What Is A Scallion Pancake Made Of?
A scallion pancake, also known as cong you bing in Mandarin, is a savory Chinese flatbread that is made of flour, water, and finely sliced scallions (green onions). The dough is kneaded, rolled out, and then thinly coated with oil and more scallions before being folded and rolled into a spiral. The dough is then flattened again and fried until crispy and golden brown on both sides. Scallion pancakes are often served as a breakfast or snack food and can be enjoyed plain or with dipping sauces.
