Spring Onion Pancake Recipe 葱油饼

Hi everyone. =)

I'm gonna share a simple yet delicious Chinese pancake aka spring onion pancake recipe.

Ingredients: Chopped spring onions, flour, and water
Seasoning: salt
Portion: 1 person

You only need 4 things for this. Simple isn't it?


Firstly, place 8 spoons of all purpose flour (normal flour) in a bowl. 

I measured it using this kind of spoon (normal dining spoon). The amount of flour doesn't need to be precise as it depends on how thick you want your pancake to be.

If the flour is more than the water, then the pancake will be thicker or vice versa.


Prepare 200ml water.


Mix the water with the flour.


After it is well combined, add in the chopped spring onions.


Mix well. There shouldn't be any lumps in your batter. If there is, continue mixing it. The batter should be watery like. 

Don't forgot to add some salt.


Add some oil in a non stick pan.


Pour some of the batter to the pan. I didn't measure it with any tools, just pour accordingly.

If you wanna make bigger ones, pour more batter, or else pour lesser.


You know it's ready to be flipped when the pancake becomes a bit transparent in colour,


Press it with the turner so that it is flat enough. This is a crucial step if you want it to be thin and crispy.


2nd piece. You can also tell that it's ready to be flipped when the sides of it browned like this one.


I like my pancakes to be thin and crispy. This one is perfection!

Unlike Western style pancake which is thick and fluffy, I personally think that Chinese pancake should be very thin so that it's crispy.


Ta-da! Completed ones. This recipe makes 4 pancakes. Double up your ingredients if you wanna make more.


That's it. Hope you like it and enjoy.
