Sweet Corn Scallion Cake

Sweet Corn Scallion Cake is a delightful vegetarian dish that combines the sweetness of corn with the savory flavor of scallions, all encased in a crispy, golden crust. This Chinese-inspired pizza is perfect for sharing and is both satisfying and flavorful.

Ingredients

• all-purpose flour - 150 grams
• sweet corn kernels - 100 grams
• scallions - 50 grams, finely chopped
• water - 100 ml
• salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• vegetable oil - 2 tablespoons for frying

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and black pepper.
2. Gradually add water to the flour mixture, stirring until a smooth dough forms.
3. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until it becomes elastic.
4. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes.
5. In a separate bowl, mix the sweet corn kernels, chopped scallions, and sesame oil.
6. Divide the dough into two equal pieces and roll each piece into a circle about 1/4 inch thick.
7. Spread the sweet corn and scallion mixture evenly over one dough circle, leaving a small border around the edges.
8. Place the second dough circle on top and gently press down to seal the edges.
9. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
10. Carefully place the scallion cake in the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
11. Remove from the skillet and let it cool for a minute before cutting into wedges.
12. Serve warm, optionally with soy sauce for dipping.
