SCALLION PANCAKES

Steps:

• For the dipping sauce: Combine all the dipping sauce ingredients in a bowl and let it sit while you make the pancakes. Remove the ginger and cilantro before serving.
• For the pancakes: Put the egg, water, sesame oil, and salt into a blender and blend well. Add the flour and blend until smooth, it should be the consistency of heavy cream. Stir in the cilantro, scallion, and sesame seeds. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat; add 1 teaspoon peanut oil and spread it around the pan with a paper towel. Pour in half the batter, swirling and tipping the pan to get one thin layer over the bottom of the pan. Cook until set, about 2 minutes. Flip the pancake with a spatula and cook on the other side for about 1 minute. Place the scallion pancake on a platter and make another pancake with the remaining batter. Cut the pancakes into wedges or roll them up and cut them into pieces. Serve with the dipping sauce.

SCALLION PANCAKES

Steps:

• Make the dipping sauce: Combine the vinegar, soy sauce, sugar and sesame oil in a small bowl and whisk until the sugar dissolves; set aside.
• Make the scallion pancakes: Put the flour in a large bowl, then add the boiling water and stir with a wooden spoon until the dough forms a ball.
• Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth, elastic and no longer sticky, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer the dough to a large bowl, cover and let rest 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 200˚ F. Divide the dough into 8 pieces, then roll each into a thin 8-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. Brush each circle of dough with 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil and sprinkle with 1 heaping tablespoon scallions; season with 1/8 teaspoon salt. Roll up each circle of dough into a cigar; then, working from one side, roll each into a coil, tucking the ends underneath. Lightly flour the surface again and roll each coil to a 7-inch pancake (1/8 inch thick).
• Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pancake and cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven. Repeat with the remaining pancakes, adding 1 more tablespoon vegetable oil to the skillet each time and reducing the heat to medium if the pancakes are browning too quickly. Slice the pancakes into wedges. Serve with the dipping sauce.

• In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and the sesame oil.
• Put the tortillas on a flat surface and brush one side liberally with the egg-oil mixture.
• In a small bowl, mix the scallions and the cilantro.
• Divide the mixture between two tortillas, spread even but leave 1 inch border.
• Pour reminder of the mixture on the scallions, but make sure you don't overdo it and it doesn't flood.
• Top the filled tortillas with the remaining ones, brushed side down and press edges to seal. You might need to do this while frying too.
• Heat the oil in a pan, add one pancake and cook until crispy and golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the other tortilla.
• Cut pancake into six wedges and serve with a dipping sauce.

BREAKFAST STUFFED SCALLION PANCAKES

Steps:

• Whisk together the flour and 1 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Add the boiling water and stir with a rubber spatula until blended. If the dough is dry, add up to 2 more tablespoons water (it does not have to be boiling). When the dough is cool enough to handle, knead on a lightly floured surface until elastic yet firm, about 5 minutes. Cover with a damp cloth and set aside for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, stir together the sesame oil and scallions in a small bowl and set aside.
• Divide the dough into 4 pieces and keep covered. One at a time, roll each piece into a 7-inch circle about 1/16 inch thick. Spread one-quarter of the scallion mixture evenly over 1 dough piece. Roll the dough up tightly like a jelly roll. Coil the dough into a circle, cover and set aside. Repeat with the remaining dough pieces and scallion mixture.
• Flatten each coil with your hand on a floured surface, then roll with a floured rolling pin into a thin 8-inch circle. Carefully transfer the pancakes to a large baking sheet lined with parchment. If you need to stack the pancakes, put additional parchment paper between the pancakes so that they do not stick together. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the bacon. Cook, flipping halfway through, until the bacon is crispy, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Reserve the bacon fat in the skillet.
• Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Pour a thin layer of vegetable oil into the skillet. Add 1 dough round and cook until golden brown and crispy in spots, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer the pancake to a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining pancakes, adding more oil as needed.
• Return the skillet with the bacon drippings to low heat. Whisk together the milk and eggs in a medium bowl with a large pinch of salt and pepper. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook, stirring the eggs and scraping the sides and bottom of the skillet as needed, until small curds form and the eggs are just set, 6 to 8 minutes. Turn off the heat and gently stir in the Cheddar.
• Divide the cheesy eggs among the 4 pancakes, gently spreading the eggs over one half of each pancake. Lay the bacon over the eggs and sprinkle with the cilantro. Fold each pancake in half, then fold in half once more like a crepe.

Steps:

• Sift the flour and 3/4 teaspoon salt into a large bowl. Stir in 1/2 cup hot water until blended. If the dough is dry, add up to 2 more tablespoons water. Knead on a lightly floured surface until elastic yet firm, about 5 minutes. Cover with a damp cloth and set aside for 30 minutes.
• Divide the dough into 6 pieces and keep covered. One at a time, roll each piece into a 4-inch-long log, then stretch into a 14-inch-long rope. Brush with shortening and sprinkle with about 1 tablespoon scallion. Coil the dough into a circle, cover and set aside. Repeat with the remaining dough. Flatten the coils with your hand on a floured surface, then roll with a floured rolling pin into a thin circle. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pancake and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and repeat with the remaining pancakes, adding more oil as needed. Cut into wedges to serve.

CHINESE SCALLION PANCAKES

Steps:

• Mix flour and 1 teaspoon salt together in a large bowl; pour in boiling water and quickly mix together until water is absorbed. Work cold water, about 1 tablespoon at a time, into flour mixture just until dough forms. Knead dough for 10 minutes. Cover bowl with a damp cloth and let dough rest for 40 minutes.
• Turn dough onto a lightly floured work surface; divide into 4 equal pieces.
• Roll 1 piece of dough into a large thin round; brush the top with vegetable oil and sprinkle with about 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 the green onions. Pick up 1 end of the round and roll dough around green onions into a long scroll-shape. Take 1 scroll end and roll dough into a disk. Repeat with remaining dough, letting each disk rest for 10 minutes.
• Heat about 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Place 1 disk on a floured surface and roll into a 1/2-inch thick round; cook in the hot oil until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining disks.
