Scallion Pancakes with Spicy Soy Sauce

Ingredients

Dough

1 cup Flour

1/2 cup water

3 stalk Scallion (greens)

3 tsp Oil

6 pinches Salt

Sauce

1 tsp soy sauce/oyster sauce

2 tbsp water

¼ tsp salt

1 tsp sugar

1 stalk scallion (whole)

½ tsp hot pepper flakes

½ tsp vinegar

You can eliminate the water and salt and just use 2.5 tbls of soy sauce. However I tried that and found the soy sauce overpowers all the other flavors, so i diluted it. (which I'm almost positive is what restaurants do as well)

instructions

1. First start by combining all the ingredients to make the dipping sauce, the longer the red pepper flakes and scallions soak in this mixture the better. You can make this even the day before.

2. Combine flour and hot water make a simple dough

3. Drizzle on a little oil, cover with plastic and leave to sit for 10 to 20 mins

4. slice the greens of three scallion stalks

5. Split the dough in two and roll it out. Paint with some oil and spinkle with salt about 3 pinches

6. take half the scallions and sprinkle over the dough

7. roll it up tightly

8. once its rolled horizontally, roll the opposite way similar to a snails coil.

9 then take the rolling pin and roll this dough out again. this creates layers and fuses the salt and scallions into the dough. don't worry if scallions poke out the dough

10. fry the pancake in about 3 table spoons of oil

11 flip when one side is brown, remove when pancakes are golden

12 serve with the soy dipping sauce
