Green Onion Pancake

          One of the favorite Chinese dishes that I grew up with was this. It is such a savory and crispy flat bread filled with green onion and garlic goodness. I just had to make it to relive my childhood.  Surprisingly, this is actually really really easy to make. This recipe only requires three ingredients. Right, so lets get started.

Preptime: 10 min
Cooking time: 10 min






Ingredients
1. 1 green onions/scallions
2. 1 cup of flour
3. 1/2 a cup of flour
4. Pinch of salt 
5. Chinese Five spice (Optional)
6. 2 Cloves of garlic (Optional)


Directions
1. Combine your flour and water until a dough is formed. Just like pizza or bread dough, this requires kneading as well. So knead the dough until the gluten becomes less stretchy. The way you can check if you're done is by cutting the dough. If there are gaps inside, you're not done. If there are no gaps at all, you're finished.


2. Cut up your green onions, and roll at your dough into a circular shape. During this time you can add salt or any kind of spices you want to your dough. Take your chopped scallions, and put it on top of the rolled out dough. Next you're gonna start rolling it up like construction paper. 










3. Once you're done rolling it up horizontally, you're going to roll it up vertically. It's going to turn out into a shape of a snail shell. 

4. After you get the snail shell, push it downwards. You can use a rolling pin to roll it back out into a circular form. As soon as you're done rolling it out, get a nice pan on medium to high heat and drizzle some vegetable oil. 




5. Lay your pancake into the pan and cook each side for 3 to 4 minutes. Cook each side until you get a nice golden color on both sides. Now that you're finished, just get some soy sauce, vinegar, and sesame oil as a sauce. 

Now you have a simple vegetarian Chinese flat bread! Easy to make and it only requires 3 ingredients too! Great to make for midnight munchies or even for snacks
