Two Chinese Dishes in Progress

Over the last few weeks I've experimented with a couple of Chinese dishes. Although they didn't turn out QUITE as I had hoped, they were edible and, when I have some free time for experimenting, I'll work on improving my results.

The first dish came from the dim sum menu at most Chinese restaurants ... rice noodle rolls. They are far from being at

Oh, I will have to try to green onion pancakes. They look wonderful!

They weren't bad for a first attemp. Next time, I would reduce the salt to 2 tsp instead of the 3 tsp that the original recipe called for.

We don't usually do salt at all. Do you think I could bring it down even more?

The recipe said to start with 3 tsp of salt and sprinkle some over each pancake along with the green onions before rolling up the pancake. I decided to add the salt to the flour so as to ensure each pancake got an equal amount of salt. I found the resulting pancake saltier than I liked so I would use 1 1/2 - 2 tsp per the 3 cups of flour next time.

I suppose you could use a pinch of salt 1/8-1/4 tsp per pancake according to your taste. I do think you need some salt however so I wouldn't eliminate it completely.

I think I will go with the sprinkling over each pancake. That way I can keep it to a minimum. thanks!
