Scallion Pancakes
A boiling-water dough rests until pliable. Each piece rolls thin into a long rectangle, gets a brush of sesame oil, salt, and a generous sprinkle of sliced scallions. Rolling the rectangle into a log and coiling it into a spiral creates the laminated layers. The spiral flattens to a disc and pan-fries in a thin slick of oil until each side is deep gold with crispy frilled edges.
