Instructions
- Mix 1 tsp of yeast and 50ml of warm water. Once the yeast rises, set it aside.
- In a large bowl, add in 2 cups of flour, 1 tsp of salt, 1 tbsp of oil, and yeast mixture. Mix with chopsticks till flakey and slowly add in 130 ml of water.
- Add more water in if still too fry (30 ml), knead until it forms into a ball. Cover and let it rest for 1 hour.
- Chop up eight stalks of green onion
- Roll the dough into a large rectangle, drizzle on some oil, and brush it out, so every part of the dough is covered in oil. Add on some salt, and add green onion in the middle of the rectangle.
- Fold the top part of the rectangle down to cover the green onion, and drizzle a little more oil to brush out on the top folded part of the dough. Sprinkle on a little more salt and covered the top piece of dough with green onion.
- Fold the bottom part up to cover, roll and slightly press on the dough to push out all the air bubbles.
- Drizzle on a little more oil and a little more salt, and add green onion to only half of the dough. Fold the dough over to cover, and pinch everything tightly to close.
- Roll out the dough to flatten a little while pushing out all the air bubbles.
- Optional - Pat on some water, sprinkle on sesame seeds, and press it down, so the sesame seeds stick to the dough.
- In a pan, add in oil, and turn the heat up to medium. Add in around 3.5 tbsp of water, cover, and let it cook for 7-8 minutes. Once the pan is warm, add in the pancake, sesame seeds facing up.
- Flip, add in 2 more tbsp of water, cover, and let it cook for another 3-4 minutes.
