SCALLION PANCAKES WITH DIM SUM DIPPER

Steps:

• Make the hot water dough: In a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook attachment, combine the flour, salt and two-thirds of the boiling water. Mix on medium speed while slowly adding the remaining water until well mixed and a ball is formed and the dough is not too hot to handle, 3 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle with a little flour if it gets too wet.
• On a floured surface, knead the dough until it becomes a smooth, elastic ball. Place back in the bowl and cover with a damp cloth. Allow to rest for 10 minutes.
• Make the scallion pancakes: On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a log. Cut the log into four pieces. Keep the remaining dough covered as you roll one piece thin into an 1/8-inch circle/oval shape.
• In a small bowl, combine the grapeseed oil and sesame oil. Brush the oil over the pancake. Starting with the long side nearest you, roll the dough, jelly-roll fashion, to make a tight log. Twist each end of the log in opposite direction 4 or 5 times (this will make additional pancake layers), then wrap the log around itself to make a coil, tucking the outside end beneath the coil. With a rolling pin, flatten the coil to 1/4-inch thick, brush with the oil, season with salt and cover with a quarter of the scallions.

Twist each end of the log in opposite direction 4 or 5 times (this will make additional pancake layers), then wrap the log around itself to make a coil, tucking the outside end beneath the coil. Roll out to a pancake. Repeat to make 4 pancakes.
• Heat a wok or cast-iron pan over medium heat. Add oil and swirl to coat the pan. Add the pancakes, one at a time, and cook, turning once and moving and spinning the pancake for even cooking, until golden brown and crispy on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side, wiping out the skillet and adding additional oil in between as needed. Season lightly with flaky sea salt and cut pancakes into wedges.
• Make the dim sum dipper: Combining all ingredients in a small bowl and mix well. Serve with the pancakes.
