Green onion (scallion) pancakes
Roll out the dough into a log and cut into eight to ten equal pieces.
Take one piece and, with a rolling pin, form into a flat thin circle about seven inches in diameter.
Place a tablespoonful of onion leaves on the flattened dough.
Starting at the edge nearest you, roll the dough outward to form a “cigar” pressing lightly to make the dough longer and thinner.
Lift one end of the rolled dough and swirl to form a coil.
Flatten with a rolling pin.
Repeat until all the dough pieces have been filled, rolled, coiled and flattened.

[...] The lazy way to make onion pancakes is to simply roll them flat. That’s what I did on my first attempt. Then, my pride and my self-respect took the better of me — surely I could do better than that. I did a second attempt, rolling and coiling and re-rolling them, and the result made me proud. Take a look. [...]

Aha! Something to rival and even surpass the little bread thingies they serve you in Italianni’s na meron ring dipping sauce or is that just olive oil?
Interesting, and definitely something that I’d be doing for my family…parang masarap yung 2nd dipping sauce na sina-ggest mo, Connie. Thanks again!
Olive oil and balsamic vinegar?
Ah, yes that’s right.
Please check your email, Connie… I have a surprise for you there! Hope you’ll like it.
Got it. Thank you so very, very much!
You’re welcome, Connie…
Wow! That looks doable and tasty. Gotta try it. Might even work with leeks. Thanks!
Connie, Thank you so much for the illustrated pictures! I have read recipes that explained this technique, but seeing it makes it more doable! I will try these as soon as I can get some fresh green onions. Thank you again!
This reminds me of Chinese pancakes we ate in Binondo. I live in Marikina now so the idea of making my own excites me. Thank you for sharing this.
Just want to clarify though, because this confuses me to no end. Is green onion different from chives (the store in Binondo says kuchay?) If so, which one is sibuyas na mura? It looks the same to me so I don’t know which is which.
Yes, their different. Sibuyas na mura is green onions. Chinese chives or kutchay (the tips often have buds, they are more firm and they stay form longer) are more fibrous and require a longer cooking time.
Thank you Miss Connie!
Hi Connie, can this be baked too? Para hindi oily sana..
I don’t know. I really think this dough is made for frying. You can always use a non-stick pan and minimal oil.
wow! looks yummy hubby loves onions so much i will try this once were done moving to our new house. and i have a huge backyard and i’m planning to have fruits trees and herb just like yours:))
Congratulations! Oh, you will love planting herbs. And the mere motion of going to the garden to pick them before cooking? Ah, priceless.
Hi Ms. Connie! My hubby will surely like this recipe… but my eldest daughter surely won’t… she hates onions. Can I make this bread using cheese or tuna or ham instead of onions? please advise me… thanks
Cheese will make it sticky and the cheese will melt during frying so I don’t think so. Ham or tuna might work.
thanks for sharing.my family loves it..
they want it again this coming weekend..
muchos graciasssss
I tried this, and it was perfect! I added some black vinegar into the 2nd dip suggestion and it was good too.
Happy to say that I did this last Friday! And I never thought it could be so easy to make… and yes, the results were very good… UBOS!!!
I love this stuff. I have enjoyed this scallion pancakes as an accompaniment to peking duck and it had some sauce (I think plum sauce) to complete the meal.
The Koreans too have a version of this but as I recall these were imbeded with some seafood like shrimp and scallions. Can’t be too sure though. The Japanese too have their version of it but using shredded cabbage and scallions.
Hey Connie,yours is a great blog.
These are similar to Indian stuff paratha’s so those who don’t want to fry it can roast it on the hot pan like parathas.
Heat a nonstick frying pan and place the bread on it.After a minute flip over the bread to roast the other side.Roast it for a minute .Aply little oil on the first side (1/2Teaspoon to 1 Teaspoon or even less)and flip it over to roast further(keep presssing all sides of the bread with a spatula so the bread gets heat evenly).Now just lift the bread little bit with the spatula and see whether brown spots have started appearing on the surface .Now apply little oil on the other side and flip over to roast,keep on pressing with spatula.The bread is done when you see little brown spots on the surface.
The trick is to roast on medium heat so that the bread gets cooked inside out.If heat is too high only the surface will burn and bread will be uncooked inside.If heat is too low then bread will get hard.
That looks delicious! I wish i was not dieting
Hi Miss. SASSY,
