Scallion Pancakes image

This is some gorgeous finger food, I got the recipe from some food magazine ages ago. Would go well as a apetizer to a Chinese or maybe Mexican dinner. I would suggest using small tortillas, but if you only have bigger ones you also need a bigger frying pan.

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 large egg
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
4 flour tortillas
1/2 cup scallion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, for frying
4 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1/4 tablespoon sesame oil
1 dash Tabasco sauce
1/2 tablespoon sesame seeds

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and the sesame oil.
  • Put the tortillas on a flat surface and brush one side liberally with the egg-oil mixture.
  • In a small bowl, mix the scallions and the cilantro.
  • Divide the mixture between two tortillas, spread even but leave 1 inch border.
  • Pour reminder of the mixture on the scallions, but make sure you don't overdo it and it doesn't flood.
  • Top the filled tortillas with the remaining ones, brushed side down and press edges to seal. You might need to do this while frying too.
  • Heat the oil in a pan, add one pancake and cook until crispy and golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the other tortilla.
  • Cut pancake into six wedges and serve with a dipping sauce.
