Shandong Pancakes

Shandong Pancakes are a delightful and healthy Chinese breakfast dish, featuring crispy, layered pancakes filled with fresh vegetables and herbs. These pancakes are not only delicious but also packed with nutrients, making them a perfect start to your day.

Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 150 grams
• Water - 100 milliliters
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Green onions - 2 stalks, finely chopped
• Carrot - 1 small, grated
• Spinach - 50 grams, chopped
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons for frying

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add water while stirring until a dough forms.
2. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes.
3. In a separate bowl, mix the chopped green onions, grated carrot, and chopped spinach. Drizzle with sesame oil and mix well.
4. Divide the rested dough into 2 equal portions. Roll each portion into a thin circle on a floured surface.
5. Spread a generous amount of the vegetable filling evenly over each circle, leaving a small border around the edges.
6. Roll each pancake tightly like a jelly roll, then coil the roll into a spiral shape. Flatten gently with your palm.
7. Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook each pancake for about 5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
8. Remove from the skillet, slice into wedges, and serve warm.
