprinkle each with 1/3 of the salt and scallions.
- Roll the circle of dough into a cigar shaped log.
- Then coil that around itself like a snail.
- Then roll that out into a pancake about six inches in diameter (you dont want it to be too thin).
- Sprinkle the pancake with some of the sesame seeds and press them lightly into the dough.
- Repeat this process with the other two pieces of dough.
- Heat a nonstick pan or cast iron skillet with about a tablespoon of oil.
- While oil is heating assemble the dipping sauce (just put all the sauce ingredients into a little bowl and stir!
- ).
- When pan is hot fry each pancake, about 3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
- Cut into wedges and serve with your dipping sauce.
