Crispy outsides and chewy insides! Packed with fresh scallions and a favorite Chinese side dish and snack! These are actually a lot easier than expected. They freeze well and can be frozen until use!
I grew on buying these at my local 99 ranch market. I always ran to the frozen section and threw it into the cart whenever I went shopping with my mom! These are delicious by itself with the soy dipping sauce or even rolled up as beef rolls!
The more kneading in this recipe, the better for gluten development. It’s important to start with hot water dough in order to roll it out without having the dough bounce back. This way, it’ll lead to a more thin and flaky pancake!
It’s best to roll it out without scallions, then add the scallions at the end since they tend to break up the layers! Alright, let’s get down to the recipe! These are too good to not make!
