Ingredients

• ¼ teaspoon salt (Optional)
• 1 cup warm water
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil (Optional)
• 1 bunch green onions, finely chopped
• 2 cups all-purpose flour, or as needed
• 1 teaspoon oil (Optional)
• ½ tablespoon oil, or as needed (Optional)

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine flour, water, 1 teaspoon oil, and salt in a large bowl. Knead until well combined. Cover and set aside until dough is soft but not wet and sticky, 10 to 15 minutes. Add more flour if needed.

Step 2

Divide dough into 8 pieces. Roll each piece into an 8-inch-long strip about 2 inches thick.

Step 3

Sprinkle the dough with green onions and sesame oil. Roll each strip into a spiral, pinching the end to prevent unrolling.

Step 4

Flatten each spiral with a rolling pin to create a disk-shaped pancake about 5 inches wide.

Step 5

Heat 1/2 tablespoon oil in a pan over medium-low heat. Fry each scallion pancake until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side.
