How to Make Fried Spring Onion Pancake

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and sesame oil until just combined.
  2. Gradually add the water, mixing until a shaggy dough forms. Knead the dough for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  3. Add the chopped spring onions to the dough and knead for another 2 minutes until evenly distributed.
  4. Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a thin, round disc (about 6-8 inches in diameter).
  5. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large frying pan over medium heat.
  6. Cook each pancake for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. You may need to adjust the heat to prevent burning.
  7. Serve immediately while hot and crispy. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce (soy sauce, chili oil, or sweet and sour sauce are all excellent choices).
