• Vegetable oil

  for brushing and pan-frying
• 1 tbsp Soy sauce
• 1 tsp Chinese black vinegar
• 1 tbsp Water
• 1 clove Garlic

  minced
• 1 tbsp Green Onion

  chopped

Instructions

• 1 Stir the hot water into the flour in a large bowl. Wait until it has cooled and
  knead until it forms a smooth dough.
• 2 Cover with plastic wrapper or a wet cloth and rest for at least 30 minutes. The
  gluten will relax, making it easier to roll out.
• 3 Heat oil over medium heat and fry green onions whites until browned. Discard the
  green onion. Pour the flavoured oil into a small bowl or ramekin with flour.
  Stir until combined.
• 4 Cut the dough into quarters and roll a portion into a large rectangle. Sprinkle
  salt and sesame seeds and brush with a layer of oil-flour mixture. Sprinkle with
  chopped scallion or chives.
• 5 Starting from the long end, roll the dough up like folding a hand fan or
  accordion. Cover the dough and rest for 15 minutes. Repeat the process and
  finish all of the remaining dough portions.
• 6 Roll each portion into a large pancake, approximately 5 inches in diameter.
• 7 Add 3 tablespoons of oil into a hot pan and fry the Green Onion Cakes until
  golden brown on one side (about 3-4 minutes). Turn over so both sides of the
  pancake are golden brown.
• 8 In a medium sized bowl whisk dipping sauce ingredients together. Serve with hot
  and crispy Green Onion Cakes.
