Delicious Scallion Pancakes on the Grill

Celebrate the Lunar New Year with Oscarware’s Grilled Scallion Pancakes – a tantalizing twist on a classic favorite that takes your taste buds on a journey of smoky, savory delight! In this innovative recipe, we use the Oscarware^® 16”x12” Porcelain Coated Griddle Topper to elevate traditional scallion pancakes to new heights. The griddle topper infuses the pancakes with a smokiness that perfectly complements the delicate flavors of green onions and spices.

Dough Instructions

1. In a large bowl, blend together the dry ingredients until perfectly combined, creating the foundation for our crispy, golden pancakes.
2. Gradually add the water, beginning with the boiling water and then the cold water. As you pour, stir the mixture in circular motions with chopsticks or a fork. The dough will slowly come together in a cohesive ball.
3. Once all water is incorporated and the dough has formed a ball, transfer it to a clean, well-floured surface and knead it for 5 minutes to create a smooth, elastic texture.
4. Allow the dough to rest, covered in the fridge while preparing the filling.

Filling Instructions

1. Prepare the green onions by slicing them vertically down the middle, then dicing them into delicate pieces. This allows the scallions to add optimal flavor to the pancakes.
2. In a heat-safe bowl, combine the flour, scallions, salt, and five-spice powder, creating a tantalizing blend of savory and aromatic flavors.
3. Heat the vegetable and sesame oil until over medium heat in a small saucepan. Your oil will be ready when you can stick the end of a wooden chopstick into the oil, and it begins to sizzle.
4. Carefully pour the hot oil over the dry ingredients and when the oil is no longer sizzling, mix thoroughly with a spoon.
5. Allow mixture to cool while rolling out the dough.

Scallion Pancakes Assembly Instructions

1. Divvy up the rested dough into 6 equal portions, keeping them in a rough log space.
2. One ball at a time, begin rolling out the dough into a thin rectangle roughly 6” x 10”.
3. Spoon a generous tablespoon of the flavorful filling onto the dough, spreading it out evenly. Note: make sure you filling is spread all the way to the edge to ensure an even distribution of filling in the final pancake.
4. Carefully roll the dough from top to bottom, forming a snug, long log shape before spiraling it gently into a coil. This method creates plenty of delicious, flakey layers.
5. Let the spiral rest in the fridge, while repeating the process for the remaining dough balls.
6. Once chilled and firm, roll each spiral into a large pancake shape, approximately 7 inches wide.

Cooking Instructions for Scallion Pancakes on the Grill

5. Repeat the process until all pancakes have been transformed into crispy, golden circles, ready to be savored with every bite.
