CHINA ONION RECIPES

Steps:

• Combine 2 cups flour and 1 cup boiling water in a bowl. Stir with chopsticks until cool enough to handle. Massage with your hands until the mixture becomes a dough. Transfer to a flour-dusted work surface and knead for 5 minutes. Return dough to the bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Return dough to a flour-dusted work surface. Shape into a rectangular loaf shape. Cut the dough into 4 equal-sized pieces; return 3 pieces to the refrigerator.
• Roll 1 piece of dough out into a 10-inch circle using a rolling pin. Spread 4 teaspoons oil on the surface. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 the green onions. Roll circle up into a scroll shape. Roll the scroll sideways into a cinnamon-roll shape. Press down on the roll using the rolling pin to gently flatten it into a 7-inch pancake. Repeat with the remaining dough and oil.
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a wok over medium heat. Transfer the pancake to the hot wok; flip after 30 seconds. Flip again every 1 to 2 minutes until both side are golden, 3 to 5 minutes total. Cook the remaining 3 pancakes, adding 2 tablespoons oil to the skillet each time.

Steps:

• Mix salt with all purpose flour.
• Prepare a large mixing bowl. Dig a small hole in center and then pour the hot water in. Wait for 10 minutes and then stir in the cold water and vegetable oil. Grasp everything to form a ball, cover and rest for 5 minutes and then knead until very smooth (around 3-5 minutes ). The dough should be quite soft. Cover the rest for 20 to 30 minutes.
• After resting, the dough should be quite easy to roll out. Divide the large dough into 4 pieces and roll each piece into a large around circle. Brush some oil, sprinkle Chinese five spice power and chopped scallion (leave the 1 cm of the edge empty).
• Roll up the circle into a cylinder. And further roll into the shape of a snail. Cover with wet cloth and rest for 10 to 15 minutes.Roll the snail out to another thin circle.
• Brush some cooking oil on the pan and move the circle into the pan. Use middle fire to pan-fry until the surface becomes brown around 2-3 minutes. And turn over to fry for another 1 to 2 minutes. Use a spatula to press the circle from time and time especially the central part to ensure the circle is evenly fried.
• Remove the circle out and cut into wedges.
