Green Onion Cakes
Ingredients:
3 1/3 cups flour
1 1/4 cups boiling water
1/4 cup solid vegetable shortening or cooking oil
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 cup chopped green onions
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
Cooking oil
Dipping Sauce:
1/2 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons chopped green onion
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon chili sauce
Directions:
1. Place flour in a bowl. Add boiling water, stirring with chopsticks or a
fork until dough is evenly moistened. On a lightly floured board, knead
dough until smooth and satiny, about 5 minutes. Cover and let rest for 30
minutes.
2. Combine dipping sauce ingredients in a bowl.
3. On a lightly floured board, roll dough into a cylinder; cut into 12 equal
portions.
4. Make each cake: Roll a portion of dough into an 8−inch circle about 1/8
inch thick; keep remaining dough covered to prevent drying. Brush with a
thin film of shortening. Sprinkle with a small portion of sesame oil, green
onions, salt, and pepper. Roll dough into a cylinder and coil dough into a
round patty; tuck end of dough underneath. Roll again to make an 8−inch
circle about 1/8 inch thick.
Cooking:
1. Place a wide frying pan over medium heat until hot. Add 2 tablespoons
cooking oil, swirling to coat sides. Add cake and cook, turning once, until
golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Remove and drain on paper
towels. Repeat with remaining cakes, adding more cooking oil as needed.
2. Cut cakes into wedges. Serve hot with dipping sauce
