Crispy Scallion Pancake

This online cooking class is based on a recipe well-loved by my extended family from Hong Kong. Crispy Scallion Pancake is one of the most classic savory snacks in the Chinese culture. It is crispy on the outside, fluffy and soft on the inside. You can enjoy this snack on its own with chili sauce or serve it as the bread during dinner. This recipe is naturally plant-based, though you could make it with lard for extra flavor.

The class is interactive, full of amazing family and travel stories, and uses 3 simple ingredients: flour, vegetable oil, and scallion. We will start by making the dough for the pancake from scratch. While that is resting, we will prepare the scallion and talk about variations on how to make this your own. Once the dough is ready, you will learn a few tricks to create a flavorful and flaky pancake. The cooking process is also key to creating a crispy and fluffy pancake, versus an under-cooked, soggy, or dense dough. You’ll make one medium-sized pancake during this online cooking class. It is best served immediately while it is still hot. You could also double the recipe and freeze the uncooked pancake for later.
