Ingredients
  

For the Pancakes
  • 2 cups All Purpose Flour Substitute with gluten-free flour for a gluten-free option.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Using sea salt can add a more complex taste.
  • 3/4 cup Hot Water Ensure it's hot but not boiling.
  • 3 tablespoons Vegetable Oil Substitute with sesame oil for deeper flavor.
  • 5 scallions Scallions (Green Onions) Feel free to use more for a stronger taste.
For the Dipping Sauce
  • 1/4 cup Coconut Aminos Regular soy sauce works if gluten is not a concern.
  • 2 tablespoons Rice Vinegar Apple cider vinegar can be used as a substitute.
  • 1 teaspoon Toasted Sesame Oil Can be omitted if desired.
  • 2 cloves Garlic Fresh garlic is preferred.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes Adjust according to spice preference.

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Non-stick skillet
  • fork or chopsticks

Method
 

Dough Preparation and Cooking
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually pour in hot water while stirring until a shaggy dough forms. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 5-7 minutes. Cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.
  2. Wash and finely slice the scallions, setting them aside.
  3. Divide the dough into 4 pieces. Roll each piece into a circle. Brush with oil and sprinkle scallions on top. Roll into a log, coil into a spiral, and flatten gently.
  4. Heat oil in a skillet. Fry each pancake for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  5. For the dipping sauce, combine coconut aminos, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes. Let sit for 10 minutes.

Notes

Allowing the dough to rest helps relax the gluten for a more tender pancake. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
