This vegan Chinese scallion pancake is just as crispy and tasty as the real thing, but it doesn't contain any animal products. You can eat this simple but tasty dish as a snack or as part of a meal.
Ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour. 3/4 cup warm water. 2 tablespoons sesame oil. 1/2 teaspoon salt. 1 cup finely chopped scallions green onions.
Instructions: Put the all-purpose flour and salt in a bowl and mix them together. As you stir, slowly add warm water until a dough forms. For about 5 minutes, knead the dough on a floured surface until it gets smooth and springy. Make 4 equal pieces of dough and roll each one into a ball. Make a thin circle out of each dough ball. Spread sesame oil on top of each circle and then sprinkle chopped scallions all over the top. Make a tight cylinder out of each circle and then coil it into a round dough ball. Use a rolling pin to make each dough ball into the shape of a pancake. Put a nonstick pan on medium heat and add a little oil. Each pancake should be cooked for two to three minutes on each side, or until it is golden brown and crispy. Serve hot with the sauce of your choice.
